By Thomas McDonald


Parkinsons diseases, a degenerative disorder in central nervous system develop gradually over time and affects the motor system mainly. Symptoms come slowly usually with these early ones being slowness of movement, shaking, difficulty with walking and rigidity. Problems in behavior and thinking may happen like depression, anxiety and dementia in advance stages being common.

This disease have an unknown exact cause but environmental factors and genetics are thought to have an involvement with the development. A cure has not been found for this although initial treatment are there that after a while becomes less effective. Parkinsons disease exercise is a sample of this treatment improving balance, peace of mind and stability.

Their benefits include improvement of symptoms and their gait, coordination, grip, flexibility and balance when maintained. This could decrease complications and risks of falls which can worsen the condition if not avoided. Recommended exercises for these are tai chi, yoga, walking on treadmill and biking that will help slow its progression.

Before you start these activities, remember your safety should be kept first through wearing comfortable shoes and clothing while giving you good support. Ensure that the safety gears you possess are correct for your activity like when cycling having elbow pads, bike helmet and knee pads. Good posture is vital for having good balance while correct alignment makes efficient and stable movement.

Do these exercises when your medicines and medications are properly working and you have rested well. If a particular exercise would cause you pain, stop doing it as every movement should be done to prevent injury by controlling it. Recognize when you feel tired and if one day you overexerted yourself, have a break with your routine the next day to restore and heal your energy.

Perform daily simple stretches and exercises for posture while you avoid to bounce yourself and follow various routine every day that incorporates balance and strength. Aim in doing aerobic activities like biking, walking and swimming three days in a week with twenty minutes each. Try exercise videos and home equipment if getting out will be difficult.

Challenge yourself to keep a high intensity level which for you might not feel hard because each person will feel different. Studies and research have stated that great intensity in longer periods will help you achieve the best results. Although start slowly with one activity in four days of a week and increase it slowly when doing more is possible.

Pick something that you like doing as exercising should not become something painfully sluggish and limited to gyms. Be realistic though with your expectations particularly when you barely do physical activities previously so begin with small bits first then slowly increase it. Doing this with friends and loved ones together have added benefits of support, fun and accountability.

Be consistent by continuing on doing this longer because programs that lasts for months will give more benefits than those lasting for some weeks. Safety is important with possible injuries setting you back with your program and aggravating your disease potentially. Remember to stop when pain is felt, wear proper gear, cool down, warm up and stretch.
