Start with an exercise that is easy and then gradually increase the difficulty level.
Continue to move at a comfortable pace for as long as possible without straining or feeling pain. If this means taking fewer steps than usual, that's okay! Be aware of your body and listen to it: if something hurts or feels uncomfortable during an exercise session (even if it wasn't painful before), stop doing that specific movement immediately until the discomfort goes away completely; then try again later on in another session when the pain has subsided.
Conclusion
Exercise can be an important part of managing Parkinson's disease. It can help you manage your symptoms, improve your quality of life and increase your overall health. In addition to these physical benefits, regular exercise may reduce the risk of other diseases such as heart disease or diabetes. If you have questions about whether or not exercise is right for you, talk with your doctor or physical therapist.
