At-home exercises for Parkinson’s
Being active is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your physical and mental well-being. Exercise will not alter the progression of Parkinson’s but it is essential for maintaining your quality of life. Unfortunately, for those of us who live in colder climates, winter weather can make it difficult or unappealing to leave the comfort of our homes to go to the gym or yoga studio, or even just to take a walk.
Today I found a guide for exercising/stretching at home with Parkinson’s disease. You can check it out here: https://www.parkinsons.va.gov/NorthWest/Documents/Pt_ed_handouts/Exercise_for_PD_1-20-12.pdf
Have you tried any of these exercises and/or stretches? Do you enjoy working out at home?
