You may well surprise yourself as I have done. Two years ago after being stop start with an exercise routine which I have written about here on the forum - this is a link to the first one Exercise and Parkinson’s and I have recently written a concluding one - I began working with a personal trainer. Starting with the simple aim of maintaining what function I had and working mainly on balance, core and strength, my mind set has now totally changed and I am looking to improve. It may not be linear in the way of people getting fit without Parkinson’s, I describe it as more zig zag but I have surpassed any and all expectations - In a couple of weeks I will come to the 14th anniversary of my diagnosis and a couple of months ago, on my 66th birthday, I was jogging, not far but jogging nonetheless. I am fitter and stronger than I have been in years and now do 3 x 1 hour sessions per week which are very varied and have become an essential part of my week. So with the right support there’s nothing to stop you reaching for the stars even if it may not be in the way you envisaged. Good luck to you in whatever you end up doing.
