Default Insanity -11 years post dx ...

I have used machines and weights regularly since dx and I believe exercise is the only effective way to slow progression of PD.

Recently I bought the "Insanity 60 day exercise program" and I am at day 38. It is brilliant, makes me feel like I did during the honeymoon years following dx. Amongst other things, it focusses on stretches for flexibility and balance exercises and of course "digging deep". Where other programs have short bursts of high activity seperated by longer periods of low activity, Insanity has long periods of high activity and short bursts of low activity.

Definitely not for everyone, at the start you are lucky if you can make it through the warm up without stopping, and you know by the end you will end up a sweaty mess rolling around the floor but by heck it gets results (also lost 15 pounds in 5 weeks.

Avoid if you have an injury as well.

Guess you can tell, I just can't say enough positive things about it, Insanity and Shaun T for PD, you heard it here first.

Take care,
Neil.
