I do my best to try to motivate my friends with PD to exercise....
why is it like pulling teeth.????...even when they see how hard I exercise and know in their hearts it is beneficial. It is so detrimental to just sit / eat/ and watch the tv most of the day. Force yourselves to just get up and get moving....find something that is fun for you or you won't keep it up. So much to chose from.....swimming, stationary bike, floor exercise, dance, yoga , tai chi, etc. Just getting out and walking in the sunshine is wonderful.
The more you do, the more you will be able to do.
The more stationary you are....the worse it will be to do even simple tasks and the more depressed you will become. (a no win situation for sure)
