Default Intense Exercise: Neil Sligar's 10-Year Experience - videos

a few videos. not sure what to make of them except he's in great shape for 65.

you certainly would want to consult with a doctor and personally i wouldn't risk lifting the amount of weights he does even if i could, too risky.

Question Touching Your Nose

Thank you for posting this info. I can't believe he hit 140 on the bike, truly an amazing man. In one of the two videos, he said his doctor performed some tests on him to see if he had parkinson's and one of the tests was can he touch his finger to his nose with eyes closed and he couldn't. Is this a marker for pwp? I can touch mine with no problem, so how diagnostic can that be? Can anyone weigh in on this and tell me if you can or can't touch your finger to your nose w/eyes closed?

can't remember if i had that finger to nose test but i have no problem doing that.
i can barely reach 90rpm on a recumbent, have never ridden an upright stationary bike so can't say 140 is impossible but i noticed that too in the video
imho the takeaway wasn't to try to emulate his routine - the videos seem more inspirational than instructional - but to get off your behind and exercise regularly and if possible try increase your strength and cardiovascular fitness.
but that's not to say tai chi, yoga, etc. aren't just as therapeutic.

university of oregon researcher mentions a different approach, not sure what the status is of this research. she thinks adding a mental aspect is important so at least mentioned boxing, kayaking, etc. since they involve quick thinking and movement.
