What Type of Exercise Should I Do?

To help manage the symptoms of PD, be sure your exercise program includes a few key ingredients:

• Flexibility (stretching) exercises
• Aerobic activity

These elements are included in many types of exercise. Biking, running, Tai chi, yoga, Pilates, dance, weight training, non-contact boxing, qi gong and more — all have positive effects on PD symptoms.
