@hopeful33250 For a long time the physical activity involved in maintaining a five acre, fairly wild property was enough, combined with beach walks. In the last few years I developed debilitating dysautonomia and had to downsize into a small urban condo. My current primary exercise has just been walking. I'm just getting started with a vagus nerve stimulation device and hope to add light workouts with small weights. Returning to yoga is also a goal. Fingers crossed!

@hopeful33250 fyi, before my diagnosis I was working in mental health care for people, at end of life, living with chronic or terminal illnesses, and/or with dementia. I co-led exercise, dance and movement groups. I worked with lots of people with Parkinson's. Interesting being on the other side of it now. I dance at home and have recently discovered Dr Cuan Wayne Coetzee on FB; I really enjoy his very doable exercises designed for people with neurological disorders.

@hopeful33250 hello! my husband lifts light weights to help maintain some arm muscle, he does leg lifts and biceps weight machine. only about 10 minutes. he uses the elliptical machine about 5 minutes. then his body temp causes him so much anxiety that’s all he can do. he used to walk in our neighborhood but the heat of the sun on his face (even with a hat) burns his temples and cheeks. he does feel better mentally (less anxiety) after he has exercised and cooled down.
