Stair climbing is not an issue with me. I am 59 and was diagnosed with PD 18 months ago. I have been exercising:
- walking,
- walking with trekking poles,
- lifting weights,
- riding stationary bike (gave up riding in the street since my accident)
- balance exercises, and
- Big and Loud exercises. I
believe the whole package of activities has keep me stable for now
I am not taking any meds.
I also believe diet has helped.

For whatever its worth 🙂

Hi Steve, you seem to be at the same stage as my husband and hopefully the exercise you both do will greatly slow down the progression. My husband runs on days when he doesn't do the "I Love Kickboxing" classes.
