People with Parkinson's disease are encouraged to exercise regularly. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Exercise Frequency: It is suggested to engage in exercise three times per week.
- Duration: Start with 10 minutes each day and gradually increase the duration as you become accustomed to the activity.
- Recovery: It is normal to feel some muscle soreness following exercise. Maintaining hydration, stretching, and warming up can help combat muscle soreness. If you exercise too hard, you may feel more pain than usual for a day or two afterward. Soreness is a sign to take it a little easier next time.

Regular exercise can help improve quality of life, mobility, function, and mood, and reduce the burden on caregivers.

Hi, Martin! I have not been able to exercise regularly for a long time. That is a very important question. I am on home PT on maintenance which has allowed me more days than usual. Most likely to end this week. Good luck and keep it up. Me, too. Blessings, JudyTx 🌹🫂🫂🫂🫂🙏🏻🐾
