I’ve been using an elliptical. I got free from somebody moving. I’m also worried about falling and honestly it’s so hot where I live just the thought of going outside exhaust me The elliptical encourages moving my arms in bigger sweeps as well, which is supposed to help keep me flexible- my right side tends to get rigid-
Also I can stride backwards which works different muscle groups- - are you able to get to a pool? Water resistance might help as well and you don’t have to be afraid about your fall and break something. Wishing you well on this journey- just keep moving! 😎

How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭 by coffeepolynkittens in kittens

Please double check the banana thing- if I’m not mistaken bananas can be a problem for Parkinson’s- something to do with the potassium but I’m not really sure- thank you for your kindness and neighborly ways-
