Delay the disease - exercise and Parkinsons disese   Review Date: March 8, 2010 Reviewer: Mrs. Robyne K. Waller, Sydney, NSW, Australia I am finding this book useful as an exercise aid to keep my body more flexible and to avoid some of the stiffness which comes with PD. I have not attempted all exercises yet - but am working on it. I have found exercise also helps to feel less depressed and more positive. Robyne WallerDelay the Disease -Exercise and Parkinson's Disease Help When Needed   Review Date: January 3, 2010 Reviewer: Elizabeth K. Secor, Phila, PA This book is like a friend. It coaxes, encourages and explains. The easy-to-use format makes it possible to use by myself. Exercises are very well depicted and there's no confusion . I'm really glad I have it, and try to devote time each day to using it. Focus on those exercises   Review Date: December 14, 2008 Reviewer: newly diagnosed, NYC Purchased with PD[[ASIN:0470073950 Parkinson's Disease For Dummies (For Dummies (Health & Fitness)) which provides a wide range of information about PD and includes an excellent illustrated chapter on diet and exercise. I like that Delay the Disease -Exercise and Parkinson's Disease is a spiral book with diagrams. Guidance is provided to help design a weekly schedule. Exercises are grouped by degree of difficulty and tabs allow speedy reference to them while you are working out. Dummies is my reference tool but this book is used every day. I envision tossing this into my suitcase when travelling to ensure I do my exercises. exercise for PD people   Review Date: November 1, 2008 Reviewer: Kelley Walrath, This is an excellent guide to things that will keep you flexible and balanced - so important in PD. Delay the Disease   Review Date: September 1, 2008 Reviewer: nancyg, Great book. Exercises all have pictures clearly showing what to do and there are 3 levels of difficulty so people can use this at different stages of the disease. Organized my workout.
