In this video we review the newest research on the ability of high intensity aerobic exercise to slow the progression of Parkinson's and the benefits of stationary bicycle riding.
Looking to join a Pedaling for Parkinson's class? Look at offerings on the Davis Phinney Foundation website at davisphinneyfoundation.org/programs/pedaling-for-parkinsons/
We will be starting our class on their website in October 2024.
