My 63 year old father was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. He found this video to be very helpful in instructing him on stretching exercises to stay limber and active.

My dad has been living with Parkinson's Disease for nearly 10 years. Through diet, medication, walking, and volunteering, he has stayed remarkably well. As his disease has advanced, he's not able to walk more than a mile without becoming very tired. I bought this tape to supplement his walking program and so that he and mom can workout together. So far, they're LOVING this DVD. They were surprised that it contains 90 minutes of material. They're delighted that the tape shows the exercises as being performed outdoors. I can already tell that dad's flexibility and balance are improving. I think the DVD is a little goofy, but the parents give it two thumbs up!
