    I strangely became more athletic on a personal level, without really meaning to, slowly but surely, after I was blind, I never considered that one could be athletic without it being all or nothing. That it didn't require me to be professional at it, or competitive at it, to just enjoy being out and about, which wasn't exactly easy, at first, but I definitely knew was necessary. I intended to remain independent as a person, and just find other ways to do everything I usually always did, to meet my
    own standards of how I knew I liked things. I navigated a little further outside every day. Developing my skills forced me to practice form and understand why military training required marching, for several reasons. Eventually I was walking across town, sometimes and not even bothering with riding the busses, or caring if I
    missed the last bus connection home. I really think
    this delayed the onset of my more difficult symptoms of motor neural degeneration, by about 15 years, although most of my
    life, looking back, I had these symptoms from early childhood. They just were probably dismissed because I was, a child, and kind of really acrobatic with extraordinary balance, as differently as I walked and moved.
    Anyhow, the weighted backpack, and meticulous navigational form, plus portability of music and blue tooth, eventually got me running behind cars in marching formation, in a way I never had been able to do before the age of around 36. I became more well than I had ever been in my life. Including breathing. I still force myself out. Doing it without looking is not difficult really, now. It's the dystonia, rigidity, and wrecked sleep, and lots of other autonomic disfunction stuff just interferes lots more frequently. It's much slower going hiking out to do errands, but still effective and helpful. Swimming is still my best boon to the rest of my over all self care. Maybe the cool water, and stretching that can't be done without a deep end. 😊

    I recently started a diabetic exercise program twice a week which among other things includes cycling. I also attend a Parkinson’s exercise program which is a much gentler program. I also attend 1 aqua class a week. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and main meds are levedopa 4 times a day. I have been using this exercise program for 4 weeks now. There has been an improvement in balance but I am very tired. I can fall asleep easily. There is a decrease in appetite and mood swings have increased. I am due to see my neurologist in a couple of weeks so I have a number of questions. I found the podcast extremely interesting. Im in Australia.

      Way to go keeping busy and staying active with exercise! Keep at it!
      Assuming you fall asleep easily at night (and not during the day when you don't intend to fall asleep), this, too, is great news. Sleep improvements are one of the nice benefits of exercise that many people experience.
      Loss of appetite and shifting moods are relatively common, but both may be worth discussing with your neurologist.

    When was this recorded?

      It was recorded in 2013 at a Davis Phinney Foundation Victory Summit.

      I've asked them before to post the dates so we can understand the timeframe.

    So practically speaking, Erg Mode could be more beneficial than spinning at 90 RPM in Free Ride Mode?
