Before you get frustrated that you do not see a reduction or
elimination of Parkinson’s disease symptoms after a couple of weeks of intense workouts, keep in
mind that my success was built on a body that had spent a lifetime getting
ready for this challenge through constant fitness activity (and an excess
amount of vanity). Not to mention 14 years of trying to get it right.
Don’t get discouraged at all. You will get there on your own
schedule. Try being vain by looking at yourself in a mirror and telling
yourself that you see improvement in your biceps, triceps or any other muscle
you happen to fancy. Get a hold of a book on body building and fixate on growing big muscles. If you are normal, you won’t be able to even come close,
but I guaranty that even if you are 85, you can grow muscles and strength and improve
your physique, feel better physically and feel good mentally because you are
vain like me.
Also, do not underestimate the amount of commitment and pure
over-the-top dedication your program of beating Parkinson’s disease at it’s own
nasty little game will take. It will be the most effort you will have ever put
into a physical and mental endeavor and you will need to endure a lot of pain.
But in the end, you will also get more satisfaction than you will ever otherwise
feel. You will be doing something no one else will ever understand, unless, God
forbid, they take Parkinson’s home for a permanent visit.
That’s my pep talk for this point in anticipation (and hope)
that at least one person is being motivated to get moving and regain the parts
of their lives they once thought they would never experience again. Because now
they can.
So please share this blog with someone who can use it. For
everyone else, take from it whatever you like. Thanks for reading this.
