I have received the new book that Becky Farley has just released on her PWR! Moves program of exercise. It is not really anything I did not already know because I have heard Becky speak numerous times, as well as having attended her exercise retreat twice. And my personal trainer Sarah uses her methods as well. But it is nice to have it explained better, and presented in a whole concept, although her presentation is a little haphazard to me. Still once again, it offers the proverbial kick in the butt. Which I ALWAYS need.
Becky' foundation is a set of four moves -- reaching, rocking, twisting and stepping. These each can be done prone, supine, seated or standing. And they can be boosted, i.e. enhanced, by hand, speech, breathing or brain exercises. I plan to review all of these possibilities even though I already do lots of these. It doesn't hurt to rework my system regularly. I really believe that if I can keep up this exercise thing, I can keep my PD at bay (dare I add ... Indefinitely?).
This week was the 16 th anniversary of my diagnosis. Wow! Keep moving!

Hi E! Wow--16 years!! You are amazing! I have been spreading the word about what I have learned from you about PD and about the world of what people can and should do for themselves and not think that their doctor is going to take care of everything!
