Recently diagnosed – Exercise

Hi
In August 2025 I was diagnosed with PD, aged 49. Following my diagnosis I promised myself I would do everything possible to lessen the impact DP would have. However, 6 months later I haven’t really done any ( with family, kids, work etc taking most of my time) exercise wise which I believe is really important. Up until recently I was very sporty done most sports soccer, gaa, jogging etc. but was never one for the gym.

My symptoms are sometimes worse sometimes ok (I am on medication). I do tend to have a lot of leg cramps but presume this could be down to lack of exercise in general. Just looking for some advice on what people do particularly in the gym to help? Do people find gyms in general help for example could you disclose PD to the gym and ask them to tailor a program?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Damien
