About the ride that started it allWhat forced exercise and high-intensity exercise are and why those types of exercise help reduce Parkinson’s symptomsA surprising symptom that seems to improve with exerciseThe best exercise you can do and whyDr. Alberts first discovered how beneficial cycling is when he rode tandem with a person with Parkinson's. After the ride, her handwriting improved dramatically.Further testing with a person who had DBS resulted in similar benefits. When his stimulator was turned off, his tremor re-emerged.
