yes. i currently take selegeline. i do balance and strength classes in the 
gym and in the pool as well. i think it is a well proven fact that exercise 
of any kind is beneficial and i will do it as long as i can.  another thing 
that i have found extremely helpful is using treking poles when walking. 
they help keep balance and have the added benefit of giving you an upper 
body workout as well.
