I too am an exerciser, though not a super-consistent one, and I can vouch for the fact that when I exercise I do better and when I don't, I do worse. I don't run, but I walk, do weight training, and study tai chi. Tai chi in particular is wonderful for balance and mental focus and to counter stress. My tai chi teacher has a class geared specially for Parkinson's patients and some who are more advanced in the disease than I have made wonderful progress. Their balance and posture are noticeably improved.
