His exercise program was walking until he began falling...from that point on he exercised sparingly. He was alone at home w/o supervision or help and no one was available to take him to exercise places. I personally was ignorant of PD and his condition until the last 3-5 years. Then I had little intervention with him since I was in Georgia and he was in Texas. It was only in the last 1-2 years that I got involved and by that time it was late.
