There is growing evidence that exercise can help keep Parkinsons symptoms at bay. Exercise also can help you feel better mentally and emotionally. If motivation is a problem, joining a class can help you stay on track. Most of the exercise classes listed charge a monthly fee to participants. Fees vary, but the average cost is $50 per month to attend class twice a week. AZ-APDA will pay half the cost of the class up to $25 per month for dues paying members. You pay your portion directly to the instructor and AZ-APDA will pay the balance. Check the calendar for classes.
