- Fatigue: Parkinson's disease can cause fatigue, which can make it difficult for a person to sustain exercise for a long period of time.
- Tremors: Parkinson's can cause tremors, which can make it difficult to perform exercises that require precise movements, such as weightlifting or yoga.
- Difficulty with fine motor skills: Parkinson's can make it difficult to perform activities that require fine motor skills, such as writing or buttoning clothes.
- Difficulty with initiating movements: Parkinson's can cause difficulty with initiating movements, called bradykinesia, which can affect in starting an exercise routine or completing it.
