Like to see how Australian, Neil Sligar relaxes? Toward the end of four days each and every week, he puts on a T-shirt, shorts and pair of jogging shoes and heads for the gym. Believe it or not, indoor rowing and cycling at unusually high speed for a fellow of 65 years are easy compared to getting dressed or holding a cup of coffee. An oddity of his Parkinson’s is that as his exertion increases, the Parkinson’s abandons him.
Neil works out in the company of fit young people. No one says “Neil, you have Parkinson’s. You’d better take it easy." No one would dare.

Way to go, Neil.
