Cardiovascular Effects of Exercise in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Abdominal strengthening exercises involve the muscles of the abdomen. These exercises are to be done in different positions like lying down (recumbent) position, sitting and standing positions. The person performing the exercise contracts the abdominal muscles for a predetermined number of times (up to 10 times), holds the contracted position for up to 10 seconds and then releases the contraction to relax and return to the original state. These exercises are done for three times everyday.
