Winter is an ideal time to engage in virtual exercise, says Ryan Glatt, a physical therapist and health coach at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute in Santa Monica, CA. Options include group classes by videoconference, recorded classes on YouTube, and telehealth with a physical therapist. Other activities are chair yoga, recumbent cycling, and using an under-desk elliptical. Walking also is an excellent form of exercise, but people with poor balance should avoid using a treadmill, says Natalie Witek, MD, a movement disorders specialist with the Advocate Medical Group in Park Ridge, IL.

Before starting any home exercise program, check with your primary care physician or neurologist. Also, make sure you have something you can hold on to for balance, like a sturdy chair or nearby wall, says Leigh Anne Bolling Richards, an instructor with Rock Steady Boxing, a class she leads at the YMCA of Greater Montgomery, AL. And remove area rugs and other tripping hazards.
