If you have such a degenerative disease, you likely will be finding time for it, regardless. For MOST people, the benefits of 20 minutes of TM vs 20 minutes of exercise, make the 20 minutes TM more important. Especially when TM usually gives you more energy afterwards so you CAN do that 20 minutes of exercise.
