Exercise &#13;<br \/>\npromotes weight loss and can prevent some of the more serious &#13;<br \/>\ncomplications associated with the disease, and for those with &#13;<br \/>\npre-diabetes, it can actually reduce the risk of diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>However,&#13;<br \/>\n exercising doesn&#8217;t have to be a huge ordeal. Certainly no one is asking&#13;<br \/>\n you to lift weights in the Olympics next year, and you should make sure&#13;<br \/>\n to talk to your doctor or diabetes educator before you start any &#13;<br \/>\nexercise program to see how it will affect your blood sugar. After you &#13;<br \/>\nget the scoop though, here are some ideas for good exercises that you &#13;<br \/>\ncan easily use to meet your goals.<\/p>\n<p>You should try to get a &#13;<br \/>\nwell-balanced diet of exercise in your life. Exercise should include &#13;<br \/>\nsome aerobic exercise, some strength training, and some flexibility &#13;<br \/>\nexercise. (This goes for all adults, not just those with diabetes. It&#8217;s &#13;<br \/>\njust good policy.) Here are a few ideas from each category.<\/p>\n<p>Aerobic<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<ul>\n<li>Walking is still a good option for anyone, and it&#8217;s easy to fit into&#13;<br \/>\n your schedule. If you live close enough, walk to the store, or to work.&#13;<br \/>\n If not, then instead of watching an hour of TV to clear your head and &#13;<br \/>\nrelax, watch a half-hour show and then take a brisk half-hour walk &#13;<br \/>\n(while you listen to a Podcast or your favorite play list, perhaps?)&#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Take an Aerobics class &#8211; nothing too hard core, but some light &#13;<br \/>\naerobics in an environment where you feel motivated to go and to last &#13;<br \/>\nall the way through.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Swimming can be both relaxing and very healthy<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Fun stuff like roller blading, ice skating, dancing, or tennis.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Try treadmills or stationary bikes in winter to prevent your routine&#13;<br \/>\n from being interrupted just because you don&#8217;t want to go outside.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p\/>\n<div class=\"mobile-ad-container\"><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"\/><!-- 0-Test Responsive --><ins data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3754405753000444\" data-ad-slot=\"4795413898\" data-ad-format=\"horizontal\"><ins id=\"aswift_4_expand\" style=\"display:inline-table;border:none;height:60px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:309px;background-color:transparent\"><ins id=\"aswift_4_anchor\" style=\"display:block;border:none;height:60px;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;visibility:visible;width:309px;background-color:transparent\"><iframe marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" onload=\"var i=this.id,s=window.google_iframe_oncopy,H=s&#038;&#038;s.handlers,h=H&#038;&#038;H[i],w=this.contentWindow,d;tryd=w.document}catch(e){}if(h&#038;&#038;d&#038;&#038;(!d.bodyelse if(h.match){try{h=s.upd(h,i)}catch(e){}w.location.replace(h)}}\" id=\"aswift_4\" name=\"aswift_4\" style=\"left:0;position:absolute;top:0;\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"60\" width=\"309\"\/><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins>&#13;\n<script><![CDATA[\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n]]><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Strength Training<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<ul>\n<li>Join a gym and have someone show you how to work various muscles. More muscles burn more calories.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Try weight training at home with a small set of weights. Its doesn't take much when you just want to tone and build strength. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p\/>\n<p>Flexibility<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you're stretching&#13;<br \/>\n when you exercise.

Park far from the&#13;<br \/>\n door when you go to the store and walk from the other end of the &#13;<br \/>\nparking lot. Take the stairs. Do some vigorous house cleaning or yard &#13;<br \/>\nwork. Staying active will make you feel better, physically and mentally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; If you have diabetes, you&#8217;re probably very aware that at least 30&#13; minutes of exercise per day can be a great way to manage it.
