this time I am asking about my husband. He has lots of health problems but last fall we were walking 3 miles a day. Then almost overnight his get up and go just got up and went. It’s been over a year now and he is slowly coming back to normal but still lacks energy to get up and do anything. He has gained a lot of weight but is slowly loosing on my cooking. LOL but it’s true. I cook differently than he does.
So between now and whenever – if he ever gets his energy back – does it make that much difference?
I know exercise is good no matter who you are and what your health situation is. But I’m wondering what it specifically does to your HbA1c if you are diabetic? Does it help lower this and how? How big of a roll does exercise come into play when someone who has diabetes is trying to maintain control of their sugar levels?
Argh I’ve read so many advice from all these people and there’s soooooo many misconceptions that hurt people instead of helping.
1) You resistance train before cardio because in the beginning your using up quick stored energy instead of the fat on your body. Cardio burns more fat so do it when all the stored energy has been used.
2) Toning does not exist. Tone is just the state of your relaxed muscle. If you do high reps low weight your muscles build more endurance and firmer they don’t look any better or have any better definition.
3) Doing ab exercises does not give you abs. There is no such thing as “spot reduction.” Losing the fat on your stomach requires dieting and cardio.
4) Doing ab exercises w/o additional weight only gives you endurance not muscle growth.
5) You can’t exercises crazily and not diet and expect good results.
6) There are NO quick fixes, any dramatic change takes time to do it right and to do it well.
I would like to get in better shape for health reasons, I have high blood pressure. Thanks in advance. . .
Each step you take creates a vibration that is counted on the pedometer as a ’step’. The force of the step makes the counter move on one point. An adult should try and take at least 10,000 steps per day – approximately 3 miles. You will need to calibrate the pedometer (if it allows you) to count the correct number of your steps to the mile, but generally it is around 3,000. Some pedometers also check calorie usage. Enjoy!
