Welcome to session 2 of Exercise for People with Type 2 Diabetes.
A lot of this session is built around the revision of the first session.
So I’ll just be reiterating the main reasons for completing regular exercise.
And again, I just want to re-enforce the point, it’s not about whether you’re sick or not;
it’s about what you can do from now to make you healthier and to give you more control
over your own life and your own abilities.
And again, I want to re-enforce moderate-intensity physical activity
for at least 30 minutes on 5 or more days of the week—is the official recommendation.
And it’s better to do some physical activity, for example 10 to 20 minutes every day than one hour once a week.
And those recommendations are based on health benefits rather weight loss, exercise is much better in preventing weight gain creating weight loss.
So if we’re talking about generating weight loss, you want to double those quantities.
With respect to rest and over-training, after your heavier days' work out or your weights exercises;
the day after you should include a lighter days that would be a good opportunity to include the cardiovascular exercises—
the walking or the bike riding or any of those other moderate to lighter activities.
