Many sugar friends are eager to lower their blood sugar through exercise, but they lose enthusiasm because they can't stand too much exercise. If you can't get used to walking for half an hour, you might as well start with a little exercise. "Don't worry about the low intensity of exercise," said the walking coach in San Diego. Studies have shown that walking for ten minutes every day is also good for health. " So, walk for ten minutes three times a day until you can walk for thirty minutes.

If you are not used to exercise before, it is difficult to adapt to high-intensity exercise in a short time. You might as well walk for half an hour every day to accumulate exercise by extending the walking distance. Another good method is that you can use different intensities in an exercise, and walk fast 10 minutes and then slow down 10 minutes, which is very beneficial to improve cardiopulmonary function.

It is better to choose a variety of exercise methods than a single exercise method. An ideal one-week fitness plan should include one day's brisk walking, one day's long-distance endurance training and one day's climbing training to increase muscle strength. Through strength training and flexibility training, sugar friends can keep fit. The perfect walking exercise should adapt to your own lifestyle, whether it is cooking or taking a lunch break.
