Why Is Exercise and Fitness Important for Diabetics?

  • Exercise improves blood sugar control
  • With a low fat, low calorie diet and exercise, lose up to 10% of your weight in 6 months
  • Increase insulin sensitivity
  • Increase circulation, improve blood pressure and lower cholesterol
  • Reduce health care costs because you are taking preventative care of yourself
  • Hemoglobin A1c can drop up to one whole percent in 3 months

Why Do People with Diabetes Need a Specialized Exercise Program?

There are many interconnected factors that necessitate the guidance of an experienced professional trainer. For example, did you know that if your pre-exercise blood sugar level is below 100, you should eat approximately 15 grams of carbohydrate before a 30-minute workout? At Lenard Fitness, we recommend blood sugar checks before and after exercise. This gives you a way to track your individual patterns over time, ensuring optimal results.
