12 Surprising Ways to Beat Diabetes

Mix Cardio and Weights

Regular sweat sessions strengthen your defenses against a range of diseases, and diabetes is no exception. Dedicating 300 minutes a week—the equivalent of doing five one-hour workouts—can lower your risk for type 2 diabetes by 59 percent, according to a Harvard University study. What’s more, study participants who mixed both weight training and cardio into their workouts had a lower risk compared to those who did only one or the other. Researchers suggest that each type of exercise improves insulin sensitivity in its own way.

Exercising Tips:

Cable Crunch

  Round your back by contracting your abs as you bring the rope down without changing the placement of your hands.

Decline Crunch w/ Plate

  Curl up high but go down only to where your lower back barely touches the pad.  Adjust the bench angle to increase/decrease difficulty.  Keep your head and neck aligned with your spine throughout the exercise.
