Diabetes and the Benefits of Strength Training
If you have diabetes, you might want to consider strength training.
Strength training is another form of exercise that is beneficial for those with diabetes. Also known as resistance training, strength training usually involves lifting weights in order to build muscle. You can also increase your strength by pushing or working against something that resists your weight, such as doing pushups
If you have diabetes, research has shown that strength training can:
* improve insulin sensitivity
* improve glucose tolerance
* help you lose weight
* lower your risk for heart disease
