Being Active Is Good For All Of Us But Is Especially Important For People With Diabetes

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 14, 2008 – Make the most of your commute - Walk or bike to work. If you travel by bus, get off a few stops earlier, and walk the rest of the journey. Remember to wear suitable shoes; you can then change into your work shoes at the office.

Despite your body benefiting as soon as you become more active you may not see visible changes straight away. After a few weeks the benefits will become more noticeable to you.

Gradually build up the time spent doing the activity by adding a few minutes every few days or so until you can comfortably perform a minimum recommended amount of activity.

Commit to completing the activities you choose from week to week. However, it is important to remember that there are going to be times when other pressing needs take precedence over these activities. If you find that you are unable to complete your goals for a certain week, take a look back at the week and identify any obstacles that prevented you from doing so. Problem-solve how to side-step those obstacles next time they present themselves.
