The researchers discovered that strenuous sweat sessions might have the best benefits. That’s why the American Diabetes Association (ADA) would recommend everyone, no matter if you have diabetes or not, to get up every 30 minutes and perform any type of light activity.
“So many studies proved how interrupting sitting with constant movement is efficient for your metabolism, and it also increases insulin sensitivity.” as Sheri Colberg, professor emerita of exercise science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, explained.
“The wide majority of people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes might suffer from insulin resistance, so moving frequently might lower it.” If you really want to put an end to your sedentary habits, make sure you note how much time you spend sitting.
Then, try to look for other ways of reducing that amount of time: you can either set an alarm on your smartphone to stand up and move for a couple of minutes every half hour or stretch during commercials if you’re watching TV.
