[QUOTE="SkinnyLizzie, post: 623955, member: 64909"] On July 15th I posted about my exercise routine and it seems to be working! I've just had my annual check, my BP, kidney function, BMI etc are all excellent and my HbA1c has gone down from 57 to 46. My exercise guru has also started making me do much harder exercises now and instead of 'lady press ups' on my knees, I can now do 7 proper ones. My current routine is, in the morning, 20 squats, 10 towel stretches, 10 touch toes, 50 heel raises and 7 press ups. In the evening, 20 squats, 7 press ups [trying for more] 20 double leg teaser crunches, 40 single leg teaser crunches with twist, 2 minute plank then plank + alternate leg lifts X 20, plank + extended arm and opposite leg x 10, Glute walk with theraband round feet for 50 steps, 10 Turkish get ups, 50 heel raises. I can in fact hold the plank for 5 minutes now if I try :). My diet is as healthy as I can make it too, no point in just exercising, you have to eat properly as well of course. I'm really, really pleased with my results as, apart from the lower BS reading, I've lost 2 inches from my waist!! I've always been very slim elsewhere and am now 36" 30" 36". My Dr. said I was a model patient on account of all the improvements and that I was much fitter than many people half my age [I'm 66]. I am currently walking on air! [/QUOTE]
