Hi Guys,
I am new to the site so appologies if this is in the wrong area and if its long winded totally new to forums.
I have been a Diabetic for 10 years, and have always worked 12hr night shifts in Television News, so bad eating practices, stress and hot and miss eating ment stupid numbers was common.
Well last year I had a massive scare and nearly lost a toe, which i am very attatched too so I decided my health is priority.
I have done well and my levels are pretty solid with solid average of 6.0. I am also looking at undertaking a 1500 calories based eating plan using MyFitnss Pal.
I have so far lost 4 stone and looking to another 5 stone off. Trying to do 10,000 steps a day when work allows. But I am really struggling a little mentally with the exercise side of the getting healthy.
I am currently doing 20 lengths a day swimming (15m pool) and a 30 Minutes session on the bike in the Gym or just a 20 - 30 Minutes in the Gym at work during my lunch.
I want to up my game on cardio and weights but have been worried to push and really build a gym plan to up my cardio because of dipping to much which i have had happen 3 times.
Wondered if anyone might have any advice on pre and post workout ideas to help keep the balance my Blood levels during a work out.
Totally new to gym environment and at 44 haven't run since my 20's. I am about to get a gym induction and look to build a plan of action for my cardio to really burn this weight off.
Pre work out is an average give or take of 6.5
Any advice would be wonderful.
Thank you in advance.
Darren
