[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2344743, member: 365308"] Pilates isn't that new but got trendier. Was originally designed to keep ballet dancers strong and injury free. I teach it and I'd concur with others here that the best exercise is the one you enjoy doing whether that is the movement itself, the bunch of people you do it with and/or an inspiring teacher whether its yoga or Pilates. I am a trainer and advise diabetics a) get moving in your everyday life - stairs, walking b) do some work to build or sustain muscles e.g. squats, push ups, step ups adding in some weight or resistance when you can (dumb bells, machines or bands). [B]The diet still makes the biggest difference though![/B] Having more muscular strength also correlates with a longer healthier and a more independent life! I also help run a Walking for Health diabetes group which helps members be social and keep a consistent fitness habit going. It counts as an outdoor activity so we are allowed to continue this activity in well spaced groups! [/QUOTE]
