[QUOTE="photognut, post: 921163, member: 128529"] I think there should be some sort of initial fitness support group for Diabetics. I know that I greatly benefited from the exercise machines in the hospital, attending Cardiac Rehab 3 days a week for a few weeks. The main benefit was getting you into the right mindset and incorporating exercise into your daily routine. How or, what you did to continue after that was up to you. If you think it is the main route to lose weight, here is a calculation, to burn 500 calories I would need to briskly walk 4 miles. The real benefit, it does my blood sugar levels and little ticker the world of good ;) I'm lucky, I have my own gym. However, for a female or even a male who wants to incorporate an evening walk after the last meal to improve glucose levels, after dark could pose some, security, personal safety concerns. What about getting a fitness DVD or Wii fit if you need something more interactive? There are many options to consider outside of a gym environment. Should there be free gym membership? No. I do think a rehab for a limited period should be available for individuals who want to improve health and well being. [/QUOTE]
