Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity - How Strength Training Can Be Your Miracle Worker
Have you been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? Are you a bit overweight with a fat belly and are concerned about this killer disease? In this article, I will reveal to you a form of exercise that can be twice as beneficial to you when battling type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The form of exercise that I am referring to is resistant exercise or strength training.
Instead of aerobic or cardiovascular exercise such as running, jogging, walking or working out on a treadmill, we are going to take it up a notch and tackle type 2 diabetes and obesity hard with some effective free weight and bodyweight strength training.
Now, do not worry that you are going to bulk up and become a massive phenom like Ms.
or Mr.
Olympia! No...
our goal is to get you in shape, get tone and fit and in return, this will significantly weaken the effects of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Remember this important tip..
..
The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.
Imagine watching your favorite television show, surfing the internet or enjoying a good sleep while burning fat calories at the same time.
With more lean muscles, this is exactly what you will be achieving! So, let's get ready to throw type 2 diabetes and obesity out the door! Our first exercise will be push-ups.
Holding your body straight with your hips hinged slightly forward, lower your body with your arms until your chin touches the floor and push or rise back up to the starting position.
Form and speed are important...
do not perform this exercise too quickly.
Do 3 sets of 10 reps for the first week and then increase to 15 reps for the second week.
Try to workout at least 3 or 4 times a week.
Our second exercise will be front squats.
This can be performed with a barbell or a dumbbell.
Let's use a dumbbell in this example.
Extend your legs shoulder width or more but make sure your heels are flat on the floor.
Hold the dumbbell under your chin with both hands.
Your palms should be facing each other.
Slowly squat down, pushing your hips back and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
Stand back up to the starting position.
This exercise is one of the best ways to get rid of belly fat for both men and women.
Do 3 sets of 10 reps for your first week and increase the weight and repetitions per week.
Here is a powerful tip: If you combine a healthy meal plan with both strength training and cardiovascular exercises, your risk of diabetes and obesity will be drastically diminished! Okay...
let's look at some more important exercises! Wait...
I have a better idea!
