| Abstract: | This brochure helps people with diabetes understand the vital role of exercise as part of their complete program of diabetes management. The brochure encourages readers to commit to a regular 30 minute program five days a week, explaining the many health benefits of such an approach. The brochure walks readers through the beginning steps of introducing physical activities into their lives. One chart lists some standard activities, including housework, recreational activities, sports and exercise, and the corresponding number of calories burned per hour. Practical strategies for healthy physical activity are presented. One section outlines a walking program that can be the key to a successful weight loss and fitness plan. Readers are advised to work closely with their health care providers and to contact the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org) for more information. 2 tables. |
