| Abstract: |
Sticking to an exercise plan is tough, but the key is simple: stay active by making the most of the activities you already do. This revised and expanded book includes many easy ways to build activity and exercise into a daily, low-impact fitness routine. Designed for readers with diabetes, the book includes eight chapters: why exercise is so important for people with diabetes, establishing reasonable goals, the building blocks for an activity program, incorporating activity into everyday events and chores, activity across the lifespan, walking as a core exercise strategy, exercising safely with diabetes, and sample exercises, with line drawings illustrating how to do the exercises. Much of the information is presented in charts or checklists. One appendix offers a list of physical activity, diabetes, and health resources. A subject index concludes the text. |
