Weight Training and Diabetes


Have you ever wondered if weight training is right for you? Maybe you think it’s only for the “muscle heads” at the gym or the women on ESPN who flex for the cameras.
A weight-training program for many people may mean going to the gym, but working out at home with dumbbells or resistance bands can help you get started.
Two Times a Week Is a Good Start
The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Diabetes Association recommend that you train a minimum of two times per week, doing eight to 12 repetitions per set of eight to 10 exercises targeting major muscle groups.
