I love exercise, and it has pretty much nothing to do with my Diabetes
I exercise to get rid of stress, to invigorate myself, to (like Heather) try to avoid PMS and cramping, for the adrenaline rush, to keep limber, and cause I love feeling like I can kick some butt!
My exercise of choice is Pilates (almost every morning) and Kickboxing. Pilates is great for my abs, balance, and flexibility and no other form of exercise leaves me feeling as relaxed. Kickboxing is great cardio, especially when I have a go at my bag. I also always feel like I'm an Amazon female afterwards
I also walk my dog pretty much every night for at least an hour (power walking) although that's more for her benefit than mine. And of course the side benefit is better control of BG's.
I've also been playing around with doing some running this summer, although I've got some bad shin splints that may end up being a deterrent
