| needed daily exercise... .
For my T2 body (on no "D" meds), I do:
- TM at 8% incline at 3.6 mph "speed walk" for 30 minutes.
- Glider at 30 minutes.
- Dual action stationary bike for 20 minutes
- Stepper machine for 505 steps.
I do the above above in morning and repeat in evening. Every other night, I also jog 1 mile (with my thick winter coat on), or in the summer with lighter weight clothes, I'll jog 3 miles (every other night). Yes. In addition to the above 2 x day tasks. On the opposit nights, I do skip / jump rope for 15 minutes & Tae-Bo (or shadow boxing) for 20 minutes as well. At my summer seasonal camp site, doing 25 mile peddle bike ride, canoe for 3 miles, cliff diving. then jog for 7 miles in 1 day is normal. Summer is when my BG numbers and BP numbers are the best.
On an average day, I complete 3 to 3.5 hours of exercise "every day". This is mostly because of my "sit on bum" office job. If you're on your feet every day (like a nurse in ER room), perhaps only 30 minutes of "extra" exercise a week is needed. As they say, each body is different.
Hope this helps in your "what is best for your body" research.
