Here is a question I recently received from FOODPICKER.org:
I have pre-diabetes and have been doing a pretty good job of exercising outdoors during the spring and summer months. Now that the weather is starting to cool down, I am trying to determine what I can do for physical activity in the colder months. Suggestions?
Answer: It’s great that you have been exercising! Research shows that those with Pre-Diabetes can make simple lifestyle changes (including regular physical activity) to reduce risk for diabetes later in life. With regards to exercise in the colder months, here are a few suggestions:
- If you enjoy exercising outdoors, look into winter activities such as skiing (down hill or cross-country), snow shoeing, or ice skating for example).
- Look into joining a gym or health club when the weather does allow for outdoor activity.
- Check with your local community center for group exercise classes.
- Consider purchasing a piece of exercise equipment for your home (such as a treadmill for example).
