You want to do strength exercises for all of your major muscle groups at least twice a week, but no more than 3 days a week. You want to allow adequate recovery time for your muscles. Don’t do strength exercises of the same muscle group on any 2 days in a row. Here I am doing a workout involving my legs. Remember, to start out SLOW! Don’t hold your breath or strain while lifting. Breathe out as you lift or push, and breathe in as you relax. A few more posts in regards to strength training, and then I will spend a little time talking about Diabetes and Pre-diabetes, as this was a question brought up by a patient. Stay tuned!
