If I have already told you about this study, comment with a ❤️

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy, it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.

These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health.

Livestrong at the Y!
Earlywine Park YMCA Livestrong begins THIS WEEK!!! Last I heard we still had room for TWO more cancer survivors!!! So if you are interested you gotta move fast!
To celebrate the beginning of the new session, I’ll share a few photos from Livestrong before I was an instructor. They’re from our first post COVID session, when I partipated as a survivor. 🙂

Earlywine Park YMCA and the Healthy Living Center are planning to be open from 10am-4pm. My Silver Sneaker Classic class at 10:30 has been canceled as I’m not sure I can get out of my neighborhood. Be safe out there!
You can workout at home with the Y360 app or with Silver Sneakers online.
