Health and Diet
Diabetes is a non-negotiable condition. That means your options are limited if you have diabetes or are predisposed to the disease -- it's essential to adopt good behaviors in order to improve your condition or lower your risk of developing diabetes. Maintain or achieve a healthy weight by following a sensible diet and getting daily physical exercise. When motivation lags, think of your health.
Fitness:
One of the easiest ways to monitor your exercise intensity is to rate perceived exertion (RPE). Whether you walk, jog, bicycle, bench step, climb stairs or perform low-impact aerobics, your exercise intensity should be within a range of comfort. Perceived exertion is assessed by using a 0 to 10 chart to rate the feelings caused by your exertion. The recommended RPE range for most people is usually between 3 (moderate) and 5 (strong).
