Best exercises to lower blood sugar fast (ALL STANDING 10 Minutes)
These are the best exercises to lower blood sugar fast you can do at home in 10 minutes.
Watch me lower my blood sugar fast with these simple body weight exercises you can do at home for improved health. By using a Nutrisense CGM (continuous glucose monitor) I’m able to demonstrate what happens to my body when I perform 10 minutes of body weight exercise after eating. Research has shown that short, intense bouts of exercise can stabilize glucose levels. Even for those who may have impaired glucose tolerance, circuit training increases insulin sensitivity. How long you should wait to exercise after eating can vary person to person, so please refer to this helpful guide from the Cleveland Clinic on how to determine the best time for your unique needs.
An exercise routine that includes aerobics and strength training can improve blood sugar levels and overall health. Many of my other low impact video routines offer aerobics training for blood sugar management, so to mix it up in this video we are focused on resistance training. In 10 minutes we will move through 10 different body weight strength exercises. To get the most out of our time, I want you to really focus on SQUEEZING your muscles with each rep. This will cause your muscles to contract, allowing your cells to take up glucose for energy. You can perform the entire workout without any weights, but if you have a set at home feel free to add them in to provide additional resistance. This video is something you can repeat multiple times per day when you feel you need to lower your blood sugar quickly. All the exercises are performed standing so you don’t need to get down on the floor. And the best part is increased insulin sensitivity can last 24 hours or more after you exercise.

Nutrisense is bringing continuous glucose monitors (aka CGM’s) to the masses. That’s right, CGMs are no longer just for diabetic patients, and that’s in large part due to our shifting understanding of metabolic health and its root cause in several chronic diseases. Using a CGM can help you improve glucose levels, understand your response to food + training, and make informed healthy lifestyle changes. Do you already use a CGM to keep your metabolic health in good shape? Let me know in the comments below. If you dont already use one, get a discount with my code CJFITSQUAD here.
