You’ve heard the advice: Get active at least 30 minutes every day. But if you’re short on time and the idea of the gym doesn’t thrill you, you've come to the right place. We've got tips for getting active outside of the gym, along with a checklist for safe exercise when you have diabetes.

The benefits of exercise are many, especially if you have diabetes. Exercise helps you burn extra sugar in your body and helps improve insulin sensitivity. It burns calories too, helping you lose extra body fat. Exercise can also relieve stress and boost your mood and overall health.

Aerobic exercise can lower your chance of heart disease, a special problem if you have diabetes. Resistance exercise builds muscle, which helps you burn fat and control your sugar levels.
