Let’s talk about the best exercise for diabetes, prediabetes, and insulin resistance. 

Aerobic exercise (with oxygen ): 
• Walking 
• Yoga 
• Slower type workouts

Anaerobic exercise (without oxygen):
• HIIT (high-intensity interval training)
• Sprinting 
• High-intensity fast exercise 

With aerobic exercise, you burn your stored glycogen (sugar) for the first 20 minutes. After that, your body starts tapping into fat. 

With anaerobic exercise, you burn sugar, but you have a delayed effect with fat-burning. Fat burning sometimes occurs 24-48 hours later when you’re sleeping. 

Anaerobic exercise may be the best type of exercise for diabetes, especially high-intensity interval training (HIIT). You don’t have to do a lot of anaerobic exercise to get the benefits from it. However, it’s very uncomfortable and sometimes painful because you’re putting more effort into it. 

I encourage people to do both anaerobic type exercises and aerobic exercises. Aerobic type exercises are great for reducing stress and promoting sleep. 

Top two benefits of anaerobic exercise:
• It will spike growth hormone the most (growth hormone is the main fat-burning hormone and anti-aging hormone)
• It could increase insulin sensitivity by 23% more than aerobic exercise (can help improve insulin and get rid of insulin resistance) 

You may want to try anaerobic exercise if:
• You are new to keto, and it’s taking a long time for you to adapt
• You’re prediabetic 
• You’re a diabetic (type 1 or type 2)
• You have a problem with your metabolism

I was pre diabetic and obese, but all thanks to Almighty and Dr. Eric berg 🙏❤️

[jennyshanespitler]

Thanks Dr. Berg I exercise two hours everyday I’ve been doing this for 10 years now since I diagnosed with type two diabetes now I’m free diabetes for 3 years. now

[gamleskalle]

I do tabata 16min 2-3 times a week. Works for me. Walk and play badminton too.

[renupunjabi]

I was diagnosed with IR and was asked to walk n eat two meals.

I did so even though I have right leg disability, and I fell drastically ill ending up walking like 80 at 40.

So I stopped walking completely, n haven't been able to lose weight after that. Now I keep shuffling between 2mad n omad.

Also am vegan n have started to eat more of brown rice than white. I do eat sweets with my meals.

Just got blood tests done after a long lockdown gap.
Hba1c: 5.2

T3: 109.68
T4: 8.39
TSH: 9.538

Fasting Insulin: 26.90

I hope Dr Berg reads this and help me, coz I can walk much as I got multiple fractured knee and amputated right foot due to an accident. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I have just started keto and IF. About a month in. Most days I am at one meal a day. Some days my willpower is lower and I have two. It is working for me. I think this is the answer for me. Again I thank you Dr. Berg. I am a big fan of yours.

[redme]

Dr Eric I would like to thank you for your video and advice. I thank God for you. I have lost 40 pounds in almost 3.5 months via keto diet, Intermittent fasting, your video, your food recipes and advices. I am now competing in MMA and successful at my career in the healthcare industry.

[bobsean]

I fell off the wagon a while ago but am using your videos as inspiration/information to get my A1c back to normal. Thanks Dr

[JustMe-mfcx]

I am 47 and was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago. I wish if known yours channel that time. I follow your advice for diet my glucose levels is between 4.5 mmol to 6.4 mmol. No more insulin or Metformin . thanks

This is true in terms of insulin resistance. Whenever I go boxing, which is pretty much HIIT, my insulin always works much better and I require less

[prabhatsinha]

Dr. Berg.. greetings from India. Thanks for the information and knowledge you are imparting. I have started healthy keto coupled with IF, sometimes OMAD..and feeling great. Initially I was apprehensive of getting undernourished due to not eating enough at the restricted meal times..but now I understand and am convinced as you have explained in one of your videos that if you are eating less frequently the nutrients absorption improves hence you need to eat less and my experience does corroborate this..My hunger has gone, am more energetic, am calmer look well nourished and feeling great..thanks a ton for the motivation, guidance and knowledge..I guess there wil be no looking back and am never going to return to mainstream eating pattern. Wonderful...

[justonebethanne]

Thank you so much Dr Berg, for educating all of us! Wish we had more like you!😍❤

I think if you want to burn a lot of visceral fat you have to do aerobic exercise. Generally, if you're fat, you're not going to do any HIIT anyway. Once you lose 30 or 40 (or 100) pounds, then maybe HIIT will enhance it. If I made any mistake, it was not doing weight training while losing weight. I *_strongly_* encourage people to do weight training ASAP. That will cause your body to retain muscle, and also increase insulin sensitivity. I learned this from *_actual first-hand experience._*

[theblytonian]

Cycle and you can easily include both in a single session.

[HealthNutOwl]

I can definitely vouch for that! I do HIIT on a treadmill for about 15 mins, twice a week, and it boosted fat burning for me big time! I look and feel leaner too. Great advise and thank you Dr Berg!! ❤❤❤

[janinashah]

You are the greatest teacher in the world
Thanks a lot Dr

[NoMoretoWork]

Doc, you're the best. LOVE all your videos.
