If you have diabetes, it’s not just about moving your body — it’s about choosing the right kind of exercise that improves your health without putting you at risk.
Not all exercises are created equal, and certain types are perfect for managing blood sugar levels and strengthening the body safely.

Let’s dive into the top exercises recommended by experts — and strongly advised by Coach Hamzeh Kafawin to his clients:

1. Brisk Walking ‍♂️

The simplest and most accessible exercise for all ages and fitness levels.
Just 30 minutes of brisk walking daily can lower blood sugar, improve circulation, and burn a good amount of calories.

Tip: Try to walk at a moderate to fast pace, and if possible, walk with a partner to stay motivated.

2. Swimming ‍♂️

A golden exercise for people with diabetes!
It strengthens the heart without putting stress on the joints, engages all muscle groups, and burns a significant number of calories.

Tip: Swimming 3 times a week is an excellent routine to control blood sugar and boost overall fitness.

3. Strength Training ️‍♀️

Lifting weights or using your own bodyweight (like squats and push-ups) helps build muscle,
and the more muscle you have, the more sensitive your body becomes to insulin — leading to naturally lower blood sugar levels.

Tip: Start with light to moderate resistance training twice a week, ideally under a coach’s supervision at first.

4. Cycling ‍♂️

Whether on a real bike or a stationary one at the gym, cycling offers an amazing cardio workout,
activates the leg muscles, and boosts blood circulation without heavy impact on the joints.

5. Yoga and Stretching ‍♂️

It might sound surprising, but yoga greatly reduces stress (which can spike blood sugar),
while improving flexibility, muscle strength, and overall body control.

Coach Hamzeh Kafawin’s Advice

Coach Hamzeh strongly recommends a mix of:

• Cardio exercises (like walking or cycling)

• Strength training (like light weightlifting)

to achieve the best blood sugar control and maintain a strong, healthy body.
He always emphasizes starting gradually, monitoring your blood sugar before and after workouts, and most importantly — choosing activities you genuinely enjoy so you can stick to them for life.

Summary ✨

It’s not just about exercising — it’s about exercising smart!
Choosing the right activities will not only help you control diabetes, but also live a stronger, more energized, and healthier life every single day.
