- Healthy LivingAccording to Diabetes Canada’s Clinical Practice Guidelines, people with diabetes should accumulate a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise each week. This exercise should be spread over at least three days of the week, with no more than two days in a row without exercise. Aerobic exercises work your heart and lungs, and carry oxygen to your muscles. Read more about how much exercise is needed here. Resistance exercise should be performed three times per week, in addition to aerobic exercise. Resistance exercises increase muscle strength and complement the benefits of aerobic exercise. https://www.diabetescarecommunity.ca/diet-and-fitness-articles/physical-activity-articles/exercise-planning/exercise-plan-diabetes/
