Day 9: Aim for at Least 30 Minutes of Exercise Daily 🏃🏽‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️

Hello friend,

Welcome back to The Diabetic Toolbox, where we’re on a mission to end type 2 diabetes one family at a time.

Today is Day 9 of our Emotional Eating & Diabetes 14-Day Course, and we’re focusing on a powerful habit that supports both your mental and physical health:

Daily Movement.

I know the phrase “aim for 30 minutes of exercise” can sound intimidating, but here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it all at once.

When I first started walking again, I could only manage 10 minutes at a time. Then I worked up to two 10-minute sessions a day. Eventually, I began adding 20-minute walks and alternating yoga on other days. It was a process, and it worked.

Start Where You Are 💛

The key is to move your body in a way that:

• Feels good.
  
• Fits your schedule.
  
• And supports your healing journey.
  

Exercise should feel empowering, not punishing.

Moving your body daily can help you:

• Lower blood sugar naturally.
  
• Burn calories and support weight loss.
  
• Improve energy, mood, and sleep.
  

And it doesn’t have to be complicated! Choose a couple of activities you genuinely enjoy and build from there.

Here are a few great pairs to mix and match:

• Walking + Yoga 🧘🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♂️
  
• Dancing + Strength Training 💃🏽🏋🏽
  
• Swimming + Stretching 🏊🏽‍♀️🧎🏾‍♀️
  

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is consistency, not perfection.
