Chit Chat for Diabetics

The frequency of exercise depends on a variety of factors such as age, fitness level, and overall health. However, here are some general guidelines:

1. Adults: The Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, spread out over at least three days per week. Resistance training should also be included at least two days per week.

2. Older adults: Regular physical activity can help maintain independence and improve quality of life. The same guidelines as for adults apply, but it is also recommended to include balance and flexibility exercises to help prevent falls.

3. Children and adolescents: Children and adolescents should engage in physical activity for at least one hour every day. This should include a mix of aerobic and strength-building activities.

It's important to talk to a doctor or a licensed professional before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns.
