Diabetes is stalking you. What's your workout today?

Lower body weights workout. 20 mins in the sauna.

Jeff Spicoli

Workin' legs today, too. I used to justify skipping them. No more of that. 🙂

That reminds me - I need to see if 5th Avenue candybars are back in stock at CVS.

30 minutes of cardio, arms and chest today.

Apr 24, 3:36pm

Leg day for me, and cardio's gotta be part of it.

KCFan85

Apr 24, 3:38pm

Agreed. And I am in the same boat as you. I’d rather put the time in to exercise to avoid Diabeetus and HBP.

specsauce

Apr 24, 3:43pm

I know a bunch of people who have diabetes. Scarier than cardio for sure.

Yep, one day on a specialized epic.

This is my first time doing it. The group I’m with are all on mountain bikes.

blackandblue

These posts are starting to feel like cardio shaming to me. 😃

KCFan85
