Diabetes isn’t just about managing low blood sugar levels 📉

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools in diabetes management — and that includes protecting your bone health 🦴

Research shows diabetes may also lead to:
• Reduced bone formation
• Reduced bone density
• Increased fracture risk

That’s why the right type of exercise matters.

Our Exercise Physiologist Bella discusses 4 important exercise components for diabetes and bone health management:
🚴🏻‍♀️Weight-bearing endurance
🏋️ Resistance exercise
⚡ Plyometrics
⚖️ Balance training

Need some ideas on how to warm up those shoulders before your swim leg at Busselton 100? Wes has you covered.

These 4 exercises only need a theraband to complete, with around 15-20 repetitions of each exercise

1. Lat pulls
2. Rotator cuff activations
3. Band pull aparts
4. Banded overhead press

Good luck to everyone racing!

TOP 3 Busso 100 prep tips: your nutrition is just as important as your training.

1️⃣ Don’t try anything new on race day: practice your carb and hydration plan in training and think through the logistics now.

2️⃣ Have all your race nutrition prepped and packed so you’re not fighting every other triathlete through Coles, Woolies and the bike shops.

3️⃣ Have a backup plan if things go sideways: cramp, heat, nausea, dropped gel or bottle, so one hiccup doesn’t ruin your race (adaptability is an important skill to strengthen in these longer events!)

Good Luck and Have fun!
