Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy—it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.
A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.
In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.
These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.
