This Simple Sitting Exercise Lowers Blood Sugar and Burns Fat, Study Says

A recent study published in the journal iScience suggests that this particular leg exercise improves blood sugar regulation better than traditional methods. This includes weight loss, diet, and the 30-minutes of low- to moderate-intensity daily exercise recommended for lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hamilton calls the metabolism-boosting technique the "soleus pushup," but don't expect to break a sweat while doing it. You actually perform this "pushup" while sitting. And that's the beauty of the exercise! Americans spend 10 hours a day sitting down on average, according to the University of Houston, while they may spend only a small fraction of their waking hours being physically active.
