See www.diabetes.org for the correct information.
Briefly:
Type I Diabetes-The body produces no insulin (hormone required to break down sugar). This generally affects children.
Type II Diabetes-The body becomes insulin "resistant". Commonly associated with obesity.
On another surfing exercise type note try doing "supermans". This is another core (by core I refer to your body's natural "weight belt" the transverse abdominus) movement that is really easy to perform:
Lie flat on belly (prop a pillow under belly if suffering from LBP)
Contract TVA (keep breathing) and raise L arm & R leg (only until the thigh and arm are perpendicular to the floor)
Hold 5 seconds...
Release and switch to R arm and L leg
Repeat until tired or bored (I hate it when people ask me for a number of reps...do as many as you can!)
For increased challenge change start position to hands and knees.
For more challenge use a fitball.
One of the biggest difficulties in prescribing and designing a program for people is insuring that it is not boring. Your personal trainer should always ask what you DON'T like to do first! The PT should also NEVER try to shove you into his/her idea of a perfect program (those that do are probably not worth your money and probably just read the latest variation in M&F). I personally try different workouts, routines and even some supplements (not often though...some of those supplements make urine turn the strangest colors
ut: ) and work with the client to make a workout that is fun and change it up on a regular basis. And avoid the screamers...man I hate that...it's not motivation at all. Rehab I handle differently as the object there is to heal the injury..rebuild muscle endurance..then strength...proprioception..and finally actual objective use (whether it's track, scuba, or simply brushing your hair...if you have ever suffered from shoulder encapsulitis you will know what I mean!).
Whoops..did not mean to hop on a soapbox here. Hope it helps. I don't have much else to do at the moment so you'll have to excuse the ramble
