We'll look at diabetics 00:01:47.09\00:01:49.41 today, there are 16 million cases out 00:01:49.44\00:01:51.23 there in our country half of them don't even know it. 00:01:51.26\00:01:54.69 There are 625,000 new cases diagnosed every year. 00:01:54.72\00:01:58.32 And when somebody is diabetic their life is going 00:01:58.35\00:02:00.82 to be shortened about 5 to 10 percent, 00:02:00.85\00:02:02.44 oh excuse me 5-10 years and also there are chances 00:02:02.47\00:02:05.94 of other diseases that are going to go up drastically. 00:02:05.97\00:02:08.18 And not to mention all the amputations 00:02:08.21\00:02:10.85 that are done and so many other problems that it causes. 00:02:10.88\00:02:13.29 But there is good news, we can really reverse diabetes 00:02:13.32\00:02:16.56 in fact its one of the more reversible diseases out 00:02:16.59\00:02:19.02 there. We're gonna talk about that little more 00:02:19.05\00:02:20.89 as we get start on our exercise program. 00:02:20.92\00:02:22.43 Helping me out today will be my son Rick and also Will, 00:02:22.46\00:02:26.33 both students of the Mountain State leadership Academy. 00:02:26.36\00:02:28.42 Often times people with diabetes 00:02:30.01\00:02:32.84 cannot get around very well. 00:02:32.87\00:02:34.34 So we're gonna sit down in chairs 00:02:34.37\00:02:36.28 and even in a chair we can get an excellent workout. 00:02:37.71\00:02:40.12 We're going to start by bringing the arms up 00:02:40.15\00:02:42.53 and squeeze together and out and together and out. 00:02:42.56\00:02:47.96 This is basically a warm up for us. 00:02:47.99\00:02:50.70 Just getting some movement going and let's do 10 more. 00:02:50.73\00:02:56.39 And 2, and 3, and 4, and 5, 5 more. 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 00:02:58.31\00:03:17.60 Alright lets squeeze your hands together in the middle, 00:03:17.63\00:03:20.92 lets turn them out pushing all the way out 00:03:20.95\00:03:24.10 back under control, all the way out. 00:03:24.13\00:03:27.73 Alright, keep going, we find our diabetics 00:03:27.76\00:03:32.52 the more they stimulate their muscles 00:03:32.55\00:03:34.72 the more they drive glucose into the cells. 00:03:34.75\00:03:38.65 Mainly the problem with diabetes 00:03:38.68\00:03:40.58 especially the type 2 diabetics 00:03:40.61\00:03:43.82 and that's the one that's called none insulin dependent 00:03:43.85\00:03:47.24 or what has been often known as 00:03:47.27\00:03:49.32 adult onset diabetes because it comes 00:03:49.35\00:03:51.26 mostly with people that are adults. 00:03:51.29\00:03:54.34 We find that they still have insulin 00:03:54.37\00:03:58.08 but their cells are not receptive to it anymore. 00:03:58.11\00:04:01.44 So by exercising we reestablish that connection. 00:04:02.06\00:04:06.07 Alright lets push down now and up 00:04:06.10\00:04:10.06 and actually we find the facts 00:04:13.03\00:04:15.16 are much more of a culprit 00:04:15.19\00:04:17.41 when it comes to diabetes than sugar is, 00:04:17.44\00:04:19.62 even though diabetes has that reputation 00:04:19.65\00:04:24.09 of being sugar diabetes. 00:04:24.12\00:04:25.39 And then let's go 5 more, 00:04:30.09\00:04:32.05 keep the hands pressed together. 00:04:32.08\00:04:36.23 Just bring it up top, lean back a little bit, 00:04:41.77\00:04:44.75 press up and down, up and down, 00:04:44.78\00:04:49.50 up and down, up down and up, good, 00:04:49.78\00:04:56.58 keep going. Let's go 10 more. 00:04:56.61\00:05:01.59 You should get a lot of air as you're doing this, 00:05:02.55\00:05:04.14 you get through the nose out through the mouth 00:05:04.17\00:05:07.38 and three more. 00:05:10.59\00:05:11.64 And last one coming up and squeeze it hard 00:05:16.12\00:05:19.20 squeeze, squeeze it, squeeze it hard, 10 more seconds 00:05:19.23\00:05:24.08 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Good. 00:05:24.11\00:05:33.61 Shake it out. Put your hands behind your head 00:05:33.64\00:05:38.81 and stretch back, hold it for 10 more 00:05:39.92\00:05:47.16 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 00:05:47.19\00:05:57.33 Now bend forward, pull your shoulder apart, 00:05:57.36\00:06:00.06 stretch your upper back. 00:06:00.09\00:06:02.04 Hold for 10 more, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 00:06:06.71\00:06:18.51 Alright.

Switch, 25 of these. 00:06:54.72\00:07:16.62 I found that nothing derives glucose 00:07:16.65\00:07:20.98 into the cells like weights. 00:07:21.11\00:07:22.82 Even though aerobics are also excellent 00:07:22.85\00:07:25.72 for lowering blood sugar. 00:07:25.75\00:07:27.30 It doesn't have the same energy glucose demand 00:07:27.33\00:07:30.44 that weights do, actually aerobics 00:07:30.47\00:07:33.29 will start giving you the fat metabolism which is great, 00:07:33.32\00:07:35.59 you want that as well. 00:07:35.62\00:07:36.62 But the training of the muscles would drive 00:07:36.65\00:07:41.91 glucose in to the cell because it's such a great 00:07:41.94\00:07:43.99 glucose demand. 00:07:44.02\00:07:44.99 I think we have 10 more. 00:07:47.85\00:07:49.05 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 00:07:49.08\00:08:06.99 Let's put the arm up over the head. 00:08:07.02\00:08:08.38 Let's pull down and up and down, 00:08:09.36\00:08:13.65 up and down, up and down, good. 00:08:14.39\00:08:20.39 Keep going and down, up and down, 00:08:20.42\00:08:25.87 up and down, 10 more times. 00:08:25.90\00:08:29.38 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, two more 9 and 10. 00:08:30.58\00:08:57.71 Okay, reach up over the head, grab a hold of your elbow 00:08:57.74\00:08:59.72 and pull.
