Prediabetes Exercise Tips
Posted 01/19/2021
Everyone needs a push, a pat on the back, a helping hand sometimes. A little encouragement goes a long way when you're making big changes. As a participant in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, you will take 25 classes over the course of a year surrounded by a group of supportive people with common goals who care about your well-being.
To help reduce your risk for diabetes, your goal in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is to reduce your body weight by 7% and increase your physical activity by at least 150 minutes per week within the first half of the program.
