Recent research highlights that short bursts of physical activity, such as air squats, are highly effective at regulating blood sugar levels compared to prolonged sitting or even traditional walking. Hereโs a summary of the findings:
Squats vs. Walking for Blood Sugar Control
๐น A study comparing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes to a 30-minute walk found that squats led to a 21% reduction in blood sugar spikes, nearly double the benefit of the single walk.
๐น Both frequent squatting and 3-minute walking breaks outperformed uninterrupted sitting, but squats had a slightly stronger effect due to greater muscle activation.
