High-Intensity Cardio Workout May Lower Blood Sugar Levels Better Than Lower Intensity Exercise.

reports that for the study, researchers “assigned 217 obese men and women, average age 51, to one of four groups: high amount, high-intensity exercise; high amount, low-intensity exercise; low amount, low-intensity exercise, or no exercise program at all.” Study participants “in exercise programs worked out five days a week for 24 weeks. None were put on a diet.” The study found that even though everyone who exercised “lost weight and dropped belly fat, only the group doing higher intensity workouts had improvements in glucose measurements at the end of the study.” http://time.com/3728836/workout-intensity/
