For example I perform 1. Chest/Back/Calves , 2 Biceps/Triceps/Midsection, 3 Rotors/Shoulders/Trapezius, 4 Legs/Forearms, 1-2 days cardio then repeat the next week. </p> <p>I usually try and schedule my cardio workouts, skip rope, exercycle, treadmill, cardio glyde, stair climber, x-cross country skiing, in-line skating, jog/walk/run, etc. 10-12 hrs. opposite my weight lifting routines. This usually helps reduce the lactic acid buildup between and after workouts. </p> <p>I have to use a lot of supplements to get trhough each workout successfully or else it&#39;s crash and burn time, LOL. No glucose, no muscle glycogen, no can continue, ooops. I use a lot of caffeine based on mg/kg. of body weight to help me recover cognitively if I have a low blood glucose and to help with my respiratory sucking wind, needs. </p> <p>If there are others out there who have valuable input, please free to give hints, tips, and techniques that have proven results. I&#39;ll try and post a list of resources I am using, FYI if this is ok. </p> <p>I try to maintain my physical body based on scripture. The lesson and advice is not new. I also combine my biblical studies with my workouts using mp3 players so I can share the meat and potatoes of scripture. </p> http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/topic/vitamins-and-supplements-for-pwd#post-38 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:44:13 +0000 Florian 38@http://diabetes-exercise.org/forum/ <p>Hi DESA Members,</p> <p>I have been reading about vitamins and supplements that are recommended for people with diabetes. I would like to ask if there are any DESA members here who are taking certain vitamins and supplements every day and what are the benefits that you see in the way you feel, blood sugar control, or in the performance of the exercise/sport that you do to stay healthy and fit.</p> <p>I take a multi vitamin, super B complex, vitamin D, alpha lipoic acid, magnesium, chromium picolinate, krill oil, and glucosamine chondroitin MSM. There are a few others that are recommended for active people with diabetes but I&#39;m trying to leave some room for breakfast,lunch, and dinner :) Are you taking any that I am not? Why?</p> <p>I do 60 minutes of weight resistance training and 30 minutes of cardio twice a week for all the benefits that these exercises provide and in addition I am trying to add a few pounds of lean muscle. Any tips or suggestions on how to increase calories to gain some healthy weight and control blood sugar at the same time would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Florian<br /> T1, dx 1967<br /> Animas PING + Novolog </p>
