(Diabetes exercise) Aerobic exercise is difficult. Is it okay to only do strength training?

Most people tend to prefer resistance strength training over aerobic exercises that make them short of breath and difficult.

However, the benefits of aerobic exercise and strength training are different, and since these effects are complementary to each other, it is not advisable to perform exercise using only one of them. You should do both!

Regular and consistent aerobic exercise helps with weight management and increases the concentration of glucose transporters in cell tissues and muscle glycogen synthase enzymes. It also improves cardiorespiratory fitness, maximum oxygen uptake, and skeletal muscle capillary density.

Strength training improves skeletal muscle mass and strength, increases insulin sensitivity, and has significant benefits for blood sugar regulation. Combining aerobic exercise with strength training creates a synergistic effect, further enhancing the ability of skeletal muscles to absorb glucose.

If you combine aerobic exercise and strength training

It is said that the muscle's ability to absorb glucose increases.

Cardio is more comfortable than strength training for me..

It's better to do both rather than leaning to one side.
