Didn’t the study say 10 body squats OR 3 minutes of walking helped improve blood sugar control. I am glad I read the longer article because I have knee problems, so squats are out but I can do a 3 minute walk every 45 minutes.

Squats are not an option for me due to my bad knees. I will stick to walking.

Is it weird that I’d rather just walk? I’d rather walk for an hour.

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy—it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.
A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.
In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.
These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.
This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health. Frequent, intentional movement throughout the day—what my friend Dr. Rhonda Patrick calls “exercise snacks”—can be a powerful tool to improve blood sugar control, especially for those of us with sedentary jobs.
How will you fit this into your day?
