This episode of Fitness with FreeStyle Diabetes features Vanessa Haydock, Diabetes Health Coach and Personal Trainer, who shares her journey and past health complications as someone with Type 1 diabetes. She also demonstrates the simple steps beginners, like her client Sarah, can take to incorporate squats and planks into exercise routines. Squats are good for building lower body and glute strength, which can help with other areas such as taking pressure off the lower back. Planks will help to build strength, posture, and flexibility and can improve your overall fitness.
