This Is How to Stay Motivated to Exercise

Check your blood sugar before and after exercise

This shows you how much exercise helps to improve blood sugar control. “When you see how your body reacts to different types of exercises and the length and intensity of your workout, it can motivate you to stick with what works,” Weisenberger says.

Also, be sure to keep glucose tablets or juice boxes in your gym bag or locker so that you can address an episode of low blood sugar, should it happen while exercising — and stop if you feel shaky or anxious.
