We all have days when we are easily tempted to skip our workout. Your partner and you can be strong for each other and strengthen your collective resolve. It also helps if you and your partner have similar goals so that you can exercise at the same level. A training partner who is aware of your diabetes can also keep your exercise sessions safer for you. Doing the same thing every time you exercise can get boring.
Many people alternate exercises daily.
It's called cross-training. This is a method in which you alternate between forms of exercise to prevent putting a specific strain on a particular part of the body day after day. In other words, you might ride a bicycle one day, walk the next, and swim another day. It not only gives you variety in your routine but reduces the risk of injury by letting your body rest and repair between sessions using the same muscles. Setting specific goals for yourself and then evaluating how you are doing with your goals is a great way to keep on track.
