Many patients find success with a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise.   Aerobic exercise can help improve cardiovascular health and decrease body fat, which are two key components of metabolic syndrome. Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and dancing.    Resistance exercise, such as weightlifting, can help increase muscle mass and improve insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.    Combining both types of exercise can be highly beneficial for individuals with metabolic syndrome. It is always recommended to consult with your healthcare professional before starting a new exercise regimen.
