BetterMe Unveils Diabetes-Friendly Workout Programme in Collaboration with Diabetes UK
BetterMe, a prominent global health and wellness platform, has launched a specialised diabetes-friendly workout programme within its BetterMe: Health Coaching app. This initiative coincides with Diabetes Alert Day and has been reviewed by Diabetes UK, the leading charity for individuals living with diabetes in the UK. The programme aims to address the challenges faced by over 12 million people in the UK who are living with or at risk of diabetes, where exercise can often seem intimidating due to the complexities of managing blood sugar levels.
Programme Features and Benefits
The new programme includes 28 beginner-friendly sessions designed to help people build confidence with movement. These workouts combine strength and cardio exercises, focusing on enhancing strength, improving cardiovascular fitness, and supporting glucose management through safe and accessible activities. Additionally, the programme incorporates gentle recovery sessions, such as stretching and myofascial release, to aid muscle recovery and maintain mobility for users.
Expert Support and Holistic Approach
James Beeby, director of engagement and fundraising at Diabetes UK, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating: "We're delighted to support this new diabetes-friendly workout programme. We know that physical activity is an important part of managing diabetes, but many people living with the condition face additional barriers to feeling confident in movement. By combining the workout programme with BetterMe's holistic approach to wellness, people can feel safe and informed as they take steps to improve their overall health and wellbeing."
Proceeds from new sign-ups to the programme will support Diabetes UK, furthering their mission to assist those affected by diabetes. BetterMe continues to lead in personalised wellness solutions, offering over 4,000 workouts and more than 20 meal plans with hundreds of recipes.
Availability and Global Reach
The diabetes-friendly collection of workouts is now available globally within the BetterMe: Health Coaching app, accessible on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. This launch represents a significant step in making fitness more inclusive and supportive for individuals managing diabetes, promoting a healthier lifestyle through tailored exercise routines.
