Insulin sensitivity describes how well your body's cells respond to insulin, a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels by moving excess glucose out of your bloodstream and into your cells. Exercise also lowers blood sugar, and it does it with little or no help from insulin, making exercise one of the most important things you can do to improve insulin sensitivity. In this video, I share four scientifically supported ways to exercise for a better insulin response (and it doesn’t matter if you are short on time).
