Habit number 10: Soleus Push-ups

Sitting all day? Here’s one move for your calves and your blood sugar levels.

Place your feet on the floor [at approximately 90 degrees]. Raise your heels to the maximum range of motion while the toes are still in contact with the ground. Once you feel a stretch in the soleus region of the calf muscle, lower it to the ground. Repeat the process.

These are called soleus push-ups. Micro movements that activate the soleus muscle to burn blood sugar… even while sitting. The soleus is a calf muscle whose major action is flexion of the ankle joint, particularly when the leg is bent at the knee, thereby extending the foot downward.

Soleus push-ups can:
Boost metabolism
Burn glucose & fats
Lower insulin levels

Unlike most muscles, the soleus uses blood glucose and not stored energy, making it ideal for post-meal sugar dips.

Here’s how you can start practicing it.

Start with:

4 sets of 50 reps after your main meals. Gradually increase to 6–8 sets

Even if you are too busy to move, you can start with a few reps of soleus pushups to take control of your blood sugar.

Remember. This exercise should only be an add-on to your other workouts or fitness routines for managing diabetes. Soleus push-ups should not be the only means of lowering your blood sugar levels.

Reversing diabetes is a long-term goal.
