The "I hate to Exercise" Book

Is what i am going to be reading and sharing here on the blog.
I know that it has been a while since my last post, but as usual life happens and when that does the blog gets pushed aside.
The young lady at Kaiser suggested this as a good read for me, as i hate to exercise and i have diabetes, so lets see if i can learn some new tricks and lose some weight doing it :)

The book is called The "I hate to Exercise" Book for people with diabetes 2nd edition by charlotte Hayes, MMSc, MS, RD CDE

The explanation exceprt from the book from the Diabetes network (http://www.diabetesnet.com/dmall/product_info.php?products_id=271) is as follows:
Turn everyday home activities into a low-impact fitness plan you'll love
If you're like most people, you probably don't get much exercise, have a hard time sticking with an exercise plan, or find it difficult to perform some of the exercises that health professionals recommend. Fortunately, the key to good diabetes self-care is not fancy exercise equipment, an expensive membership to a gym, or a rigid exercise schedule. The key is simple: stay active by making the most of the activities you already do.
In this revised and expanded second edition, author Charlotte Hayes offers even more easy ways to build activity and exercise into your daily routine. With new exercises, more tips, and an all-new chapter on walking your way to improved diabetes management, this second edition of The "I Hate to Exercise" Book for People with Diabetes is better than ever!
Inside you'll learn how to:
Ease your way into more physical activity
Build an active lifestyle based on your daily routine
Create a fun, low-impact walking program
Set realistic goals and chart your progress
Much more
Don't be intimidated by the difficulty of a structured exercise routine. You'll find that just a little exercise can make a big difference!
