TCOYD’s resident fitness expert Michelle Day has a tip to keep your diabetes in check and your body fit.

Set a manageable goal of walking a minimum of 20 minutes a day. Place a pair of good walking shoes and comfortable socks by your front door. Slip them on 20 minutes before you normally leave the house and go for a walk around your neighborhood. If you missed your morning walk then put your walking shoes on as soon as you return home and head right back out that door for a glorious walk. Do this 5 times a week for one month and I guarantee by the second month you will be thanking yourself for turning this goal into a healthy habit.
