Standing Marches
Standing marches are a simple yet highly effective exercise. The high steps contribute to core strengthening and postural stabilization, providing subtle movements throughout the spinal cord.

Step 1: Start in a standing position with your arms by your sides.
Step 2: March in place, lifting your knees as high as possible while involving your arms in the movement. Move slowly, taking 1 to 2 seconds to complete each step.
Step 3: Modify the speed and sets as needed. March for two minutes per set, and aim for three sets.

Performing this exercise daily can help you manage diabetes while maintaining strength and endurance.
