A recent study from Louisiana found that patients with Type-2 Diabetes who did resistance training in addition to cardiovascular exercises had a significant reduction in their average blood sugar numbers versus those who were sedentary.  It also looks like the combination of these two activities also provide better results than only doing cardiovascular exercises.

In addition to lowering blood sugar, combining resistance training and cardiovascular exercises can improve cardiovascular risk factors as well including blood pressure and weight.

Now go run!
