LPT: If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, hesitate to exercise, or skip workouts due to being too busy - Do Soleus Pushups
Performing soleus pushups, a move that activates the soleus muscle in your calf, can boost your metabolism for hours, lower your blood sugar, and curb your risk for type 2 diabetes suggests new research.
The research, from Mark Hamilton, a professor of Health and Human Performance at the University of Houston, suggests soleus pushups beat out exercise, weight loss, and intermittent fasting for improving blood sugar regulation.
The soleus muscle, which is located in the lower leg, is the primary muscle you use for standing and walking, Hamilton explains in a University of Houston video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaK6TThRMdE
