If you can do the sort of higher intense strength training that we were talking about, then please do it. But if this is like some 80-year-old grandma who just likes walking around with her girlfriends, just walk around with your girlfriends. Keep doing that habit. Whatever exercise you can do and you're going to do, then just do it. But there is something to be said for timing it where perhaps you can do your exercise session, if it is a walk around the block a few times with the gals, do that after your biggest meal. where if you just do 10 to 15 minutes of physical activity after your biggest glucose spiking meal, you will blunt that glucose excursion by half if not even better.
