Manage insulin resistance with a 15-minute standing strength routine designed for your metabolic health.
This session helps you improve metabolic health without ever needing a yoga mat or floor access. We use dumbbell exercises like overhead presses and lunges in a continuous flow. Because there are no repeated movements, the session stays engaging and efficient, perfect for busy schedules.
Specifically built for those in midlife or menopause, this standing strength training approach supports your body's ability to process glucose. By keeping your heart rate elevated and muscles active, you get a complete workout in just 15 minutes. This insulin resistance workout fits seamlessly into any daily routine, prioritising bone density and functional strength.
