Move for Life:
The Transformative Power of Low-Intensity Exercise for Diabetes Management

Are you ready to experience a game-changing approach to diabetes management? Michael Hofer, Ph.D., brings over 40 years of experience living with type 1 diabetes into Move for Life: The Transformative Power of Low-Intensity Exercise for Diabetes Management. This guide redefines how we think about fitness and well-being for individuals with diabetes.

In this book, you’ll discover the incredible benefits of Low-Intensity Steady-State (LISS) exercise—a gentle yet highly effective approach to movement that can be done by anyone at any fitness level. With LISS, you don’t need to run marathons or endure grueling workouts to transform your health. Simple, steady activities like walking, cycling, or gardening can create life-changing results.

Here’s what Move for Life can help you achieve:

  • Stabilized Blood Sugar: Understand how steady movement improves glucose absorption and enhances insulin sensitivity, making diabetes management easier.

  • Reduced Stress & Boosted Mood: Learn how LISS helps lower cortisol levels while releasing endorphins, breaking the cycle of stress-induced blood sugar spikes.

  • Improved Heart Health & Energy: Protect your cardiovascular system and enjoy sustainable energy—all without the exhaustion associated with high-intensity workouts.

  • Accessible and Sustainable Fitness: No gym? No problem! LISS is adaptable to any lifestyle, making it easy to integrate into your daily routine.

This book goes beyond exercise—it’s a complete roadmap for improving physical and emotional health while managing diabetes. Michael shares practical strategies, inspiring personal stories, and actionable tips to help you overcome common challenges, build a routine you love, and transform your relationship with your health.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, have been managing diabetes for years, or are simply looking for a refreshing and empowering approach, Move for Life will inspire you to take charge of your well-being. This isn’t just a guide to movement; it’s an invitation to reclaim joy, hope, and vitality in your life.

Why Movement is Medicine

At its core, Move for Life emphasizes that movement is not about perfection or pushing limits. It’s about progress, self-care, and joy. Even 15 minutes of walking a day can lead to profound improvements in your blood sugar levels, energy, and overall health. The secret is starting where you are and committing to small, sustainable steps that build over time.

Michael Hofer, who has thrived with type 1 diabetes for over four decades, shares his tried-and-true methods that combine exercise, mindfulness, and self-compassion to create a balanced and vibrant life.
