A Seated Exercise To Reduce Glucose Up To 52%
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 дек 2022
- In this video we look at a simple exercise which reduces blood glucose by up to 52%. The exercise was described in a recent paper by University of Houston and works because of some of the special properties of a muscle in the calf called the soleus.

How long after a meal should you start the exercise? Do you wait 30 minutes after a meal ? How long do you do the exercise for ?
Hi, If this is True, It would mean that Drummers would have very Low Glucose Sugar / HypoGlycemia, wouldn't ?
I am just Asking, I am not making jokes. 🤔😇
@@romb1818 drummers use different muscles in the front of leg i believe-
@@Nazareth434 they use all legs
@@raone8134 The study say 4 hours, so its nothing here, sorry. seven minuts Hits before breakfast and before dinner, will boost you buring.
That’s interesting . Thanks for posting Richard . 2 ancient chinese methods to improve glucose
1 ) walk 100 steps after each meal
2 in a standing position , roll foot on to toes and then back on to heals in a continues slow movement . Ie forwards then backwards this simple exercise will test your balance as well Best of health everybody
Hi Louis, thanks for sharing. I had not heard of the second approach before.
@@ModernHealthspan No doubt , not vey well known it’s from a Taoist method of rejuvenation. To clarify a little bit when rolling forward on to toes the rest of foot is off the ground and same with rolling back on to heels one really feels the stretch even more and one’s balance is tested as well 😃😎
This method uses the same muscles Richard talked about 👍🏻
@@susanneschauf7417 No, not really. Standing heel raises will always bias the gastrocnemius because the knee is straight. Bending the knees to 90 degrees activates the soleus
@@kathynicholson103 I was about to share this. Soleus hardly gets employed if the knees are straight. Bend the knees, as in sitting, and the gastroc is taken out of the equation. Only the soleus works, since it doesn’t cross the knee joint like the gastroc does. I also believe the posterior tibialus is called into service doing this as well, but I’m sure the Solius is the main player.
Folks the simple bottom line is this: Exercise = insulin sensitivity (glucose uptake). Lack of exercise = insulin resistance (little glucose uptake). So as you age, get out and exercise more and do not be sedentary (the enemy of health). Do a brisk walk after every meal for 10-15 minutes and if you have a treadmill, that equates to an incline of 7 and a speed of 3-3.3. Just do it and you'll reap the rewards - and once you're out, you'll likely go longer than 10-15 mins. Make it a game-changing 2023!
Actually from What the inventor of this move said many other exercises can increase insulin resistance and your bodies tendency to hold onto weight in the long term even if there’s some weight loss in the short.
The podcast episode he did he mentioned that.
Also generally other exercises have fraction of the effect.
I know it’s considered kind of a moral imperative to be active and not be lazy but effectiveness wise I don’t know if anynting works at this level and some particularly more intensive activities and exercises may actually worsen some things for people who alreayd have insulin resistance and nutrient deficiency.
I mean walking is probably fine and good but if you’re limited on time and have severe health condition with this you may want to focus on this before the walking or factor a solid amount of it in. Though walking is good for other things also and is a solid bet as long as it’s not super repetitive running on a high impact thing as some can’t really handle that well.
And also from what I’ve heard from the inventor walking has a different effect than this more passive form of muscle activation. It does have benefits of course but this I think dramatically increases them.
Not anyone can go for a walk after meal, it's amazing simple exercise especially for elderly, good job Richard!
Shows or it least I would guess that other soleus exercises might help blood sugar as well. Ti chi is low impact and good for proprioception. Seems like it could have additional benefits.
If you’re not mobile, true. If you are there’s walking in place.
problem is that you have to do this for 4 hours steady with no breaks to get the benefits that the study produced-
You are the master of gleaning out the relative and key information from these scientific studies. My preferred blood glucose control remains using fibre to blunt the spike and post prandial exercise courtesy of my dog needing her walk…but when I take Mom to church this morning I shall be soleus pumping whilst praising God.
I wonder if multitasking is advisable here.
Hi Scott, thanks for sharing and your kind comments. I would agree that a walk with your dog is an overall better way of reducing blood sugar after a meal.

I am in a wheelchair and even I can do this - thank you so much!
Great video Richard! Love the graphs. Much more understandable.
Hi Chad, thanks!
I saw a similar regiment described on NHK, a Japan's public broadcaster, which used the quadriceps muscle rather the soleus. Apparently, by doing regular crouching motions, the muscle will convert from white fibers to so-called "peach-colored" fibers which both consume sugar and burn fat. This has the effect of markedly reducing blood sugar.
Wow! I knew I was into something. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with diabetes. I tried to keep BG under control with diet and exercise but didn’t see much improvement. So I started doing these (sitting and standing, whenever I was just waiting around basically) to exhaustion several times a day. Saw a reduction in my BG numbers immediately. Of course, I thought it was a fluke. But I had been seeing my lowest numbers ever by doing those- 100s-110s! I’m on meds now and it’s barely working, and I’m newly pregnant now to boot. Going to start these again and see if it helps my crazy fluctuating numbers.
Avoid carbohydrates and you will reverse your diabetes. Carbohydrates are not human food.
See Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Ken Berry.
I wonder whether you know dr Neal Barnard who is a plant based doctor and have written many books on food as Medicine and also how to reverse diabetes. 🎶🍀🎵💚
@@susanneschauf7417 wtf kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Good luck and I hope you get better! Did you notice any increased calf development and muscularity?
I am not buying what he is selling. It is not based on anything that I have fond to be factual. If you want to lower your blood sugar stop eating so much and especially junk food. Too hard? That's why you fall for crap like this. You want an easy way...Hahah there is no easy way
The SPU exercise may be most important within the first 2 hrs after eating to flatten the spike. SPU is also WALKING. Walking may reduce blood sugar better than running.
I don’t actually think walking is the same according to the inventor. It does help and has benefits but this is I think from what he said a very different thing how the muscles are activated.
Walking uses different muscle in the calf 😊
Thank you Richard. This is a good add to my knowledge.
Fantastic health information! 😊
Thank you very much, Richard
Stay on top of your GC folks as elevated blood sugar,long term,is very dangerous to your overall health.I had diabetic pressure point ulcers on both my feet. My right foot had an on/off open sore for over 8 years and this past March,it became infected.By the time I saw a doctor,I had developed sepsis.I had my right great toe and part of my foot removed in an emergency surgery,that saved my life.I still have an open ulcer on my left foot,that I am to have surgery to take pressure off that pressure point to see if the ulcer will heal.I say all this not as a pity party but to say,if you can,in any way,prevent what I am dealing with,I advise you do anything and everything you can to prevent it from occurring.I am a type 2 diabetic,65+ now,who developed glucose intolerance in my early 40's. I was full blown diabetic by 45. Lose weight,and get exercise as much as possible,BEFORE your glucose intolerance begins.I lost over 100 pounds AFTER I became diabetic and it helped but the damage was done by that time.PLEASE live healthy,for yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you. That was amazingly useful!
Hi Thanks!
This is an excellent idea, thank you for your informative channel!
Hi Jose, thank you!
So useful, I'm doing it immediately after dinner, feel good! Thank you Richard!

Great info! I’m sharing this! Thanks!
Fascinating- I love information of this type.
Fascinating.
Thank you!
@modernhealthplan
There’s a guy with a RUclips Channel called “Insulin Resistant 1”. All his videos consist of him eating various foods, and a couple hours later he shows people how much his blood sugar spikes. He does this by using a CGM. Conversely, he also does vids where he eats a high sugar or high carb food, but immediately does a physical activity to show how said activity reduces the sugar spike. You should reach out to him and see if he’d be willing to use his CGM to test your soleus exercise.
Thanks for your work to make the experimental method and results easily accessible. The 15 participants in experiment 2 did not have elevated blood sugar ("They were also excluded if they had fasting glucose >125 mg/dL or HbA1c >6.4% (the thresholds for Type 2 diabetes), had physician-diagnosed diabetes, or took glucoregulatory medications other than metformin"). The 10 participants in the experiment were "somewhat unfit/untrained individuals". The Whatsup spreaders are super-exaggerating the claims to misinform. Grateful if someone can peer-review externally.
I have type 1 diabetes and I noticed, that after I swapped the 172.5mm long crank arms on my bicycle to 165mm long crank arms. My blood sugars is higher when bicycling. Same speed same bike but I don't get hypoglycemia so easily. Before I easily got hypoglycemia when cycling. Also now I can ride a lot longer and I don't need to rest after or midway of steeper climbs. I tried to figure out the cause by my own a while and I thought it must have something to do with the calf muscles and how they use glucose.. I think this study confirm it. Because if the bicycle has too long cranks the leg compensates it by extending it at bottom position, with similar movement to soleus push up.
Just great information. Will do it as much as I can remember to do it.
Hi Elliott, thanks for your comment!
Thank you finally. All my life culturally and societally people have been condemning this movement and shaming kids and young adults as is they were shaking away their fortune…but now we have scientific proof to back all of them off!
Now I can tell my parents to shut it when they try to stop me from shaking my legs!😂
My elders frown upon this. To them, it's a sign of being a horny individual. 😅
@D R This is what I am thinking as well.
Brilliant. What other muscle groups are primarily glucose burning?
Would have been nice to see a demonstration or video of the exercise

Great lnformation Sir 👍 thank u so much for yr sound advise!! I will teach my family to do this exercise as well :) God Bless u Sir 🥰♥️♥️♥️✝️
Wow
This may be the best help I can offer my roommate, who is type1 diabetic and currently wheelchair bound while her heel wounds heal.
These foot lifts are doable for her because she doesn't have to put pressure on the heels.
The past two evenings, she has eaten high carb pasta and has had ridiculous blood sugar readings shortly afterward.
I am really thrilled to show her this video and to see how this can help her better control her blood sugar.
A million thanks!!!
Your roommate needs to work on lowering her carbs and monitoring her nutrition better. Type1 is nothing to play around with as there isn’t much room for high carb intake-it could cause comas. Please tell her to be careful. She should know she is lucky to have a caring roomie!
Instead of high carbs… a Vitamix for filling high fiber meals, rich avocado-nut salads ..
@@Acquisition1913well fiber can cause some issues if your digestion sucks.
Thanks for this info Richard.
Hey Ron, thanks, I hope that you found it helpful.
Great stuff, Richard! Thank you & best wishes for the New Year. I would simply ask whether the blood glucose-hungry soleus is unique, or whether there are other muscles like it. More specifically, I wonder whether the tibialis anterior & posterior, also involved in standing, are of this kind, & if so, whether this exercise could be meaningfully improved by the flexion or raising of the foot at the end of each soleus flexion rep. Or perhaps, this would be of no increment benefit in regulating post-prandial blood glucose spikes, & the exercise suggested is much better. Regards, G.M. o/
Great information thank you so much
Hi Thanks, I am glad you found it helpful!
Fascinating - thanks! I'm doing it now...
Hi Ken, Thanks for your comment. I hope that it is working for you!
My son has type 1 diabetes and on occasions he had his insulin a little late to match his dinner. The FASTEST way to get that insulin to circulate and lower glucose was to jump for 5 minutes on a mini-trampoline. We could watch it in real time on a CGM.
Hi Merton, thanks for sharing. That sounds like a great way to get insulin down!
Fascinating that the soleus should have this energy-source oddity; I wonder if there has been a cross-species evolutionary biology type analysis done to ferret out why this is obtains. Thanks so much for digging this very practical bit of science out of the literature and for making it so understandable; I have two type-II diabetic friends who will be very keen to hear about this. Great work!
My guess is to reduce mass around the shank.
The weight on your lower leg moves the most in gait and so has an outsized negative impact on efficiency.
This is partly why animaks have such long tendons that move the foot and ankle. The muscles bellies are then high on the leg where they have a shorter moment arm.
@@teatowel11 Good analysis! Thanks.
It only makes sense that the soleus is glucose dependant and not glycogen or ATP. If the soleus was glycogen dependant, we would run out of steam very quickly during the day.
Thanks Richard. Seems like a nice way to control the glucose spike.
Hi Ankur, thanks, good to see you!
Amazing that this was put out 10 days ago. I learned about this months ago from Dr. Berry. He put out a video
great work
I used to jiggle my knees up and down while working at my desk until one of my office mates asked me to stop, as they found the motion out of the corner of their eye distracting. I started gaining weight after this, but never put two and two together.
Hi Scott, thanks for sharing. Now you can go back to doing it again and explain why!
Lol !!!! Sorry but thats hiliarious
Very interesting results. We need a parallel study regarding blood return.
Agreed. But these RUclips videos usually use poor scientific trials and methodology studies to “derive” a result.
The study involving soleus push-ups involved doing it for 4-1/2 hours. How do you incorporate these pushups in a meaningful effective way?
This is excellent as so many of us are tied to desks and automobile seats- and that for too long. I would like to see more research on this topic so that us sedentary Boomers can exploit the psy-ence! Happy new year!
Thank you ❤
Is doing this for 4 hours a day realistic?
Going for walk post meal has taken me from 130 down into the 80's or even 70's shortly after.
How long do you walk? I mean the duration of your walk?
@@phoenixpersonified3484 30-60 min. I sometimes gague it by my glucose meter. Longer if it needs to come down more. Usually begine walking 15-30 min post meal.
@@4himsanctified Thank you for your reply 😊🙏🙏🙏. I will restart my routine. I was walking one hour twice daily with OMAD but didn't notice any reduction in my weight(I think I have hit menopause 🙄), and feeling discouraged, stopped walking. Thanks to you, I will start walking from today.
Every video like this should start with the conclusion and then the evidence to come to that conclusion.
is bouncing on that muscle like when you are nervous the same effect?
Amazing shaolin has a similar stance exercise used for thousands of years. 易根筋
I'm still not quite sure what a soleus pushup is but here I am bouncing my knees and pushing myself around on my twisty chair, which as noted is causing me to breathe more than I'd expected.
Hi thanks for your comment. One thing they did talk about in the paper is the number of METs (Metabolic Equivalents) that the exercise took and it was between 1.3 and 1.69. METs are a measure of how hard you are working and less than 1.5 is considered sedentary. All of which is to say that the process should not be particularly effortful.
Has anyone with varicose veins, or other lower leg swelling had improvement using this type exercise?
Hi, what should be the duration of exercise? If a person take meal and glucose level rises upto 200 then how much time we should give exercise for lowering glucose level
Sorry, I just got here and what is the exercise, and for how long? And what if one has Morton’s Neuroma, does it affect how the exercise is done? Thank you.🙂
Thank you, worth a try!
How does it change if you stand up and do it holding dumbbells?
thank you
Thanks. Ken Berry did you a youtube video advocating the soleus push up when having a meal with others and wanting to discretely exercising under the table where no one can see. I dismissed this idea thinking that such an easy movement couldn't have much effect, but your email and the research cited shows I was wrong.
Hi Yariv, thanks for your comment and glad I could help! I hope the video explained how it works.
I wonder about this technique and the blood composition of the folks who tend to do lots of leg-shaking (RLS).
Love It Scott! Praise & Pump! Sweet Surrender!
How many minutes of doing this push up to get benefits?
Wonder what the experiment result would be for heavy metal drummers.
You have to the feet pushups for 4 1/2 hours after the meal to get the 52% reduction in blood sugar after the meal? If so, isn't it better to take a walk after meal for 10 minutes?
I was not aware that the Soleus does not store glycogen and uses only glucose for energy source.
Once you clear the blood sugar, it will start burning body fat too.
So using seated calf raises machine at gym is basically the same thing?🤔
I think we are all genetically prone to becoming overweight, Richard!
Jokes aside, it's a very interesting video. I never knew about this muscle fascinating how our body works.
Hi Anthony, thanks for your comment. Or maybe it is just some lucky ones who are not!
Doing this exercise regularly can trigger an unbelievably painful and long lasting cramp in your calf muscle. The distinguishing feature of this cramp is that it can strike you at any time while sitting, walking, running, and even sleeping.
Such effect may point to low magnesium levels.
Hello sir, is it needed to do for 4hrs? Or can't we see a change in Blood glucose levels in around 2 hrs??
What about regular push ups ?
I used a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks and found out which foods raised my glucose and which didn’t. I was surprised at the results, but probsbly other people’s would be different.
Hi Gaby thanks for sharing. That is something I would love to do as well, ever since I read the Personalized Diet. Certainly according to the book everyone is different and it would be great to know what foods triggered glucose spikes.
I've been thinking about doing this too. I will look into it and if possible, do it. Thanks for the reminder :-)
Is there any reason to believe the soleus is unique in this regard? 4 hours of exercise is probably the driver for lower blood glucose. It is interesting to see the benefit of exercise, however, this will be hard for a lot of people to repea.
Skip to 2:23 so you actually get to the point...
Tienen la información en español?
It would be interesting to compare these to a group taking acarbose.
Hi Sam, Thanks for your comment. I would agree. They did say that they don't know of any other intervention which rivals this but there was no direct comparison.
I wonder if shaking my leg when sitting habit also works a similar way. 🤔
After meal when to start and end
I started doing these soon after the video began, and I have to say that I did NOT find that the muscle doesn't tire. It DOES tire, and I'm someone who already does a lot of standing calf raises. Furthermore, it doesn't feel as though I'm using a different muscle doing it this way (seated). It feels as though I'm using the same larger calf muscle. Maybe you are failing to explain this properly?
Do we actually have to do it for 4 hours straight for it to work!
This heel-lifting exercise was created in the 1940s by Russian aircraft engine designer Alexander Mikulin. Doctors diagnosed the scientist with heart and circulatory failure. The disease aroused the scientist's interest, so he began work on creating a new form of physical activity. The inability to implement intensive gymnastics contributed to the development of an exercise that does not strain the heart, but oxygenates cleanses and removes deposits lingering in the circulatory system.
Studies show that vibrogymnastics can free the muscles of the lower extremities from excess lactic acid, and, not surprisingly, helps maintain proper circulation. The creator was convinced of the effectiveness of the method, as he regularly exercised and survived for 90 years. Mikulin believed that people suffering from circulatory insufficiency could improve their vitality. Striking with the heels intensifies blood flow in the vessels, reduces excess toxins and blood clots, and reduces swelling in the legs caused by fluid retention in the tissues.
Vibrogymnastics is described in the book entitled. "Academy of Longevity." Alexander Mikulin based his considerations on his knowledge of physics, focusing on: the action of gravity, elasticity and recoil. As a result of his inquiries, he developed an uncomplicated exercise that can be performed by almost anyone (even those who are inadvisable to fast walking or running).
How to perform the exercise correctly?
If you stand on your toes so that your heels are just an inch off the ground and sink to the floor, you will feel a thump, a gentle vibration. Exactly the same thing happens when walking, or running, as the blood flowing in the veins receives a stimulus to move upward. The important thing is that the vibration of the body must be done calmly, in stages. After thirty repetitions, Mikulin recommends a break of about 5-10 seconds.
Gymnastics will not become more effective if you lift your heels more than a centimeter above the ground. Performing the exercise inconsistently with the indications will contribute to unnecessary foot fatigue, as each series requires only sixty heel strikes on the floor.
The exercise should be performed firmly, but not in such a way as to cause pain. The shocks should resemble those you feel when running. Vibrogymastics is not a threat to the spine. The originator of the exercise advises that the training should be repeated 3 to 5 times per day, for one minute.
Practicing Mikulin's method is especially recommended for those who do sedentary or standing work on a daily basis. The exercises are an aid in the prevention and treatment of diseases of internal organs or deep vein thrombosis.
@@stormyrain2957 Thanks for the information. This sounds more realistic and explains heel strike concepts better. Is the book available?
Interesting video, but how long must you complete the excercise to feel the benefits? This is vital piece of information that has been left out. Can you kindly educate us with information?
Your sample is very low - 25 participants - hence the result cannot be seen as significant. You are however absolutely right in stating that exercise is king!
Look into how fidgeters burn significantly more calories a day from small fidgeting movements that add up throughout the course of a day. Andrew huberman talks about this
Interesting.

so, what happened?
What happened ?
😅😅
This looks great but why is this muscle better than the larger ones like the glutes or quads? Is it specifically unable to store glycogen?
The soleus can be used sitting in a chair without really affecting deskwork etc. Quads for example are also intended to do the kind of work that would use blood glucose however with quads and other muscles that fill both roles I believe you would first need to deplete the muscle's own store of gycogen before it would draw any noticeable amount of glucose from the blood IF you use the same intensity the soleus was used with in the experiment. If you use a much higher intensity of effort with the quad it will use blood glucose and go through all of it in less than an hour or so BUT this will cause an immense amount of muscle fatigue and is not at all suited to the task of multiple daily efforts to reduce blood glucose and of course it would be disruptive to sitting at a desk at work or on a sofa at home so not the practical, convenient solution the researchers want to promote. Perhaps shrugging your shoulders or bending the elbow from straight to 90° or even a small abdominal crunch movement would yield similar or better results if performed in the same way
Many athletic people have torn one or both soleus muscles. Have you any data on the people with this injury?
Lol
Regarding the difference between SPU 1 and SPU 2, it is ridiculously unclear.
"When recruited, participants were given the option of choosing to participate in two slightly different levels of this activity (SPU1 and SPU2 in random order)"
Where's the exercise?
How long should we do the exercises?
20 horas por dia.
What do you mean 52% in 4 hours,26 % in2 hours and 13% in 1hour ?
It would be interesting to know what impact jump rope or doing calve raises with resistance several times a week will have in comparison to the soleus pushup
Note that it is Soleus, not gastrocnemius that is the muscle in question. Gastrocs are much more involved in those activities.
@@whatwouldhousedo5136
thanks for the reply
the exercise in the video looked very similar to sitting calve raises which you can do at a certain machine
I heard that bending your knee while doing a calf raise will involve the soleus, while having a straight leg will involve the gastrocnemius
@@drauglynn thanks for sharing
@@drauglynn That is correct, because Gastroc crosses the knee, so bending the knee takes it out of the movement.

This wasn't as helpful as I would have liked. This was a very cursory review of a paper, and didn't really get into anything that the viewer / listener could use.
What IS the exercise? How does one do this? How does one know they're exercising the soleus? How does this compare to toe flexion? Or standing foot lifts? Or just tightening the calf muscles?
There could have been a lot more information presented. Or a little more practical information would have made this an actionable exercise.
Seems like I need to replace my office chair with a rocking chair.
Subtitles please!!!
How much time should we do this exercise? Or else I will lead to low sugar 😅
How many of yall came here after the Joe Rogan espisode with Andrew Huberman talking about this? This is going to be my new cutting hack
This explains why walking is so effective.
Walking barely works the soleus. The lower leg has to be at 45 degrees to the upper leg to effectively work this muscle.
I think they may be on to something, but they don't explain how you are supposed to remember to do this every four minutes for four hours in a row. It does seem to support one of David Sinclair's unproven theories, about standing up at your desk all day. It seems to me that standing up would work this muscle the same way. I work at home and my employer has monitoring software that uses the camera in the laptop they provide. If I step away from the field of view, I have to go through all the security procedures again to get re-connected. I do HIIT sometimes on my lunch break, but the forced immobility is not good.
I just got another kilo of NMN from China. This one arrived in 4 weeks, from some obscure eBay seller. It will last a little less than a year - I'm a heavy user on 1 gram a day sublingually. If the FDA backs Sinclair, it may never be available legally again, so this may be the last chance to stock up.
Hi Paul, thanks for sharing. They did say that the soleus is used in balance so you maybe continuously using it while standing.
WRT the FDA that is a possible outcome and I don't see how that benefits anyone.
Very interesting. So they do this for 4 hours, but how frequently...is it nonstop? or once per minute?
Every 4 minutes.
Hello sir, I have done this exercise yesterday but it gave me, little bit pain in my bumps. But there is no difference on sugar readings.
He said the study had them doing it for hours, but keep trying.
You likely performed the exercise like a strength exercise rather than with little effort for an extremely long duration as done in the study. Strength work would do little to nothing for blood glucose. Try doing the movement but with only as much effort as it takes to move the leg, without squeezing and feeling a contraction in the bumps area
Funny, I tend to move my legs in this manner naturally. It usually makes me feel like my blood is circulating better
