Hey there, feeling like your sedentary lifestyle is catching up to you? Are you constantly too busy to squeeze in a workout or find yourself hesitating to exercise? Well, I have a solution for you – Soleus Pushups!
According to new research from Professor Mark Hamilton at the University of Houston, performing soleus pushups can have amazing benefits for your health. Not only can it boost your metabolism and lower your blood sugar, but it can also reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes.
The soleus muscle, which is targeted by these pushups, is crucial for everyday activities like standing and walking. So, why not give it some love and reap the benefits of improved blood sugar regulation?

When this was posted a couple years ago I remember it requiring some specific equipment or something like that or you won’t get the benefit, like I specifically remember it not working without something else that you wouldn’t have.
