Increased physical activity and exercise are essential to managing and improving diabetes-related outcomes. However, the two are often interchanged when they are two separate things. Physical activity is any bodily movement that requires you to burn energy. These movements are related to your daily activities, occupation and leisure. Exercise is an activity that is planned and structured, typically with the purpose of improving your health. This can be going to the gym, daily walks, weekly group fitness classes, etc.
