Seated Soleus Push-Ups for Blood Sugar Control

While sitting for long periods with the knee bent about 90 degrees, repeatedly lift the heel a small amount while pressing through the toes, keeping the movement going fairly continuously. This seated soleus-focused motion is meant to mimic some of the metabolic effects of walking and can meaningfully improve blood glucose utilization during prolonged sitting.

What they did in this study was they had people who were sitting for, you know, three or four hours a day just simply raise their heel. Seems almost silly, right?
