Sara Davies Adopts 6km Weighted Walks and 40-Minute Home Strength Sessions After Pre-Diabetes Warning

1 articles · Updated · Women's Health · Jul 13

Rising HbA1c levels and a doctor’s warning that she could become pre-diabetic within a year pushed Sara Davies to overhaul her fitness routine.
Davies now exercises 3 to 4 weekday mornings, centering her plan on 6am weighted power walks of about 6km in an hour and adding a weekend run when possible.
One to two home strength sessions a week—lasting up to 40 minutes—use bodyweight, 5kg and 6kg dumbbells, and 10kg and 20kg kettlebells, with deadlifts a regular focus.
Her approach marks a shift from chasing weight loss to building long-term strength and health, supported by habits including protein intake, breakfast, meal prep, sleep and post-workout refuelling.
