Using weight loss medications like Wegovy or Zepbound?
While rapid weight loss from medications like Wegovy or Zepbound is often what people are after, it can also lead to muscle loss. Keeping your muscle is super important because it's metabolically active, which means it helps you burn more calories even when you're just chilling. This boosts your overall metabolism and aids in weight management.
That's why resistance training is a must to keep your muscle and strength. If you're on these meds and want to kickstart your fitness journey, this episode is just for you.
I introduce my entry-level strength training program, 'GLP-Strong,' designed specifically for those who need to preserve muscle while on weight loss medication.
In this episode, I’ve invited two of my partners, Shaun Parris and Stephanie Burke. Shaun, the owner of CrossFit Common Fortitude in Lakewood, Colorado, has over 10 years of training experience and focuses on helping people stay healthy and active into their senior years. Stephanie, a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and former paramedic, now works in emergency preparedness. She specializes in training large-body athletes and is passionate about improving health and well-being.
We talk about:
- Exercise Guidelines
- In-depth explanation Resistance and Strength Training
- GLP Strong with GLP 1 meds
