Losing weight is a huge accomplishment, but true wellness goes beyond the number on the scale. If you’re using GLP-1 medication for weight loss or diabetes management, you’re already on the right track — but exercise is the key to building strength, endurance, and long-term success.

Why Strength Matters After Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications help regulate blood sugar and support weight loss, but movement is what ensures you stay strong, energized, and confident. Here’s why:

  • Preserve & Build Muscle – Weight loss can sometimes result in muscle loss. Strength training and resistance exercises help maintain and build muscle mass.
  • Boost Metabolism – Exercise increases your metabolic rate, helping your body burn more calories efficiently.
  • Increase Endurance & Energy – Staying active reduces fatigue and improves stamina, so you can enjoy life to the fullest.

Movement Enhances GLP-1 Results

Exercise isn’t just about burning calories—it’s about optimizing your health and feeling your best. Movement plays a direct role in:

  • Improving Insulin Sensitivity – Regular exercise helps your body use insulin more effectively, a crucial benefit for those with diabetes.
  • Enhancing Mental Well-Being – Physical activity releases endorphins, reducing stress and improving mood.
  • Promoting Long-Term Success – Pairing medication with movement ensures sustainable weight management and overall wellness.

Easy Ways to Incorporate Strength & Movement

Starting small is better than not starting at all. Here are simple ways to build movement into your daily routine:

  • Strength Training – Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or light weights can help build muscle.
  • Low-Impact Cardio – Walking, swimming, or cycling improve heart health without stressing joints.
  • Flexibility & Balance Work – Yoga and stretching improve mobility and prevent injury.
  • Group Classes – Join a class at the McCamey Wellness Center to stay motivated and on track.
