Exercise Right published an article about GLP-1-based therapy on Nov. 9, 2026. The article was written by Sara Slayman, an accredited exercise physiologist in South Australia.1
It said rapid weight loss, or weight loss without adequate nutrition and exercise, could speed lean-mass loss. Slayman’s article said adequate protein and overall nutrition through regular, balanced meals, together with resistance exercise, could support muscle and physical function during weight loss.1
It also said aerobic fitness could improve at any weight and depended more on regular exercise than weight loss. For trainers, that makes fitness and physical function useful measures to consider alongside changes on the scale.1
