GLP-1 guidance calls for strength training two to four days weekly
The article also flagged fatigue, declining strength and trouble recovering as possible signs of muscle loss or poor nutrition.
On Nov. 4, Vail Health published guidance on preserving muscle and bone during GLP-1 treatment. The article said appetite suppression could lead people to eat too little and lose lean tissue.1
It recommended strength training two to four days a week, using weights, bands or body-weight exercises. It also urged adequate protein intake, sleep and recovery after workouts.1
Possible warning signs included persistent fatigue, declining strength and trouble recovering after exercise. Vail Health said people whose strength or energy declined during weight loss should talk with a healthcare provider.1
