NDTV centers strength training for GLP-1 users
NDTV’s Nov. 4 guidance advised people taking GLP-1 medicines to prioritize resistance training at least twice weekly and treat aerobic activity, nutrition and recovery as complementary considerations for muscle health.
NDTV published exercise guidance for people taking GLP-1 medicines on Nov. 4, putting resistance training at the center of its muscle-preservation guidance. It recommended resistance exercises for major muscle groups on at least two days each week and said two full-body sessions could suit beginners.1
The article said aerobic activity supports cardiovascular health, endurance and fitness, but should not replace resistance work when the goal is preserving muscle. It cautioned that low food intake combined with aggressive training could make fatigue and recovery problems more likely.1
It also emphasized adequate protein, hydration, sleep and recovery, noting that the appropriate protein target varies by individual. For trainers, the guidance presents resistance training as the central muscle-preservation tool, with cardio, nutrition and recovery as supporting parts of a broader routine.1
