RECOVERY DURING PHASE 4

Long-term success requires recovery.

Prioritize:

Sleep

Aim for:

7–9 hours each night.

Hydration

Maintain adequate fluid intake.

Recovery Days

Include at least one recovery day each week.

Listen to Your Body

If fatigue is elevated:

• Reduce workout intensity
• Choose walking or mobility
• Resume normal training when ready

COMMON PHASE 4 MISTAKES

1. Stopping The Off GLP-1 Exercise Plan After Weight Loss

Weight maintenance requires continued habits.

2. Returning to Old Patterns

The goal is creating a new lifestyle system.

3. Focusing Only on the Scale

Success includes:

• Strength
• Energy
• Mobility
• Fitness
• Confidence

4. Losing the Strength Training Habit

Resistance training remains one of the most important tools for maintaining results.

FINAL THOUGHT

The purpose of GLP-1 treatment is not only to lose weight.

The ultimate goal is creating the strength, confidence, and habits needed to maintain your health long term.

Medication may help begin the journey.

Exercise helps you continue it.

The goal is not returning to where you started.

The goal is building a stronger foundation for the future.

That is the next step.  Explore What Happens After GLP-1 Medication?

FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS / REFERRAL PARTNERS

This SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework was developed to provide structured exercise support for individuals using GLP-1 medications. Healthcare providers may refer patients who need guidance with resistance training, muscle preservation, and long-term weight maintenance.

PATRICK'S PHILOSOPHY

Exercise should evolve as treatment evolves.

Every stage of GLP-1 therapy presents unique opportunities and challenges.

Rather than prescribing the same program for everyone, I believe exercise should match where you are in your journey.

The SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework emphasizes:

• Meeting people where they are
• Progressing exercise throughout treatment
• Preserving muscle—not simply reducing weight
• Building independence over time
• Collaborating with healthcare professionals to support long-term success
