Weight loss can change more than the number on the scale.
During GLP-1 treatment, changes in body weight, appetite, energy, and exercise tolerance can affect how you approach physical activity and training.
That makes strength and muscle an important part of the conversation.
This two-hour educational workshop introduces the SERVICE™ GLP-1 Exercise Framework—a four-phase conceptual framework for understanding how exercise considerations may evolve throughout GLP-1 treatment.
BUILD → PRESERVE → PREPARE → MAINTAIN
Rather than focusing on a single workout routine, the workshop looks at how your exercise approach can evolve as your treatment and needs change.
You’ll explore the role of resistance training, progressive exercise, physical function, fitness, and sustainable activity throughout the GLP-1 journey.
THE FOUR PHASES
🟦 BUILD
Create a sustainable foundation for exercise.
Learn how to establish appropriate exercise habits, develop confidence with movement, and begin incorporating strength training.
↓
🟩 PRESERVE
Prioritize strength and muscle while body weight is changing.
Understand why resistance training and progressive exercise can be important considerations during weight loss.
↓
🟨 PREPARE
Anticipate changes in your exercise needs.
Explore how your exercise strategy may need to evolve as you move through different stages of GLP-1 treatment.
↓
🟧 MAINTAIN
Carry sustainable exercise habits forward.
Learn how to continue strength training, physical activity, and healthy exercise behaviors as you transition toward long-term maintenance.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
This interactive workshop will help you better understand:
- Why exercise needs may change during GLP-1 treatment
- The role of resistance training during weight loss
- Why maintaining strength and muscle deserves attention
- How someone new to strength training can approach exercise
- How to recognize when your exercise strategy may need to change
- How treatment transitions can affect your exercise considerations
- How to move from an active weight-loss mindset toward long-term exercise habits
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these concepts relate to your own stage of treatment.
