This session will give an overview of the benefits of exercise training on persons taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Strength training may impact the preservation of lean / muscle tissue. We will cover the types of prescriptions (micro dose vs. injections), how exercise can be used to enhance lean tissue preservation, how training is part of a lifestyle modification program, and how trainers can market their services to community physicians in primary care and obesity medicine.
