THE MISSING LINK:
MOBILITY PROGRAMMING
WHEN TAKING GLP-1 MEDICATIONS
GLP-1 medications are increasingly popular for managing weight and improving metabolic health. They offer several benefits for those in need. However, emerging evidence suggests that while GLP-1s can be effective, they may also cause muscle loss and other side effects. This is where a mobility program becomes essential.
WHY ADD A MOBILITY PROGRAM?
Incorporating a structured mobility program can help mitigate some of the potential downsides of GLP-1 medications. Here’s how:
1. Combat Muscle Loss
- Strength Training: Engaging in resistance exercises can help preserve and build muscle mass, counteracting the muscle loss associated with GLP-1s. Adding mobility sequences to your strength training routines improves your range of motion, leading to better form, deeper muscle activation, increased power, and crucial injury prevention, allowing you to lift more effectively and achieve greater strength gains.
- Functional Movement: Mobility exercises improve your overall strength and stability, which is crucial for maintaining muscle health.
2. Enhance the Effectiveness of GLP-1 Medications
- Synergistic Benefits: Regular physical activity not only enhances the metabolic effects of GLP-1s but also improves muscle mass, leading to better weight management. Add mobility sequences to your warm-ups and cool-downs to improve recovery times.
- Increased Caloric Burn: A dedicated mobility routine helps you burn more calories, supporting your weight loss efforts without compromising muscle integrity.
3. Support Long-Term Health and Sustainability
- Healthy Habits: Establishing a routine that includes mobility will help you develop lifelong habits that are essential for maintaining your health.
- Holistic Approach: By addressing both weight loss and muscle health, you create a balanced approach that supports your overall well-being and extends your paddling life.
“I used to struggle with tight shoulders and lower back pain after long sessions. Since starting the mobility program, my pain has disappeared, and I recover much faster. I can now paddle multiple days in a row without any issues.”
— Mike T., Kayaker
