Can a Kettlebell Workout Help GLP-1 Users Maintain Muscle?
Last year, a woman who had never exercised joined my circuits class. She had lost 59.5lbs (27kg) with weight-loss medication Mounjaro and wanted to start strength training. She said that everything felt “very soft” after losing weight—even sitting down was less comfortable as there was less fat—and she felt that she’d lost muscle, too.
She worried she wouldn’t make it to the end of the hour-long exercise class, but she did—and returned for two more classes that week.
That was nine months ago and since then she’s been doing three classes a week consistently. Her transformation—both physical and mental—has been wonderful to watch. Her body shape has changed, she’s developed noticeable strength and muscle definition, and she says her back pain has reduced and she feels more confident.
