GLP-1 Weight Loss: 40% Could Be Muscle. Here's How to Save It
You've started Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro. The weight is finally moving. So why does every doctor and dietitian keep saying the same thing: "You need to be lifting weights." Here's why. Peer-reviewed research shows that 20 to 40 percent of the weight you lose on a GLP-1 medication can come from lean body mass, including muscle and bone, not fat. The good news: strength training two to three times a week prevents most of it. Here's the science of GLP-1 muscle loss, what the research recommends, and how STRIDE Fitness strength classes are built for exactly this.

You crushed your 55-minute class. Treadmill intervals, heavy lifts, maybe a HYROX block on top. Your spine has been carrying load for the better part of an hour — so now what? Most people walk straight to the parking lot. STRIDE Fitness Huntington Beach members walk straight into the Recovery Zone, and one of the first stops is the anti-gravity massage chair.

The fastest way to flush swelling, kick-start circulation, and wake up your lymphatic system isn't another stretch session — it's standing on a vibration plate for five minutes. Here's how whole-body vibration supports lymphatic drainage, the health benefits, and how to use one at the STRIDE Fitness Recovery Zone.
