The Importance of Implementing Resistance Training with Semaglutide

Studies have found that Semaglutide leads to a significant decrease in muscle mass compared with a placebo. Therefore, it is extremely important to implement resistance training to prevent muscle loss when starting Semaglutide.

At Ageless Ego Weight Loss & Wellness, we make it our priority to teach our patients the importance of implementing resistance training into their physical activity.

Resistance training refers to any form of exercise that involves the use of resistance to build and strengthen the muscles. It can involve using free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, or even bodyweight exercises.

The purpose of resistance training is to challenge the muscles by placing stress on them, which stimulates muscle fiber growth and strength development. This type of exercise is typically used to increase muscle tone and size, improve overall strength, and enhance athletic performance.

There are various resistance training techniques, including weightlifting, circuit training, and high-intensity interval training. It is important to use proper form and technique during resistance training to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.

Benefits of resistance training include increased muscle mass and strength, improved bone density, enhanced metabolism, better body composition, and reduced risk of injury. It is recommended to incorporate resistance training into a well-rounded fitness routine, along with cardiovascular exercises and flexibility training, for optimal health and fitness results.

Examples of resistance training include but are not limited to:

• Squats

• Push-ups

• Bicep-curls

• Deadlifts

• Planks

• Resistance Bands

• Lunges

• Leg Press

Please note that if you do not have any weights, you can always use your body for resistance training.
