Learn how movement transforms your results β€” from metabolism to mood.

This module provides in-depth guidance (not structured workout plans) on how to make movement work for you while using GLP-1 medications. You’ll learn why exercise is essential for protecting muscle, improving digestion, stabilising blood sugar, and supporting long-term fat loss β€” even with gentle, realistic routines.


Why Movement Matters

β€’ Discover how regular movement boosts metabolism, supports fat burning, and protects lean muscle.
β€’ Learn how staying active helps improve digestion, gut health, and nutrient absorption.
β€’ Understand how movement regulates blood sugar, stabilises energy, and reduces cravings.
β€’ Explore how exercise supports heart health, hormone balance, stress relief, and better sleep.


Everyday Movement and NEAT

β€’ Learn about NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) β€” the calories burned through everyday movement.
β€’ Understand how small habits, such as standing more or walking daily, make a big difference over time.
β€’ Explore realistic step-goal strategies and how to build more activity into your day.


Types of Movement

β€’ Understand how each type supports your GLP-1 journey in different ways.
β€’ Discover how to combine gentle daily activity with focused strength and cardio for best results.


Strength Training

β€’ Learn why strength training is essential for GLP-1 users to protect muscle and metabolism.
β€’ Discover how building muscle improves body composition, hormones, and long-term weight stability.
β€’ Explore safe, flexible ways to strength train β€” at home, at the gym, or both.
β€’ Understand how strength training supports bones, joints, and confidence as weight decreases.
β€’ Learn the importance of warming up, cooling down, and recovery days.


The Role of Cardio

β€’ Discover how cardio supports heart and lung health, fat metabolism, and stable blood sugar.
β€’ Learn why cardio also improves mood, digestion, and stress balance for GLP-1 users.
β€’ Explore different types of cardio β€” walking, intervals, and low-impact endurance β€” and how much is right for you.


Your Movement Plan

β€’ Learn how to balance steps, strength, and cardio through the week β€” without strict schedules.
β€’ Guidance helps you mix and match sessions that suit your energy levels and lifestyle.
β€’ Discover why consistency matters more than intensity for sustainable progress.


Why This Module Matters

β€’ Exercise is not optional for long-term success β€” it’s your body’s way of locking in your results.
