Taking Mounjaro? Here’s Why Exercise Matters.
If you’ve chosen to begin Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or other weight loss medication, you’re already taking a powerful step towards improving your health and managing your weight. But medication is just one piece of the puzzle. What you do with your body each week makes a huge difference in your results and how you feel along the way.
👉 Without exercise, weight loss from medication often comes from both fat and muscle. That can lead to:
* Loss of strength and energy
* A slower metabolism
* Higher chance of excess loose skin after weight loss
👉 With exercise, especially resistance training you:
* Preserve and build lean muscle while losing fat
* Support skin, muscle, and tissue so your body reshapes better
* Boost heart health, blood sugar control, and daily energy
* Gain confidence in how you move and feel
Just 150 minutes of higher intensity workouts per week can be the difference between you being happy with your results or not.
At The Dungeon, I help people create safe, effective, and enjoyable training plans that maximise the benefits of their treatment in a judgement free, anonymous zone. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own, exercise can be the key to unlocking the healthiest version of yourself.
