Fit20 Training Method Of Choice To Preserve Muscle Mass During Glp-1 Agonists Use
With millions now using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy for weight loss, a growing body of evidence highlights a significant side effect which is the substantial loss of lean muscle mass. Studies show that 20% – 40% of the weight lost on these drugs can come from muscle tissue – the same phenomenon that occurs with any form of caloric restriction.
fit20 offers a uniquely effective counter measure that does not require excessive weight training.
The fit20 method uses slow, controlled, achievable resistance training under the guidance of a personal trainer. Using the proven method of ‘momentary muscular failure’ which is working a muscle until it is at is peak tension point, when the body sends a signal to the muscle to use all its fibres strengthening the muscle.
Mark Bundschu, fit20 Ireland owner explains. “During fit20 training, when we are working the muscle, the brain sends a signal saying, ‘‘muscle is required – keep it’, as a result, muscle protein is spared for energy production, metabolism is protected, and the negative effects of rapid weight loss are dramatically reduced. During caloric restriction the body unfortunately converts muscle into fuel. By taking each exercise to true momentary muscle failure, fit20 tells the body that muscle maintenance is non-negotiable and recruits every fibre. This is especially valuable for the rapidly growing number of people using GLP-1 agonists.”
A single fit20 session lasts just 20 minutes, is performed once per week, requires no change of clothes, produces no sweat, and is suitable for every age and fitness level. The low-impact, machine-based protocol is safe, measurable and highly efficient.
