Movement Matters

Regular exercise amplifies the benefits of peptide therapy, from improved body composition to enhanced recovery and mood.

Getting Started
If you’re new to exercise or returning after a break:
– Start with 3 days per week, 20-30 minutes
– Focus on walking, light resistance training, or swimming
– Gradually increase duration and intensity over 4-6 weeks

Resistance Training
Especially important for peptide therapy patients:
– 2-3 sessions per week minimum
– Focus on compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows)
– Progressive overload: gradually increase weight or reps
– Allow 48 hours between sessions targeting the same muscle groups

Cardiovascular Exercise
– 150 minutes moderate or 75 minutes vigorous per week
– Options: walking, cycling, swimming, rowing
– Zone 2 training (conversational pace) is excellent for metabolic health

Recovery
– Sleep 7-9 hours per night
– Include rest days
– Consider stretching or yoga
– Listen to your body

Special Considerations
– GLP-1 patients: exercise may reduce nausea and improve energy
– BPC-157 patients: follow clinician guidance on activity during healing
– Always warm up before and cool down after exercise
