Wegovy & HIIT (CrossFit, Hyrox, Running)
I’m starting Wegovy in a few weeks after vacation and would love some perspective from people who train hard while on it.
I’ve spent over a decade doing CrossFit, running, and now HYROX, so a lot of my training is pretty high intensity. I’ve also been trying to lose the last 10–15lbs for years (which is why I’m finally giving Wegovy a try)
My biggest concern is losing muscle, strength, or stamina. For those of you who still do CrossFit, HYROX, running, lifting, HIIT, etc. while on Wegovy:
- How did you adjust your training and eating? If so, how?
- Were you still able to do high-intensity workouts?
- Were you able to eat enough carbs around training to perform well, even with the appetite suppression? What about slow digestion?
I’m mainly wondering if I can realistically keep training hard and maintain my engine while losing weight on Wegovy.
Would especially love to hear from people who were already very active/fit before starting.
