Real Talk with the Red Mountain Experts

Absolutely! You are able to exercise on RM3® and GLP Elite™ – and it is actually recommended. If you decide to incorporate exercise into your routine, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

GLP Elite

There are no limitations on exercise while on the GLP Elite™ plan. You should incorporate at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week. We encourage a mix of cardio and muscle-building exercises to strengthen and tone, such as Pilates.

RM3

No more than 30-45 minutes of light to moderate exercise is advised due to the restrictiveness of the diet. If you overexert yourself, your body could go into stress/ starvation mode and slow weight loss or even use your muscle mass for energy, which we want to avoid.

Light to moderate cardio is ideal for RM3. This type of exercise allows you to continue a conversation, even if it is a bit breathy. Resistance bands and light weights are another option that helps tone and strengthen.

Remember to always listen to your body. If you feel like you are getting fatigued quickly or dizzy, you should modify your workout.
