Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other GLP-1 medications have changed the weight loss conversation.

They clearly help people lose weight, and that’s a good thing.

What concerns me is how many people tell me they’re afraid to stop taking them. Even after they’ve reached their goal weight, they’re worried they’ll gain it all back.

The truth is, that’s a valid concern if nothing else has changed.

Whether you’re using a GLP-1 medication or not, long-term weight management still comes down to the habits you practice every day.

Daily movement. Strength training. Walking. Better food choices. Better sleep. Consistency.

Here’s a simple example: if you consume just 100 extra calories per day, every day, you can end up about 10 pounds heavier a year from now. That’s not much. An extra handful of snacks, a second drink, or a few mindless bites throughout the day.

The good news is the reverse works too.

Take the stairs. Walk instead of drive when you can. Do a few air squats after a meal. Skip one beer. Make one better food choice today than you made yesterday.

Small decisions don’t seem important in the moment, but they add up over months and years.

Whether you choose Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, another GLP-1 medication, or no medication at all, the goal should be the same: build habits that support your health for the long haul.

The medication may help you lose the weight.

Your habits are what help you keep it off.

If this was helpful, like, save, and share it with someone who is working on their health journey.

Every. Day.

Most people don’t realize balance isn’t something you either have or don’t have.

It’s something you train.

In golf, you have to transfer your weight and finish under control on one leg. In everyday life, balance is what keeps you upright when you trip on a curb, miss a step, or suddenly have to catch yourself.

That’s why I like these three exercises so much.

The suitcase march builds core strength and single-leg stability.

The lateral jump and stick teaches your body to react and regain control.

The weighted version takes things up another level and challenges balance, coordination, and power all at once.

You don’t have to be a golfer to benefit from these drills. They’re great for anyone who wants to stay active, reduce fall risk, and keep moving confidently as they get older.

Which one would be hardest for you?

Follow along for more simple ways to feel better, move better, and keep playing.

Golf is more than a sport. It’s one of the healthiest things you can do for your body and mind as you age.

One of the biggest problems in modern health is that people spend all day indoors sitting, staring at screens, dealing with stress, and barely moving.

Humans were designed to move, walk, breathe fresh air, and spend time outside.

That’s one reason I love golf so much.

Walking the golf course helps improve mobility, balance, joint health, cardiovascular health, and endurance.

Sunlight supports mood, sleep, vitamin D levels, and mental clarity. Being outside can also help lower stress and anxiety while improving overall wellness.

For adults over 50, movement becomes even more important.

Sometimes it starts with simply getting outside, walking more, and enjoying activities you love.

Golf gives you movement with purpose. It keeps you social, active, and engaged while helping maintain mobility and quality of life long term.

Whether you play 18 holes, hit balls at the range, or just go for a walk outside, your body and brain will thank you for it.

Move more. Get outside. Protect your health for the long haul.

⛳Follow along. Feel Better. Play Better. Keep Playing.

We observe Memorial Day to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to this country. 

Pure Gratitude! 

Today’s workout is a Murph — done unmodified, as it was meant to be.

Lt. Michael P. Murphy was a Navy SEAL killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. 

This workout was his favorite. He called it “Body Armor.” We call it ‘The Murph’.

The workout:
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
 300 air squats
 1-mile run

… all with a 20 pound weighted vest.

If you’ve got a body that can move, move it today — and do it thinking of someone who can’t.

Memorial Day isn’t about a long weekend. It’s about remembering the men and women who gave their lives in the service of this country and the freedoms we often take for granted.

That’s why I’m doing the Murph Challenge.

The Murph workout was created to honor Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan during Operation Red Wings in 2005. Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions after exposing himself to enemy fire in an attempt to call for help for his team.

The workout was originally one of his favorites, known as “Body Armor,” before being renamed “Murph” in his honor.

For many people, Murph is a brutal fitness challenge. But the point isn’t the time on the clock. The point is remembrance.

As a physical therapist, lifelong golfer, and someone who believes movement is a privilege, I think there’s something powerful about voluntarily choosing discomfort for a few hours while remembering people who sacrificed everything.

Murph also has a way of bringing people together. Veterans, first responders, athletes, golfers, parents, and everyday people.

Different backgrounds, one purpose.

So this Memorial Day, whether you do Murph, walk 18 holes, hit the gym, or spend time with family, take a moment to remember why we have the freedom to do those things in the first place.

Freedom isn’t free.
