Exercise is not required for GLP-1 medications to work, you’ll still lose weight.

But adding movement can:

  • Boost energy

  • Improve mood

  • Support better sleep

  • Maintain muscle

  • Increase long-term success

Easy, sustainable movement you can start with:

  • 10–20 minute walks

  • Light stretching

  • Bodyweight exercises

  • Yoga or Pilates

  • Short at-home workouts

Most patients start exercising naturally once they feel lighter, more energized, and more in control of cravings.

Start wherever you are, every bit counts.
