Many patients on GLP-1s actively incorporate exercise into their routine, finding it an important complement to the medication for achieving their weight loss goals and improving overall health. Patients report that while GLP-1s are highly effective, they are not a "miracle," and consistent physical activity, such as working out 4-5 times a week or daily walking, helps with toning, increasing energy, and improving physical capabilities. This combined approach often leads to feeling better and achieving more comprehensive body changes.
"still working out 4-5x a week still tracking meals, almost 2 gallons of water a day, like i said before, this isnt a miracle you cant expect it to do the work when you continue to eat like crap and not workout."

"I focus on how great it is that I can now walk faster and for longer without feeling like I might pass out, I can go do gardening for hours without getting worn out, I was finally able to have the energy to redecorate, my knees feel so much better, I can fit in clothes I have wanted to wear for years."

"I find it hard to go to the gym because I work 5 days a week and mostly late shifts but my job is almost like the gym I guess. I lift, I walk 10k every day at work with 2 days of rest. I would say the walking/fast walking has helped tone my legs a little."
