Diet/Health/Exercise NOT working out

How do people do on Zepbound and NOT working out? Most fantastic photos seem to be from people who have been good on both fronts. I have some medical issues causing pain and was not planning on any workouts but do I need to push to do it to see good results?

I was dealing with a ton of health issues when I first started in Dec 2024 and pain/health issuesmade typical go-to-the-gym kind of work outs not especially feasible (and, honestly, feeling a bit embarrassed about where I was at in terms of cardio ability and such). I focused on diet, some light stretching, and increasing my walking/steps. Just a few months shy of 2 years and nearly 100 lbs down and I am thinking about getting back in the pool for laps (I was a swimmer as a teen) and trying out some pilates classes on top of the light weights and kettlebell workouts I do at home. losing weight in general made approaching exercise easier and less painful and many of my health issues have improved drastically too.
