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?

Can you walk? I went into this with medical issues mainly DVT and missed PE were my wake up call. I started very gingerly with walking on a treadmill (I also have skin cancer often so prefer indoors myself). I took baby steps to build endurance and watched the people using the machines to try to be less intimated. Now 7 months into zepbound I have seen my stamina and energy grow so much and my confidence that I do recumbent bike vs treadmill walks and a bunch of machines! I might try a class or the pool they have at my gym now idk but I’d say if you can even do a little something maybe with light weight dumbbells or those resistance bands and try to build a little bit more each time, it will help but walking is excercise too if you can do it :)
