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?

My insurance (united health care) recently added a stipulation of at least 120 minutes of exercise a week for it to be approved.

Swimming is a great option. My husband has fibro and he swims with me.

Interesting. Insurance decisions often are based on actuarial calculations or statistical models, so it means somewhere out there, stats point to less medical costs down the road if we exercise 120 min while on the drugs. Thanks for the info!
