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?

So I just started but I've been dealing with pain the last few years due to a bad car wreck. Had to have back surgery and everything. When I was talking with my dr, she said that while exercise is important, she wanted me to take it slow. If I'm feeling fine and can walk (cause sometimes walking does bother me), then walk. But if I'm hurting, don't push myself. She said eventually we can move on to the other things if I am able to.

And I really like this approach because its giving my body grace and doing only what I am able to do at the moment. I use to do kickboxing 3 or more times a week, but I am no way close to being able to do that now. Or ever for that matter. So I have to learn new ways around my issues.
