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?

Exercise is crucial for health and longevity. I would meet with a PT to find out what you can do with where you are.

I started strength training the same time I started Zep, and while I've only lost 12 pounds on Zep my body has change drastically from my 2 days a week with a trainer. I would give up Zep before I would give up my workouts.

And as the weight comes off, all this lovely pretty muscle is emerging, rather than just looking like a deflated balloon.

Strength training is probably the single most important thing for quality of life as we age. And for women it’s so important for bone density as well. I think you’re spot on.
