  • Exercise includes cardio and strength training, which together support heart health, healthy blood sugar levels, and weight management. Exercise can also prevent excessive muscle loss as you lose weight on Ozempic.

The article from AOL discusses the relationship between exercise and the use of Ozempic, a medication primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes but also known for its weight loss effects. It highlights that while Ozempic can help with weight loss by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone which reduces appetite, integrating exercise into one's routine is still crucial. Exercise not only aids in weight management but also improves overall health, including cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and mental well-being. The article points out that although Ozempic might reduce the amount of exercise needed for weight loss, physical activity remains important for maintaining muscle mass, which can be lost during rapid weight loss, and for preventing the weight regain that can occur once the medication is stopped. It also notes that combining Ozempic with exercise can lead to better blood sugar control and potentially lower the required dosage of the drug. However, the article advises consulting with healthcare providers to tailor an exercise regimen that complements the use of Ozempic, considering individual health conditions and goals.
