Exercise doesn’t need to be intense or complicated to make a big difference. On Semaglutide, staying active helps protect muscle, boost energy, and support long-term results. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
Safe Exercise Tips on GLP-1s
- Stay hydrated (risk of dehydration is higher).
- Don’t work out on an empty stomach if you’re lightheaded.
- Gentle progression: start small, build up.
Start Small (Weeks 1–2)
- 10–20 minutes of walking most days
- Light stretching or mobility 2–3 times per week
- Focus on building the habit, not intensity
Build It Up (Weeks 3–6)
- 2 short strength sessions per week (bodyweight or dumbbells)
- Maintain daily steps/walks
- Add light cardio you enjoy (bike, dance, swim)
Progress & Confidence (Weeks 7+)
- 2–3 strength sessions per week
- 1 “fun cardio” activity (hike, class, sports)
- Layer in variety to keep it enjoyable
