Exercise With GLP-1 Medications
When using GLP-1 medications (like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide) for weight management or type 2 diabetes, incorporating regular exercise can enhance their effectiveness and contribute to overall health. Here are some types of exercises that work well in conjunction with GLP-1 medications:
Aerobic Exercise
- Activities: Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or dancing.
- Benefits: Improves cardiovascular health, aids in weight loss, and helps manage blood sugar levels.
- Recommendation: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, such as 30 minutes on most days.
Flexibility and Balance Exercises
- Activities: Yoga, Pilates, stretching routines.
- Benefits: Enhances flexibility, balance, and overall physical function, which is particularly important as you age or if you have joint issues.
- Recommendation: Include flexibility and balance exercises 2-3 times a week.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- Activities: Short bursts of high-intensity exercise (like sprinting or fast cycling) followed by periods of lower-intensity recovery.
- Benefits: Effective for burning calories and improving cardiovascular health in a shorter amount of time.
- Recommendation: Include HIIT sessions 1-2 times a week, but be sure to balance with lower-intensity activities.
Tips for Exercise with GLP-1
Medications:
Start Slowly
If you’re new to exercise or returning after a break, start with lower-intensity activities and gradually increase intensity.
Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is important, especially if you're increasing
your activity level.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels, especially if you're taking medications that can affect your glucose levels.
Listen to Your Body
Be aware of how your body responds to both the medication and exercise. If you feel unwell, consult with your healthcare provider.
Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have existing health conditions or concerns.

Insurance coverage for GLP-1 medications typically requires a BMI over 27 with a comorbidity, or a BMI over 30 without a comorbidity.
However, we focus on each individual patient, their goals, their overall health, and not the specific numbers.
We require a follow-up every three months, either virtually via phone or video, or through an updated intake form. This is to ensure your progress is effectively monitored and documented. We also assess for any side effects, current BMI, and review your current vital signs. This helps to ensure safe and effective treatment. Follow up visits are only $79 every 3 months.
Lab results are not required to begin treatment. If you have current lab results, you're welcome to send them for review, and the provider will review the results during your appointment. Please email lab results to labs@restoredwellnessclinic.com.
You can reach us via phone, email, text, or the Contact Us Today form below. We are available Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm EST, and Saturday 9am-1pm EST for virtual visits, and 24/7 for existing patients.
