Ozempic (generic name: semaglutide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, prescribed for type 2 diabetes management. However, it has been observed to aid in weight loss [1]. To enhance Ozempic-induced weight loss, incorporating workouts into your routine can be beneficial. Here are some suggestions:

1. Aerobic Exercise: Engage in regular aerobic activities such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity aerobic exercise per week [2].

2. Resistance Training: Incorporate resistance training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, at least two days a week. This can help build muscle mass, which can increase your resting metabolic rate and further aid in weight loss [2].

3. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by short periods of rest. This type of workout can help burn more calories and improve insulin sensitivity [3].

4. Mindful Movement: Activities like yoga or tai chi can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to weight gain or hinder weight loss [4].

5. Consistency: Regular exercise is key. Aim to create a sustainable workout routine that fits into your lifestyle [5].

Remember, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen, especially when taking a prescription medication like Ozempic.
