Weight Loss Drugs May Reduce Activity
Description
New research reveals that people on popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may be moving less—even as they shed pounds. A study of over 700 adults found significant drops in daily steps and vigorous activity, alongside potential loss of lean muscle mass. Experts warn that exercise isn’t optional: without it, strength and metabolic health may suffer. While some doctors report patients become more active after weight loss, the consensus is clear—personalized exercise plans, including resistance training and daily walks, are vital for long-term success, especially for those with higher BMIs or mobility challenges.
