Physical Activity Level

While taking Ozempic, the American Diabetes Association recommends engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity each week.

Increasing physical activity can help to improve body composition and reduce weight, improve blood sugar control, decrease risk factors for heart disease, and improve overall quality of life.

It is important to speak to your healthcare provider before increasing your level of physical activity as there may be specific health considerations that need to be taken into account when starting a new exercise program. Additionally, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase intensity over time to avoid potential injury or overexertion.

Types of activities that can be done include walking, jogging/running, swimming, cycling, strength training or other resistance exercises such as yoga or Pilates.
