Ozempic and Exercise: A Winning Combination for Long-Term Success

Ozempic has recently gained significant attention as a tool for weight loss. And while it's helping many people achieve their health goals, there's often a stigma or embarrassment attached to using it. Some may hesitate to share that they’re on Ozempic, especially around fitness professionals, fearing they’ll be shamed for "taking a shortcut." But at Coastal Strength & Fitness, we see things differently.

We Understand—Ozempic is a Tool, Not a Shortcut

Ozempic isn’t a magic pill, nor should it be seen as something to be embarrassed about. It’s a medical tool that has helped many individuals lose weight and improve their health. And just like any tool, its effectiveness increases (and most common side affects decrease) when paired with the right strategy—particularly exercise.

At Coastal Strength & Fitness, we believe in empowering people to use all available tools to reach their goals, and that includes Ozempic. However, for those on or considering Ozempic, it's crucial to understand that medication alone may not lead to the best long-term results. This is where the power of exercise comes in, and more specifically, resistance training.

The Power of Pairing Ozempic with Resistance Training

One of the potential side effects of rapid weight loss is the loss of muscle mass. Ozempic can cause significant reductions in weight, but without the right exercise routine, a lot of that weight could be precious muscle.

Muscle plays a critical role in metabolism, strength, and overall health, particularly as we age. That’s why it’s so important to incorporate resistance training while using Ozempic.

Resistance training helps maintain and even build muscle mass, supporting a healthy metabolism and ensuring that your weight loss is not just about losing fat, but also keeping your body strong. It’s the perfect partner for medications like Ozempic.
