Hey everyone. I have been on semaglutide for 3 months now and wanted to get the community's take on something.

I have been reading through old threads but have not found exactly what I'm looking for. My situation: my doctor suggested hiit vs liss cardio on glp-1 and I am not sure what to make of it.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What was your experience? My endo was not super helpful — just said to "monitor it" which is not exactly actionable advice lol.

Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance. 🙏

Building on what MeganSA_TX said — the evidence base here is well-established. The key publications to reference are from the SURMOUNT program[1].

Key clinical points:

1. Efficacy is dose-dependent and typically requires 4-5 weeks to reach steady state
2. Side effect profile is predictable and usually manageable with standard protocols
3. Monitoring should include baseline labs and follow-up at 3-month intervals
4. Patient education significantly improves outcomes and adherence
