What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide in Virginia Beach is a revolutionary weight loss injection that works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and metabolism. These hormone levels will rise, go to your brain and tell it that you’re full. Semaglutide also slows digestion by increasing the time it can take for food to leave your body.


Patients on Weight loss shots have lost on average 25% of their body weight and saw vast improvements to their overall health. If you are suffering from Obesity, just struggling to lose weight, or have a BMI of over 30, consider coming in for a Free Weight Loss consultation to see if you are a candidate for Semaglutide injections!

In order to get the best well-rounded workout, there are a few muscle groups you can target at the same time with just one workout! These areas include; Arms and shoulders, chest and back, and finally, glutes and abs. Semaglutide can cause a lot of weight loss in a short amount of time.  Since losing a lot of weight at once could potentially cause you to lose muscle, you will want to focus a little bit of time on working these muscle groups. Working your muscles while on the Semaglutide weight loss program can also benefit you by burning more calories, giving you more definition and keeping your skin from sagging too much. So without further ado, here are the 5 best workouts to pair with your Semaglutide weight loss program

Squat to overhead press rotation

How to according to Womens health magazine: 

Start standing with feet hip-distance apart, toes pointed out slightly, and dumbbells in hands, resting on shoulders. Sit back into a squat until thighs are parallel with floor, then drive up through heels to return to standing while pressing right arm toward ceiling, turning torso toward left, and pivoting on right foot. Return to center, drop into another squat, then press back up, this time raising left arm toward ceiling, turning torso toward right, and pivoting on left foot. That's one rep. Repeat for one minute.

This workout affects your lower body by targeting your glutes, hamstrings quads and calves. At the same time you are targeting your upper body, specifically the deltoids, triceps and core.

Bird Dog

Hip drive into tricep extension

Then, bend your elbows in order to lower your dumbbell behind your head, working your triceps. Press the dumbbell back up, then lower it to your chest and return to starting position. Engage your core throughout the entire exercise in order to work your abs, too!
