What types of exercise work best with lipitor?



Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. While it is important to maintain an active lifestyle, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise regimen while taking Lipitor. According to the Cleveland Clinic [3], moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, can help improve cholesterol levels. Additionally, resistance training, such as weightlifting, may also be beneficial in improving cholesterol levels. However, it is important to note that excessive exercise or overexertion may cause muscle damage, which is a known side effect of Lipitor [2]. Therefore, it is essential to work with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate exercise regimen that is safe and effective for each individual.
