Aiming towards the month of December, many people remember all those resolutions that were made at the time to improve in various areas of their life, be it professional, academic, personal or any other, and that is when they decide to return to them, especially of exercising, but since we are not constant, we suffer from loss of muscle mass. In what time do you lose shape when you stop exercising?
While it’s true, people who are truly committed to their lifestyle work all year long to polish themselves, and not just come December or any other particular time. Summer, for example, is undoubtedly the perfect time when girls want to show off their bikinis and boys want to show off their six packs, but the problem is that they change their six pack of muscle for one of alcoholic beverages, and just like that?
In addition, there is a very important point that is not taken into account, and this is rest, because instead of exercising and going to bed early, they drink alcohol and stay awake. It should be considered that if we are subjecting the muscles to intense work, they need to rest, since it is precisely with rest that they begin to grow, that is why experts recommend resting and leaving the training routine for a few days every so often.
For some it can be frustrating to be striving all year long to achieve the desired body, and realize that in a short time you can lose it. How much exactly? The first visible results of loss of muscle mass begin to be noticeable after ten days of inactivity.
Aerobic resistance, for example, can be lost between 25 or 30 days of not working on it, and muscle hypertrophy, which is strength and endurance, begins to lose muscle mass between 10 and 20 days of not training, and maximum speed can be lost. between 2 and 8 days of not working it.
Obviously, each body reacts in a different way, but we reach a point where we lose condition by not exercising, if we get there, and that is why exercise is considered a lifestyle, because at the moment in which we give up everything falls apart.
So, all those who reach an enviable physique and manage to stay that way for a long time, is undoubtedly something to admire, because let’s remember that part that is very important, we can all reach our goal, but stay there, that is what it is. really very difficult.
