It's how long it takes to lose muscle mass

If it does not inspire you to break a sweat, we are not sure what's going.


Maybe all the weekend is all weekend or hot weather, but there is something about the summer that makes it difficult to stick to a constant workout schedule.

Although skipping some gym sessions do not totally burst yourweightloss efforts, go only two weeks without losing sweat, a Danish study in theRehabilitation Medicine Journal indicated. It worsen: In addition to doing toll on your physique, your fitness and your strength, the results suggest that you will take triple the time you were inactive to find themuscular Mass you lose after a two-week fitness hiatus. (Are you short at the gym again?)

To reach this conclusion, the researchers gathered 17 men active in the twenties and 15 active men in their sixties. Each participant had one of their immobilized legs for two weeks. After two weeks of inactivity, all participants lost physical form and muscle mass - without choker there. However, the young set lost about 17 ounces of muscle and 30% of their muscle strength (which equates to about 45 years, according to the study), while older men lost only nine ounces of muscle mass and 20% of their strength. Just indicate, the magnitude and more muscular that you are, the more you risk losing if you are released.

After the immobilization period, men formed four times a week to find their lost muscle mass,strengthand fitness - and that finally took them six weeks to return to their original form. Apparently, the old adage "uses it or lose it" is really true.

If these results do not inspire you to press you in a few weeklyWorkout sessions, we are not sure what's going. Remember that even if you can only take the time to hit the gym for half an hour several times a week, it's better than nothing at all.
