All right, that's it, that's my last workout.

No, I'm just kidding, but really, have you ever wondered what would happen to your body if you stopped working out?

Well, today, we're gonna find out just that.

Not too long ago, I did a poll asking you guys since the start of of the year, if you've been consistent with your diet and training, and you said you hadn't.

And that got me thinking, what would happen if I stopped working out?

Well, first off, we know exercises come with tons of amazing benefits.

Even ones that can literally fight off and reduce the risks of diseases like cancer.

But if we suddenly stopped exercising, would we immediately lose the benefits?

If you decided to stop exercising, your muscles would atrophy.

That is, they'd literally shrink as the muscles wouldn't need to maintain their size and strength with the lack of resistance training.

This would include the endurance of the muscle, but also your cardiovascular endurance.

Your heart and lungs would become less efficient at delivering oxygen to your muscles, which would decrease your physical capabilities overall.

Meaning just climbing up a flight of stairs may now seem like a full cardio session.

You'd also lose flexibility, as regular exercise helps to maintain flexibility in that the muscles are constantly shortened and lengthened during exercise.

Your bones would also become less dense, which can lead to being easier to fracture, even from a short fall, as exercise helps bones maintain density and strength.

Aside from the fact that you'd gain weight if you remained eating the same calories prior to stopping exercise, as you would no longer be burning extra calories for your workouts, your metabolism would also slow down as exercise plays a crucial role in regulating the metabolism, meaning it'd be both easier to gain fat and harder to lose weight.

There'd also be an impact on your mental health, as exercise has been shown not only to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, but also improve your mood, as during exercise, your brain releases endorphins, a type of neurotransmitter responsible for relieving pain, reducing stress, and improving your sense of well being.

Now, this all sounds horrible, but how quickly would these effects take hold?

Am I gonna lose all my muscle if I stop training for a few weeks?

Week one.

Let's say it's been one week since your last workout.

You're not gonna really notice any significant changes in your physique, but if you touch your muscles in your arms, you may think they feel slightly softer as your glycogen stores decrease.

And you definitely wouldn't have a pump, which can make you appear slightly smaller.

And with only a week of no training, you might be feeling more anxious, as after having consistently been training for months or even years, your body would be sending you signals that something is missing, as with just seven days of no exercise, your stress levels are already increasing.

But at this point, if you were still eating clean, no one looking at you would be able to tell the difference.

And if you started training again, there really wouldn't be any significant strength or muscle loss.

But after one month since stopping exercising, it's starting to be visibly obvious.

Your muscle tone and definition have noticeably decreased while your body fat percentage has slightly increased.

Not only have you lost muscle mass, but you've lost strength too.

And your cardiovascular endurance has declined further.

Now, depending on different factors like age, genetics, fitness level, and diet, the amount of muscle loss would vary, but you can expect a loss of around four to eight percent in muscle mass.

And after thirty days of no exercise, your energy levels are much lower, but you've gotten used to not training every day.

The stress and anxiety you were feeling initially are still present, but it's also starting to feel like your new normal.

After three months of no exercise, you've already lost nine to fifteen percent of your muscle mass.

Your strength is down and your cardiovascular endurance has dropped tremendously.

Your arms and shoulder muscles are visibly smaller and less defined.

If continuing the same exact diet prior to stopping exercise, your weight would have actually gone up a couple pounds now, meaning with a decrease in muscle mass, your body fat percentage has significantly increased.

You have much more fat around your lower back and stomach, and it's also starting to show in your face with it looking rounder.

If you were to start working out again now, not only would you be weaker, but you'd also tire out faster as your stamina is no longer where it used to be.

Looking in the mirror, you may not notice the drastic change as you'd have been seeing yourself every day.

But if you see an old photo of yourself when you were consistently training, you'd be shocked how much you've already changed in a relatively short amount of time.

After six months have passed since your last workout, you've already lost about eighteen to thirty percent of your muscle mass.

Because you've lost so much lean muscle mass and you've gained a lot more body fat, specifically in your lower back, stomach, love handles, chest, legs, arms, and face, you pretty much no longer have anywhere near the muscle definition you once had.

Continuing to eat the same diet as prior to stopping exercise, you shouldn't be overweight just yet, though you have gained weight, but people may now ask you if you do yoga instead of asking you if you work out.

When you exercise regularly, your heart is made stronger as it can pump more blood with less effort, which can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, meaning after half a year of no exercise, your cardiovascular health has deteriorated and risks of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions have increased.

And after one full year since you stopped exercising, you can expect to have lost anywhere from eighteen to sixty percent of your muscle mass.

The muscle atrophy has slowed down as the muscle you're carrying now is somewhat being sustained by your daily activities like walking or doing any other activities you would have normally done prior to stopping exercise.

Looking in the mirror, you no longer have the same muscle definition in your lower abdomen, chest, or arms, and your face and neck have a lot more fat.

Your strength and cardio have also plummeted while your sleep would continue to be negatively affected as studies have shown that those with a higher fat mass index not only get poorer sleep, but also less sleep than those with less body fat and more muscle mass.

And your risks of chronic health conditions such as obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease have significantly increased from one year ago.

Now again, it's important to note that every individual's responses to stopping exercise can vary based on the previous mentioned factors like genetics, age, gender, and baseline fitness level, but in general, the same result is inevitable in that your health will decline as consistent physical activity is essential for maintaining overall health and well being.

But now that we know what would happen if you stopped exercising, if you decided to start again at this point, how long would it take to build back the muscle loss and burn off the excess fat gained over the past year?

Well, after just one week back, you'll notice your energy levels and mood have elevated as we know endorphins are released during exercise.

You'll also already start to experience improved quality of sleep, but you may have more soreness and stiffness throughout your body which may last longer after your workouts than when you were consistently training as your muscles have to adapt again to the new movements and stress placed on them.

There wouldn't be any big visual changes to your physique just yet, but if you check your weight on a scale, you can find a decline anywhere from half a pound to a pound.

Your strength would still be nowhere near where it was prior to stopping exercise and neither would your stamina.

So your workouts that first week would be much less intense and with much less resistance.

But after one month back to training, your strength is starting to increase and so is your muscle mass.

Though it doesn't come back as fast as you lost it.

You do notice your flexibility and endurance returning, as you're able to get back into the routine of exercising regularly while completing your workouts without too many or too long of breaks between sets.

You notice some fat loss and even a little bit of muscle gain now, as your muscles start to feel more firm and toned, and even your confidence is improving, which motivates you to keep going.

After three months of consistent exercise, you notice your face getting thinner, your waist is slimmer, and you're about eighty percent back to your previous strength levels.

Not only do you see a difference in the mirror, but so do others around you, and your muscles have literally and visibly grown in size.

Your endurance has also improved to the point where you're able to exercise for longer durations and at higher intensities month over month, which results in faster gains.

Your stress and anxiety from before are also gone now, meaning both the way you look and the way you feel have changed for the better.

And after six months of consistently exercising, your strength is back to its previous levels, and maybe even higher.

Your physique is also pretty much back to where it was when you had been consistently training.

Your energy levels would also be up, not just in the gym, but in daily life as well, as you may notice you're less sleepy or drowsy during the day and feel more alert.

Your sleep has also continued to improve while your resting heart rate has lowered, which improves your endurance and stamina during your workouts, while also allowing you to recover quicker.

Exercise has become a habit and part of your regular routine, and if you continue on from here with no more breaks, you may even reach your best physique yet.

We know there's a million reasons why someone might stop working out.

They can range from injury, lack of motivation, busy schedules, or personal life changes.

But if you're constantly starting and stopping, you may be progressing very slowly, or not at all.

When starting to first exercise, you may be very motivated and lose that motivation as time goes on, from not seeing the results you want quick enough,

or simply due to boredom, but you really need to be fueled by the health benefit and think of the strength and physique gains as a plus.

Motivation can be lost, but you would still do the things you know you have to if your life depended on it.

So make exercise a part of your routine and your lifestyle.

And a great tip for staying consistent if you're just starting off is to take on a workout or workout program that is gonna be not too intense so that you know that you'll be able to stick to any day.

Even if it's just a five or ten minute workout, eventually you're gonna get stronger and be able to dedicate more time and do more rounds.

And if you stay consistent, you're guaranteed to see results.
