Did you exercise in the last week? month? or even year? Well, if your answer was no, this is not really promising. Many fitness experts say that the effects of non-exercising could be felt in just two weeks after cutting all fitness activities.
Flexibility, muscle strength, stamina, and often flexibility, start declining in as little as 10 to 14 days after you stop training, and they continue declining from there.
If you don’t exercise, you will be more stressed. Princeton University researchers found in an experiment on mice in 2013 that those who exercised were better equipped to deal with things causing stress – in this case cold water – than those who didn’t.
This was because the physically active mice experienced a spike in neuron activity that shut off excitement in the ventral hippocampus, the region in the brain that controls anxiety.
Of course, you used to sleep better when you had a healthy life style full of exercise, so you can predict that not exercising will severely disrupt your sleep.
A study by the “the journal Mental Health and Physical Activity” has shown that “People sleep significantly better and feel more alert during the day if they get at least 150 minutes of exercise a week”.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention have shown that these inactive adults result in over 9 million cases of cardiovascular disease each year costing American’s an estimated $24 billion.
On the contrary, studies have shown that adults that are physically active can cut medical costs by over $70 billion.
If you do not exercise, on the long run, you might have Coronary Heart Disease, strokes, high blood pressure, breathlessness, flabby body, little energy, stiff joints, osteoporosis, poor posture, and overweight.
Exercising makes you smile, so cutting all fitness exercises will make you anxious and nervous most of the time. So, why don’t you exercise and prevent all the harmful effects of not exercising?
