Subject: Executive Fitness Weekly Fit Tip:
Did you
know?
Slack off statistics.
What happens when you take a vacation from
exercise?
1 week - Cardiovascular
capacity (endurance) and strength probably won't be affected. Sometimes a
week off allows your body to heal after several weeks of intense
training.
1 month - Expect to huff and
puff on the treadmill or life cycle. You've lost a small amount of
cardiovascular capacity and strength, but nothing drastic.
3 months - You have probably
lost half of what you gained in strength and endurance, leading up to this
break. Start back to your program slow to avoid injuries.
6 months - You are in the same
shape you were before you ever started your exercise program. All of your
previous gains in strength and endurance are null and void.
Remember, consistency is the name of the
game. Working out for 20-30 min. 3 days a week is more beneficial than
working out 2 hours one day a week.
Have a Healthy Day,
Executive Fitness
