Why You Must Never Miss A Workout

#1 (**permalink**) 01-19-2008, 10:15 AM

This was just posted in the "Wildcats Serious" thread on the Weight Loss Challenge forum, and it shocked my socks off (or, I should say, it shocked my gym socks back ON...) and I wanted to make sure more people saw it...

Quote:

"A single 24-hour period of inactivity can lead to a 25-percent increase in the amount of fat tissue and a 19-percent increase in the size of fat cells, according to University of Missouri-Columbia researchers who studied the effects of daily exercise and inactivity."

I've always said that when I even missed just 3 or 4 days of doing some kind of excercise, it "seemed" like it just undid any progress I had made before the time off.

Apparently it didn't just SEEM like it was undoing it, it really WAS undoing it! Yipes!

So get those sneakers on, ladies and gents! Our fat cells are more clever than we thought!
