Irregular exercise may actually cause you to gain weight, and the fat gained during an exercise hiatus can be tough to shed when you resume your exercise routine later.
A new study conducted at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that runners who decreased their running distance from five to zero miles per week gained four times as much weight as those who decreased their distance from 25 to 20 miles per week. They also found that those same people who started running after an exercise layoff didn’t lose weight until their mileage exceeded 20 miles per week in men and 10 miles per week in women.
Yikes, if that doesn’t keep you from skipping your next workout, I don’t know what will.
