Can muscles disappear if they don't practice for a long time?
After stopping training for two weeks, not only the muscle strength will decrease obviously, but also the proportion of fast muscle fibers in the muscle will decrease. In layman's terms, muscles will become slack and not as full and tight as before. But your muscle circumference will not decrease. Muscle memory is still there. If you pick up the training again at this time, you don't need to accumulate slowly from scratch, and your muscles can recover quickly. If you stop exercising 1 month, your body will adjust itself and your hormones will decrease to some extent. No longer do a lot of glycogen and water storage for muscles, fast muscle fibers will also contract, muscle circumference will be significantly reduced, and cardiopulmonary ability will be worse than before. If you stop exercising for three months, congratulations and go back to basics. At this time, your metabolism level and exercise ability have deteriorated very seriously. If you resume exercise, you will feel a strong muscle ache, which is no different from that of a novice. You may not be able to enter the state at the beginning of training, and you are very sleepy.

If you decide to keep fit, don't give up easily. Even if you give up, don't lose your heart!
