People set goals and projects, such as starting to exercise to lose weight or simply keep fit; however, as the days go by they tend to postpone these types of promises to themselves, not knowing the risks they run by not exercising.
In this same sense, vacations, the weather factor or something as simple as social life or leaving it for another day, are the excuses that people use to stop exercising for a few weeks or even months and dedicate themselves to la dolce far niente.

Now, it is worth noting that having been training for the previous months to look good and suddenly abandoning it, can have fatal consequences. Therefore, it is important to warn of the risks of not practicing sport or exercise.
1. The body changes for the worse, since some physiological and biochemical processes are affected. When doing sports, fat is burned and muscles grow, there is greater blood flow and a large amount of hormones such as adrenaline or endorphins are produced, which cause a feeling of well-being. The more sport is done, the more the body gets used to the state of pleasure. When you abandon it suddenly, the opposite occurs.
2. Muscle mass is replaced by fat. After several months without exercising and not eating healthy, we will gain weight. In addition to having a slow metabolism, you run the risk of diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression or insomnia.
3. Once you stop exercising as a discipline, people tend to go out more and eat more disorderly. At this time more fats are ingested and eating is no longer a healthy habit and becomes worse. Continuing with the training will help burn excesses and maintain physical shape.
4. Life goes on and people continue to be more active, but there is no specific training. Once the exercise is stopped, people move the same or more, since they do the same or other activities, but it is not enough as exercising is. In addition to training that optimizes and improves quality of life, healthy habits should be adopted such as replacing the car with the bicycle, changing the elevator for the stairs, swimming, and taking walks or walks.

5. When people stop exercising, sleep is worse; however, by doing some kind of sport, the person will be more relaxed and will be able to win the battle against insomnia.
6. It doesn’t matter if you change your routine or exercise. If before a person trained only in the gym, now he can practice new disciplines that generate more challenges and commitments.
