The level of fitness gained from this personal exercise plan is reversible. By stopping exercising, you will gradually loose your fitness. It takes around 3-4 weeks to get out of condition and will rapidly get worse at the things you have just worked on in previous weeks. Muscles that are not used will waste away or atrophy.
