Myth: You gain weight after you stop exercising

Myth: You gain weight after you stop exercising

Well, as you age, the fat percentage in the body already increasing.

After 40+ the increase in fat percentage is at a high speed and you are naturally losing strength from bones.

So, your BMI (bone mass index) is decreasing at a high speed after 40.

The only way available to reduce your fat percentage is through exercise and physical activity.

When you start exercising or when you do yoga your body has restricted the further increase in the fat stores, and when you stick to your practice for a longer period of time, it began to reduce your fat stores and increases your BMI.

So, when you suddenly leave the exercise regime, your body comes back to the natural changes that are happening inside the body.

It is not at all an effect of leaving any exercise schedule.
