Stop Exercising

If I stop Exercising all my muscles will turn to fat.

This increase in energy expenditure creates an energy deficit, and so your body uses stored energy from the fat cells causing them to shrink in size.

What Happen When You Stop Exercising

When you exercise, your body does not actually create new muscles. Instead, your existing muscle cells grow larger and stronger, and the number of capillaries the networked blood vessels between arterioles and venues increases. With regular exercise, muscles also develop more mitochondria this is where biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur in the cell. The result is larger, more defined muscle mass, not newly created muscle tissue.

Adopting a sedentary or inactive lifestyle has the opposite effect on your muscles. The increased blood flow previously needed to fuel your cells during exercise is no longer required, and your body begins to contract and reduce the size of your capillaries. Muscles don’t disappear or turn to fat, but rather shrink and decrease in mass. Fat may be produced if your diet provides your body with more calories than you require for the level of activity you maintain.

While stopping exercise may decrease the size of your muscles, extremely poor nutrition, starvation, and disease can cause muscle atrophy, where muscles can completely waste away. Without the calories, vitamins, and nutrients of healthy food, your body is thrust into a state of malnutrition. Not only does this cause permanent damage to other organs, but it can also lead to death.
