STUDY: Once You Start To Exercise, You Cannot Stop!

According to a new study, the consequences of quitting exercise may be
greater than previously thought. Results showed that the weight gained
during an exercise hiatus can be tough to shed when exercise is resumed at a
later date.
The study, conducted by Paul Williams of Berkeley Lab's Life Sciences
Division, found that the key to staying trim is to remain active year-round,
year-after-year, and to avoid seasonal and irregular exercise patterns. Most
of all, don't quit. Failure to do so may be a contributing factor in the
nation's obesity epidemic. "The price to pay for quitting exercise is higher
than expected, and this price may be an important factor in the obesity
epidemic affecting Americans," says Williams.
The study should prompt people to think twice before taking a break from
their exercise regimens, despite the pressures of family and work
obligations, or waning motivation.
