What Happens When You Stop Exercising

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped exercising? A new studyon twins was published in the joural Medicine & Science. The results of the studyare ddramatic.

ln the study，researchers looked at 10 pairs of twin men. Each set of twins wasin their mid-30s.Each had been brought up in the same family. Since they wereidentical,they shared the same DNA. They had maintained the same level of physicalactivity for most of their lives. But there was one difference. One twin of eachset had cut on exercising in the past few years due to work or family ressure.Onaverage, the less active twin exercised less than twice a week,while the active twinexercised at least twice a week. The research team put each twin through a set ofmedlical tests to stuly their overall healt h.

The results showed big differences. While the more active twins had lower bodyfat percentage，better endurance level，and normal sensitivity, the inactive twinshad about seven more pounds of body fat，worse endurance，and signs of disease.Notonly were their bodies different; their brains were different as well.

So keep exercising. lis beneficial to your overall health!
