Despite the absurdity of this myth, it lives on.

What happens if you stop weight training? Your muscles will lose their attractive toned look. The benefits last only as long as you continue training.

Depending on eating habits, you may also gain fat due to the reduced caloric expenditure which will occur when you stop training. So the answer is simple. Keep training! That way, you’ll reap the healthy benefits of weight training, for life.
