How soon do we become unfit when we stop exercising? |
|
It can take months of hard work to build up fitness, but while your strength can quickly fade if you stop exercising, you might not have to start from scratch again.
Getting in shape isn't easy. But after all that hard work, how long do we actually maintain it? It turns out that even after the great effort we put into training, taking a bit of time off can mean that we become "unfit" much faster than it took us to actually get in shape.
To understand how the body becomes "unfit", we first need to understand how we become fit. The key to becoming fitter – whether that's improving cardiovascular fitness or muscular strength – is to exceed "habitual load". This means doing more than our body is used to. The stress that this has on our body makes us adapt and become more tolerant, leading to higher fitness levels.

Meet Our CME Doctors:
Dr. Anush Arustamyan
|
|
Early in October 2020, another wave of war struck Artsakh. Anush Anustamyan, a gastroenterologist, her husband and their 5 children had to leave their home in Shushi and find refuge in Yerevan.
“We didn’t know how long it’s going to last this time,” said Anush, age 31. Rather than giving in to disappointment and despair, Anush chose to use her time in Armenia to update her knowledge, so that later, when she goes back to her motherland, she can serve her people best.
Through a colleague, Anush learned about the four-week Continuing Medical Education (CME) program supported by AAHPO and Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR).
“She was very content with the training and advised me to apply. I am happy I followed her advice. My impressions are as strong as my expectations were before applying,” Anush said.
After training at the Erebuni Medical Center, Anush is excited and even more confident to get back to work to help more people in the Stepanakert Republican Medical Center as a Gastroenterology specialist as she used to be before the war.
She believes that learning is a never-ending process: “You have to constantly improve yourself and keep up with the latest medical innovations. It is a rapidly developing science; what you learned two years ago may not be applicable anymore. Make sure to always update your knowledge through seminars and training."
