WISH ME LUCK!!

Cardiovascular Stop training and your blood volume falls, which means there is a decrease in the total amount of blood your heart can pump during exercise. The dimensions of the heart muscle also decrease, as does respiratory (lung) function, caused by weakening of the muscles in the ribcage. All of this reduces the amount of oxygen you can transport to your working muscles, which means your maximal performance will start to decline.

Metabolic Over time, your muscles will find it harder to produce energy from your fat stores. This effectively decreases your endurance since carbohydrate stores – the other major fuel source during exercise – are quite limited, whereas energy from fat stores is virtually unlimited. Something called ‘insulin sensitivity’ is also reduced, which means your muscles find it harder to take up glucose (muscle fuel).

A less efficient oxygen metabolism means that for a given effort level, higher levels of fatiguing blood lactate are produced in your muscles, making it 
harder for you to maintain 
high training intensities.

Muscular detraining In your cycling muscles, the density of capillaries – the tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen to your muscles – decreases, and the concentration of enzymes in muscle mitochondria (the ‘aerobic energy factories’ within cells) used to release energy from oxygen, also decreases. 
As well as this, muscle fibres shrink in cross section and 
cell-signalling hormones involved with gaining and maintaining strength decline, leading to strength losses.


You should definitely get back into it, it gives you a nice ass! xD

Well isn't that the whole point?
