Episode 116: Muscle Loss

Jonathan Steedman, APD

In this episode, I’m talking about muscle loss what actually happens when you’re not training because of injury, travel, or being sick. 

A lot of people worry that they’ll lose all their progress in a matter of days, but it’s actually a slower process than you think. The key is to stay active in whatever way you can, even if it’s just small movements.

I also clear up some of the myths around protein and nutrition, because no, you don’t need to panic or overhaul your diet the second you stop lifting. The goal is to keep your body moving, fuel it properly, and not stress over short breaks. 

At the end of the day, it’s about having a practical plan to look after your muscle health until you’re back in your normal routine.
