Muscle atrophy after 10 days of no practice/workout!
My doctor says you can get muscle atrophy after about 10 days of no practice / workout, exercise! No wonder team workouts don't get as cancelled as the rec. classes! p.s. in case you don't know what muscle atrophy means: it means you lose muscle, etc. -> google's web definition is: "Loss of muscle fiber volume characterized by a visible decrease in muscle size. This occurs because muscles no longer receive impulses or signals from nerve cells."

The most team is off in a row is usually 2-4 days.

We just had a two-week break, but we have open gyms. Plus I run everyday and lift weight tues/thurs/sat for track.
