Myth 2: Muscle turns to fat when you stop exercising
Muscle and fat are completely different tissues that are not interchangeable. Instead, there are two key reasons why people perceive that muscle turns to fat when they stop exercising.

Muscle goes from firm to floppy when it's not used. It also decreases in size, hence the saying, use it or lose it.

Many people stop exercising but don't adjust how much food they eat. The reality is, when you exercise less, you have to eat less.
