Why does it take me about six months to get really fit, then only
about two weeks for my fitness to decline? I would have thought
that it'd take the same amount of time to lose fitness as gain
it.
Thanks,

Dear Fitness Freak,
Fitness industry professionals call the phenomenon you are
describing "detraining". Basically, if someone trains
aerobically or anaerobically (any physical activity), his/her
body produces more enzymes for the muscles to grow and be
maintained. When s/he stops working out, however, these enzymes
break down, leading to muscle atrophy. This can occur as soon as
one-and-a-half weeks after a person stops training or being
physically active. Within two weeks, an individual can lose up to
80 percent of his/her gains.

・健康中毒さん、
Dear Fitness Freak,
・健康産業の専門家はあなたの描いている現象を”脱トレーニング”と呼んでいます。
Fitness industry professionals call the phenomenon you are
describing "detraining".
・一般的に言って、
Basically,
・もし人が（どんな身体活動も）有酸素的にあるいは無酸素的にトレーニングするなら、
if someone trains aerobically or anaerobically (any physical
activity),
・彼や彼女の身体は筋肉が成長し維持できるようにより多くの酸素を生み出します。
his/her body produces more enzymes for the muscles to grow and
be maintained.
・でも、彼や彼女が運動するとき、
When s/he stops working out, however,
・これらの酸素は正常に動かなくなって、筋萎縮の原因となります。
these enzymes break down, leading to muscle atrophy.
・これは人がトレーニングや身体活動を止めてから1週間半するとすぐに起こる可能性があります。
This can occur as soon as one-and-a-half weeks after a person
stops training or being physically active.
・2週間以内に、人間は彼や彼女の得たもののうち最大80パーセントを失う可能性があります。
Within two weeks, an individual can lose up to 80 percent of
his/her gains.
本当に健康な体を作るのには6か月くらいかかるのに、健康の低下にはたったの2週間くらいだというのは何故ですか？

A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry
Caterpillar!
One day a tiny cricket is born and meets a big cricket who chirps
his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but there is no
sound. The quiet cricket then makes his way into the world,
meeting one insect after another, each of whom greets the little
cricket with a cheery hello--the hum of a bee, the whirr of a
dragonfly, the whisper of a praying mantis. The cricket rubs his
wings together each time, but nothing happens, not a sound. Until
the day he meets another cricket, a female, and something
different happens . . .
As children turn the page on this wonderful moment, they are
greeted with a surprise--an actual chirp!

over Josie, his one true love, nor did he ever forget his
Southern roots in the small community where he was born and
raised. When he unexpectedly returns to his hometown for the
funeral of his high school best friend, Liam is suddenly faced
with the consequences of all that he left behind.
