Many people lose weight without workouts and face an unpleasant effect: the weight goes down, but the body becomes soft, flabby, and the reduction in measurements isn’t where they would like it to be. This raises the question—can you actually preserve muscle without exercise?

Let’s dive into detail about how to maintain muscle mass without training, what to pay attention to, and which mistakes most often lead to muscle loss.
