3.It affects your weight

• One of the major side effects of leaving the gym
  is that you put on weight after you quit the gym.
  This does not happen because the muscles turn
  into fat, but because when you do a heavy workout
  at the gym, you burn calories and your metabolic
  rate increases which help the body to maintain an
  optimal weight.
• But, when you stop working out, the body consumes
  less energy, which is why it begins converting
  the extra energy as fat. You leave doing
  exercises, but you are consuming the same amount
  of calories which you used to while you were
  working out, or maybe more which makes you put
  on weight as there is nothing to burn those extra
  calories.

• When you work out, you become a morning person.
  You wake up early, feel the fresh air and then
  hit the gym. You have a tight schedule to which
  you stick, and you start following healthy
  lifestyle habits. It also makes you productive,
  and you feel relaxed the whole day. Various
  researches done by psychologists suggest that
  exercise is helpful in terms of improving mood.
• Studies suggest that exercising may cause your
  body to suppress the chemicals that make people
  feel depressed and increase the release of
  chemicals that reduce depression. That is why
  those who work out regularly have a bright smile
  on their face. Those who are gym addicts know
  that experience when they feel light, joyous and
  strong post workout. When you stop hitting the
  gym, you lose these benefits. Many people feel
  irritated and annoyed after they leave the gym.
  Also, the self-esteem of an individual may lower
  down if he or she starts putting on weight.
