Decreasing muscle mass can at times be quite a difficult task, this however depends entirely on your own body as well as your determination. There are many different reasons why someone would want to reduce the size of their muscles such as general appearance or even medical conditions. Whilst it is possible to decerase muscle size and reduce your bodys muscle mass it does take a consistent effort throughout the process – this isn’t going to happen overnight!

Firstly lets consider the opposite – increasing mucsle mass. in the past you may now be at a point in your life where the situation has changed. In order to build muscle the process is relatively simple – regular high resistance training supplemented with a steady, typically high protein diet. The important thing to take not of is that when you want to decrease your bodys muscle mass you must not cut out exercise completely and must also maintain a steady diet. Protein is one of the key ingrediants required in order for muscle to build therefore having a high protein diet is advisable for those looking to increase muscle mass. However, to decrease muscle size, you still need some protein intake as it is vital to your body in general.

To begin with, when you exercise try to do more cardio based exercises including fast walking, running, gentle cycling (not up hill) and rowing as these types have minimal resistance. This means that you are still exercising your body and its muscles but they will not increase in size as they are not being “challenged”.
