There's still a big difference in a true couch potatoe (someone who has never been in shape or hasnt had any exercise in over a year) and someone who is used to being in shape, but just hasn't been in the last couple months. Even though you can loose your edge pretty quick if you stop, one does still seem to retain something for a long time. Also depends on the age group too i suppose.
