Astronauts visiting the International Space Station (ISS) usually stay for about six months. The conditions of microgravity on board the ISS cause muscles to be lost quickly<\/strong> if a strict exercise regimen is not followed during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n

We have 2.5 hours of exercise scheduled daily, usually around 60 minutes of weightlifting and 30-50 minutes of cardio (running or cycling). While any exercise program has its challenges, I found it really enjoyable to\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/B27izDYEaJ<\/a><\/p>— Loral O'Hara (@lunarloral) July 22, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
