This is not possible - muscle tissue and fat tissue are two entirely different types of tissue!

The molecular structure of one is completely unlike the molecular structure of the other. So, if you stop exercising, your muscle will NOT turn into fat. Rather, it will simply atrophy and become smaller in size. However, if you're burning fewer calories than you consume, there IS a chance that your body will store more fat, and you could gain weight.
