If during this exercise is a cardio exercise conducted for 1 hour and 5 times a week, the possibility of calories burned for more than the calories consumed through diet. We recommend that the duration and frequency of this exercise is reduced. You still can maintain health by doing it.

To remember that during the first of 12 weeks of cardio exercise, muscles will not immediately increase. But it will be stronger because the muscles will contract more efficiently. After the first 3 months, continue the exercise by adding variations and increase the number of stretching exercises. Muscles will gradually increase the protein content experience, so more is formed.

Choose the exercise without weight but working on muscle groups. This is one simple way to build muscle mass. You can choose exercises like squats, dead lifts, bench presses, Barbell rows, pull ups and bar dips.

If using a load, choose a heavy load with low repetitions. Take time to rest about 3 minutes before moving to the next set.

Do exercise 2-3 times per part of the body and be sure to do physical exercise with duration less than one hour. Short but its intensity increased.

Divide your exercise. Because of thin, you usually have a high metabolic rate, then you need to increase the intensity, but reduce the frequency. The following distribution patterns can be your guide:

  • first day: Chest, shoulders, and triceps
  • second day: break
  • the third day: back and biceps
  • fourth day: rest
  • Fifth day: legs and abdomen
  • sixth day: rest
  • Seventh day: recess

Diets Program

to gain weight, you must consume more calories than you burn the body, so multiply your consumption. Eat like you’ve never done before, but be sure to avoid junk food like donuts and chips and candy. Nutritional experts recommend you to consume 300-500 extra calories a day. You can do this by adding a little food, and more often consume snacks. Choose foods high in calories and add more complex carbohydrates such as grains and soybeans, especially if you also add a sports activity.

Begin eating 6 times a day (eat every 3 hours). This was declared effective way of increasing weight.

Add your intake of protein and subtract intake of simple carbohydrates. The body will use protein to build new muscles.
