Best Workout Routine for Men Weight Gain Workout Tips If you are aiming at weight gain, then you must be having a fast metabolism which doesn't allow you to put on weight. By following some effective diet, workout and other healthy tips you can put on weight. Along with following workout plans to gain weight, eat foods which are very rich in calories, that doesn't mean junk food but foods like dry fruits and nuts or peanut butter sandwich, etc. Eat 5 - 6 meals a day. Having a little snack half an hour or 45 minutes before workout will help to put on weight. Also, get enough rest, to avoid burning off all calories. Do a cardio of 15 - 20 minutes, and a lot of strength training for fast weight gain. As muscle mass weighs more than fat, so putting on muscles will help you weigh more on the scale. Workout for Weight Loss If you wish to lose weight fast, and have enough time, then consider working out twice a day. This will help to cut weight faster. Also, focus on intense cardio workouts for men like jump rope, elliptical trainer workout, running and swimming, as they help to burn calories faster. A bit of strength training is also a must as it will help to tone up. Also, cut down on junk foods and follow a nutritious diet. Endurance Training For endurance training, you need to do circuit training. This means you need to perform more sets of exercises without taking too many breaks. This will increase your stamina and muscle power. To increase your stamina following swimming and running workouts is recommended. Strength training using medium-sized weight without too many breaks is advised. Make sure you follow a healthy diet too, which provides you enough fuel for workout.
