Very helpful tool :D
advice
So lately I've been gaining a lot of weight. Which is a good thing, I gained 10 lbs in a few months when usually I only gain 10 lbs in a year. Now I'm about 110 lbs and I'm really glad that I'm gaining weight and hopefully my body is filling out better. However, I want to start working out and get in shape so when I gain more weight I won't look fat and I can have healthy exercise habits. I don't wanna lose any weight I just want to gain muscle and look fit. So what kind of work out routines can I have that will get me flat abs and nice legs while keeping the weight on? And if I start to lose weight after working out for a while, should I just start eating more? Do I really have to worry about calorie intake and all that? Thanks!
I would recommend you take a look at this site. It tells you how many reps and sets you need to do in order to build muscle when using weight machines or exercising. http://exercise.about.com/cs/exerciseworkouts/a/weight101_3.htm
In summary: To gain muscle: 3+ sets of 6-8 reps to fatigue. For beginners, give yourself several weeks of conditioning before going to this level.
I would say that you shouldn't worry as much about if you happen to lose some weight, because often gaining muscle is a long term process and can't be monitored day to day based on weight. However, I would say that you should eat within reason. You'll have to make sure you are taking in enough calories to allow your body to recover after working out. ALso eventually you'll have to start taking some protein in the form or shakes or bars because they do help your muscles re-cooperate.
Hope that helps!
