Weight gain is more than eating and exercising. Here's what else you can do to make sure you get the most out of your workout without harming your body:
Get enough sleep. Aim for about six to eight hours a night. Reduce stress. Cortisol released by stress can cause you to gain unhealthy weight or even lose it back. Meditate, get a massage, or spend more time on your favorite hobbies. Reduce or stop bad habits. Quit drinking and try to quit smoking. This can be difficult, but your doctor can help you create a quit plan that's right for you. Set reasonable goals for yourself. Going too hard, too fast can burn you out and do more harm than good. Start small, increase the number of reps each time, and record your progress. Talk to your doctor, dietitian, or personal trainer about healthy weight gain. The holistic approach will give you the best results. Engage in a reasonable amount of exercise and regularly aim to build muscle, eat healthy fats and proteins, and build a lifestyle around rest, relaxation, and self-care.
