idk how in the world you could gain weight... its only "cardio" which means maximum bloodflow through the body.......

the only workouts that will allow you to "gain" weight are the aerobic activities like pushups, pullups, anything that has to do with shit like weights etc. etc.

Gaining weight is done by eating more calories than you burn. Simply put, he is eating too much / not working hard enough.

If you don't want to eat less, then start a fat-burning routine (stretch, run a mile, walk a quarter of a mile, stretch, work out, walk a mile, stretch, every day...this will prevent your legs from being as sore [as a tradeoff with "more tired"], and will allow you to burn much more since you won't hold yourself back).


In terms of cardio workouts not building muscle, however, that isn't true.


While the workout is inherently cardio-based, any time you stress your body more than previously, you build muscle. Jumping as hard as you possibly can, while being primarily cardio-based, will build leg muscle. The Insanity workout prides itself on being a "total-body" workout every day, and it will build all parts of your body every day.

While, yes, some days primarily focus on one aspect (e.g. the Cardio Circuit), they will build muscle if done correctly.

What you eat doesn't matter so much as how much you eat relative to how much work you do. You can "exercise" for two hours a day, eating nothing but bread and butter and still consume more calories than you burn. I would suggest this:


Stretch. Lightly run around a track. Stride your legs out, like you're trying to take really long steps (this paces you to make sure you aren't running too fast or slow). When you can't run any more, start walking.

Remember where you stopped running.

Walk until 5 minutes after you feel rested again. *note* You should continue running until you have to stop. Don't think, "I will run X laps..." Just run as long as you can. If that's a mile, or a quarter of a mile, the purpose is the same. If you feel like you can run further, run faster. The idea is to sweat and to make yourself tired.

For the next week, continue doing that. Stop at the exact same place.


Every week, go twenty to thirty feet further. If you think you can go further, trying for a lap, or two laps, or three laps, don't do it.

Continue until you can run 2-3 miles with ease. Then you can move into other more aggressive running programs.


The key is to build up to whatever you want, and to do it slowly.

Yes, most people /could/ train really hard and run 3 miles after training for perhaps two weeks. However, the issue then is in continuing with their running. If they don't have the true endurance, the physical and mental endurance to make themselves get up and run every day, they won't keep that up. It wouldn't be a year before they had stopped running completely (in most cases).

Getting in shape is to push yourself hard when you need to.

Staying in shape is to push yourself when you don't need to.

man ur gettin them abs i can see them

Everyone has abs, it's a matter of burning off your fat so that they can be seen.

And, to the original poster, I want you to tell me how many of the dirty dozen you can do.

How to do a dirty dozen:

do a push-up (chest to floor, arms as close to your body as you can). After your pushup, get on your knees and put your arms by your sides. Once you're on your knees, lift your arms as high as you can over your head, and all the way back down to your sides (do this fluidly, but no slowly). Once your arms are back down, immediately go back into the pushup position.

do two push-ups (the same way as before), and do two of the same arm lifts (go all the way back down for each one). Again, go back into the pushup position.

3 push-ups, 3 arm lifts.
4 push-ups, 4 arm lifts.
5 push-ups, 5 arm lifts.

All the way up until 12 push-ups and 12 arm lifts. Don't take any breaks in between sets, start them immediately after the one before. Make it continuous. You shouldn't stop moving for more than a second or two when you're getting up on/off your knees and putting your arms by your sides.

Good luck. Let us know what you get to.
