If your cardio for weight increase?
I was asked to do cardio workouts to increase your weight. I was surprised, because cardio is known as a way to lose weight, not to get.
At first I thought that my answer is not more than one line needs, but then I thought, that it can be to this question and it deserves a clarification.
Let us first talk about the training itself. It is true that a kind of training you can gain weight. That may be true for strength training, where you build muscle mass. If you add more muscle to your body can increase your weight, reduce body fat while you can.
Secondly, there is simply no way that the real cardio workout that will increase in weight. Since weight gain requires more calories than you burn, you can see, that makes it harder for your Cardiovascular gain weight.
But this is not the whole story and it is an indirect way you can gain weight, the heart is concerned.
What can happen and is probably the reason I asked this question in the first place that many people to their advantage to remove the exercise by eating too many calories tend thereafter. Or they feel very hungry after training, or whether they are psychologically justified in eating more than they should. This is called post-training and compensation can be large enough to actually undo all the calories you burned during the workout itself.
In some cases you can, so you actually consume more calories than you eat to burn during the workout. If you consider that, if the heart can make you fat, actually. Otherwise you will not lose weight.
So, you do not have to increase cardio to weights. Their dietary habits.
