How to Gain Weight… From Muscle & Not Fat  Muscle on women is sexy as hell, if you don’t believe me look here and here… and you’re probably admiring the women in the photo up there! Read on, this is long, but worth it. These same principles apply for anyone that wants to gain muscle not just skinny/small people. How do I put on muscle weight? First and foremost, you need to do strength training. If you want to gain weight, and don’t want it to be fat, it needs to be muscle, and muscle growth is stimulated by training those muscles. Arm muscle looks fantastic, training glutes gives you an ass like no other, back muscles look sexy in backless dresses, and core will give you a rock-solid foundation. Strength training is most effective with weights which is easy at a gym, but not so much at home. If you’re at home, grab an empty gallon of milk and fill it with water, which will weigh about 8lbs. Then, try these: Assorted exercises on my blog, here and my personal workout is here Blogilates divided by area that can be done at home Similarly, Tone It Up and P90X can be done at home Bodybuilding.com is where I go to learn about exercises at the gym and proper form Secondly, you need to eat more - especially protein. Muscles aren’t made of magic, they’re made of surplus calories from protein, carbs, and fat.  Typically 1-1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight is a good guideline.Try with a 500 calorie surplus and experiment increasing (or decreasing a little) as needed.  If you don’t believe me that you won’t get fat instead, I don’t know how to convince you! I can, however show you this girl who gained 10 lbs of muscle while weight training and eating 2500 calories a day.  To reach this calorie goal, consider drinking a lot of milk, almond milk, or coconut milk instead of water. Liquid doesn’t fill you up as much, and provides you healthy carbs, fats, and protein. Protein shakes and smoothies are amazing too. Snack on calorie dense foods. Eat nuts such as almonds, cashews, and peanuts throughout the day. Also try eating two tablespoons of peanut butter a few hours after every meal (it won’t affect your hunger).  Again, I’m not a professional anything, this is just what I’ve learned from experience and the internets. If you have any questions, ask me here: http://sweatsalty.tumblr.com

How to Gain Weight… From Muscle & Not Fat 

Muscle on women is sexy as hell, if you don’t believe me look here and here… and you’re probably admiring the women in the photo up there! Read on, this is long, but worth it.

halfhissize: Get Your Best Legs First know that you can’t reduce fat in just one place. Your body takes a little bit of fat from everywhere, more or less in some places due to your genetics. Doing a ton of leg exercises isn’t necessarily going to make all that fat disappear, at least not by itself. We do these exercises to shape and tone the muscles so your legs have a great shape. If you aren’t eating healthy and doing cardio those sexy muscles are going to be hidden no matter how many squats you do. Gaining muscle helps, it increases the metabolism thus burning more calories, but you have to work the rest of your body and have a clean diet too. Try to do one video or pick five exercises and do 3 sets of 8-12 reps (or until you feel the burn) about 3-4 days a week. Do cardio 3-5 days a week too, it can be running, biking, swimming, Zumba, kickboxing, whatever gets your heart pounding and sweat dripping. You can combine strength workouts and cardio into the same day if you want. Make sure to eat protein after your workouts, it helps build muscle! These are, in my opinion, the best thigh and leg exercises and videos. I’ve included links to instructions for most of the exercises and a variety that you can do at home or at the gym. If you workout at home try to get some 8-10 lbs dumbbells, or get a backpack/duffel bag and fill it with heavy books to challenge yourself. If you have access to a gym try these machines & equipment: the leg/hamstring curl machine the leg press machine the leg abductor/adductor machines squats with a barbell and/or dumbbells barbell deadlifts  lunges with dumbbells bulgarian split squat If you don’t have access to a gym try these exercises at home: wall squats jump squats bridge/hip lifts (try them with your feet on a chair/bed) hip lifts on a balance ball (you’ll get an almost instant burn!) leg lifts inner thigh lifts the fire hydrant sumo squats suicides These are my favorite leg videos: Inner Thigh Insanity Slimmer Inner Thighs Legs & Thighs Workout Itty Bitty Bikini Long Lean Legs Workout POP Kicks Kickboxing Bikini Beach Bum Tone It Up Legs & Core wow this is me… I keep popping up in other peoples’ posts, this is so weird! for the record, I don’t really ever work out my legs… I do a massive amount of walking in day to day life though

Reblogging because it’s a great idea to sneak some toning exercises into your day!!

SHOWER WORKOUT!

So, you take long showers. I bet you just stand there when you’re washing your hair. Why not squat to pass the time? This is a great excuse to tone your glutes & quads during everyday activities.

I do 15 squats while I’m rinsing the shampoo out of my hair, then another 10 squats while I let the conditioner soak into my hair (I highly recommend doing this! It makes my hair feel lovely).

DISCLAIMER: I highly discourage you from doing jumping jacks, high knees, and crunches in the shower, unless you’re really adventurous! Be careful not to slip :)

 Water is important for almost all bodily functions and it is great for helping keep hunger in check.  It should be the only beverage you are drinking.  Anything with artificial flavors does not count as water.  The only exception to this is herbal teas.

sweatsalty: How I Grocery Shop This is my master grocery list, which means that I always have these in my pantry/fridge. I have this list saved in my phone as a note, so that when I’m in the grocery store I run through it to check if I have it all at home.I usually buy my berries & seasonal produce at local farmer’s markets, they’re always fresher & sometimes cheaper. Also, I don’t really eat bread/grains/cereal unless it’s really good or I have no other option… I just don’t like it! What I buy all depends on season too. See seasonal chart here. Tips: Always go with a list! Shop the perimeter! This typically contains the produce, dairy, meat, deli, and frozen section. Inside the “perimeter” you are more likely to stray: the candy aisle, the juice/drinks aisle, and the snacks aisle are all bad places to buy the majority of your groceries Look for what is on sale & stock up if it’s non-perishable When choosing packaged produce, look at the “Use by” date and choose the longest. Check all fruits & veggies for bruises, scratches, & mold. Yuck! Buy frozen petite peas, berries (for smoothies or baking), and bell peppers. They’re always cheaper & there isn’t much difference. Try to not over-buy, know how long each fruit/veggie will last & don’t waste it! Because produce goes off so quickly I go grocery shopping 2+ times a week. This is usually what it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! There is a printable list here.

How I Grocery Shop

This is my master grocery list, which means that I always have these in my pantry/fridge. I have this list saved in my phone as a note, so that when I’m in the grocery store I run through it to check if I have it all at home.
I usually buy my berries & seasonal produce at local farmer’s markets, they’re always fresher & sometimes cheaper. Also, I don’t really eat bread/grains/cereal unless it’s really good or I have no other option… I just don’t like it!

What I buy all depends on season too. See seasonal chart here.

Tips:

  • Always go with a list!
  • Shop the perimeter! This typically contains the produce, dairy, meat, deli, and frozen section.
  • Inside the “perimeter” you are more likely to stray: the candy aisle, the juice/drinks aisle, and the snacks aisle are all bad places to buy the majority of your groceries
  • Look for what is on sale & stock up if it’s non-perishable
  • When choosing packaged produce, look at the “Use by” date and choose the longest.
