But this won’t happen right away. It will take you at least a month or two to add any lean muscle mass that would show up in your weight.Strength training increases your muscle mass and metabolism, which tends to lower your body fat and ultimately your jeans size. If you are overweight, you are likely to lose weight slowly, and if you are underweight, you may gain some weight. Strength training provides a valuable way to regulate your weight at a healthy level.
Strength Training Workouts Although strength training builds muscle, it’s not likely you’re packing on the pounds just because of weight training. Muscle grows at a rate of about one to two pounds per month, and weight loss can occur at a rate of one to two pounds per week.Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain? 1. Water Retention After Exercise Water can alter your weight by as much as 10 pounds (or more). Think you just lost a 2. Weight Gain Immediately After a Workout A lot of factors can influence your weight—including your workouts.
According to Phillips, studies show that women can expect to gain one to two pounds of muscle over the first four to six months of training while men can put on two to four pounds of lean mass during this time. Some people, however, will gain a lot more and others will gain less or nothing at all due, likely, to their genetic predisposition.When they start lifting weights and strength training because they quickly build muscle before they start to lose the fat surrounding the muscle. When this happens their first instinct is to stop doing whatever they think is making them bigger. I know a lot of women who have stopped working out because they think they’re getting bigger.
Without resistance training, about one-fourth of any weight you lose will come from muscle instead of fat, so it’s important not to skip this type of exercise. Of course, if you eat too many calories, your exercise may lead you to gain muscle without losing weight, and this could also explain your weight gain.Exercise causes micro tears and inflammation, two culprits the temporary weight gain. Muscles repair damaged tissues through protein synthesis, which requires water retention. In order to properly heal the tears, the body retains fluid in the area.
Voila we’ve explained your temporary weight gain.Strength is the ability to produce force, and since you are adding weight every workout, you will be getting stronger because you are intentionally forcing this adaptation.Weight lifting improves strength and endurance, reduces risk of injury, enhances athletic performance, strengthens bones and joints, lowers blood pressure and helps you lose fat. While some people strive to lose weight and enhance fitness, others strive to increase muscle mass, which can lead to strength training weight gain.Studies have shown that strength training increases the endurance of your muscles.[30] In fact, resistance training and weight training not only help to tune up an out of shape nervous system and increase the activation of motor units within your muscles, but.

Yesss love this message!
I’m stuck in two boots right now as a result of chronic cardio — mostly running and biking with zero days for strength training OR rest.
When I’m back walking I’m going to revamp my fitness program and not take moving for granted!!
Carolyn, does the hurt foot program on your website include videos that aren’t on YouTube? They’ve been so helpful!
Also any experience with PTTD? Not sure if I should avoid leg lifts, etc
Literally impossible by basic mass/energy conservation laws.
I gained 7 pounds last month. I dont enjoy my training or food anymore. My weights affected my health and it’s not going down. Ive doubled my body fat since 2015 and I’m going through periods of fat gain despite not overeating. I feel its slowing down my metabolism and my diet is starvation 1800 for someone my weight. 1000 cal deficit but weight is gained anyway.
Is it something like the saying “you can’t outrun a bad diet?” Too much cardio causes more eating bc of the increased energy demands?
I can go for a 30 minute bike ride and I instantly gain 1 pound. Been doing cardio 3 times a week for 3 weeks and I’ve gained 5 pounds. I think it’s “water weight” but it’s annoying as hell.
No wonder…that explains.
Thank you for the informative video!!!
When I was a cardio junky I was sick and tired all the time. It also took away my sex drive and made me skinny-fat. I do almost ZERO cardio now and I’m 10x stronger, I feel better, and my strength workouts GIVE me energy while cardio ROBS me of energy.
What you say makes a lot of sense but you say it too many times. Not trying to be rude but get to the point.
This was just amazing! I watched the whole video! Thank you for sharing, please keep sharing!
My favorite is the awkward 3 seconds of dead air at the start lol
The best bodies of the gym are the people who only lifts weight, male or female.
How do you keep the high? Thats me! I’m not a nice person without my daily high incline��
what about low impact like walking or under the desk exercises where you don’t even break a sweat but you are moving all day
I became obsessed I mean obsessed with steady state3 hours walking treadmill and 1 hour yoga every day. I’m working with psychologist.
Will I gain weight by stopping this cardio as now I am in a caloric deficit? I will start implementing weight training
When I went from doing fullbody three times a week, and tons of cardio. To working out once a week, and casually walking, I lost 4 inches off my waste. My blood pressure went down. And I feel much better. If you are someone with average genetics, the biggest mistake you can make is overtraining. Your cortisol levels go through the roof. And your body produces body fat.
Omg! This is the best knowledge that I’ve come into. I have gained 20 lbs in 1 year and I work out 4-6 times a week sometimes twice a day and I eat a clean 1500 calorie a day diet. I’m becoming really sad because of the weight gain as that was not the intent. So now, I just started only walking a slow stroll 30 minutes a day. Im not stressed; I live a great life so I’m not sure what is meant by being stressed.
So did you just bump up all at once to 2500cal?
Congrats on listening to and loving your body! It can be so scary! You look wonderful both ways!
Hi Caroline I am a runner, 25-30 mpw, currently injured with a 2nd metatarsal stress fracture. I run 4-5days and strength train 2-3 days (2 days regularly with a trainer, 1 on my own). I lost 60lbs and have gained back 25lbs in the last 3 years. I am seeing a nutritionist who increased my calories (counter intuitive). In the tests she took my cortisol levels were extremely low. In the last year the cortisol level has come up a bit but not enough. Do you think this is also related to too much cardio?
I used to do too much cardio like running 1 hour a day when i stop because I didn’t have much time anymore, I gained weight so fast.
Great video!
Hi Caroline! I am currently injured, my hip flexor and ITB hurts and resting from running for almost 3 weeks. Your chair cardio helps me a lot. So do you consider this is also cardio and should only do like 3 times per week? And other days can I do your floor barrer as a strength training?
I used to run a lot and always had pain on my right leg. Then I reduced only 3 times/week run plus other cardio(swim or bike)plus strength training and no injury. But I start to do more cardio (because I can’t loose weight after baby#3!!) and injured. So sad.
Anyway thanks for the great advice!
What a wonderful video! feeling good is what is most important. Thanks so much!! Strong is the new skinny ��
Guilty as charged! What great info and your videos are awesome. I’ve been doing your hurt foot workout series and when I’m better I’m staying with you:)
What if you don’t have access to a gym? Are bands good? Body weight exercise?
Thank you so much. I started a lifestyle change 51 weeks ago and have lost 130 lbs. However, the last three weeks I’ve had steady weight gain. I started at 450 lbs and jog a hiking trail 5 days a week performing 120 push-ups and squats throughout on Tuesday and Thursday. I’m in pain the rest of the day and have started dreading the workouts. I thought that if a little helps then a shit ton will be best.
Hey, loved this video! I wish I saw this years ago.:)
I do take group exercise classes, but I go to yoga every other day.. whoops, is that too much?:o
60/30/10 = good time ratios of stretches/weights/cardio for optimum health IMO ��
I was 57kg and I started working out and I FREAKING GAINED 2 KG!!!!!!!!!! I’m so sad:(
I’m gonna stop working and out
I think I do too much cardio.:( It’s because I feel like I need to burn calories to reach my activity goals on my apple watch. Do you have any tips? I don’t go crazy with cardio but I feel like I have to keep doing it to burn “enough”
I’m really glad I found this. I started spinning regularly again a year ago, and at first I was LOVING what it was doing for my body. Here we are a year later, and I’m definitely not feeling the same ways. I haven’t changed anything including my good eating habits. There are times I would spin 4 days in a row. I just kept thinking that because a year ago that was working so well, how could it not be now? I’m so frustrated. I love it and don’t want to give it up. I’m just not comfortable in my skin right now. I had blood work taken and found my vitamin D levels were low so I’ve started the supplement for that as well as being more serious about taking a multivitamin. But somethings got to give!
Hello Caroline, I’m a 16 year old male who started to work out about 3 months ago to lose excess fat. The first 2 months I saw major improvement, but im currently stuck. I’m 144lb and my routine is 15-20 jog, a 30 minute walk, 45 minute mild swim, and some mild weight and bodyweight training about 4-6 times a week. I have the so called “stubborn belly fat” and Im frustrated. Do you think that Im doing too much cardio?
Great content, I also have fatigue and a brain fog. Have no idea how to fix it, decided to start from sport and a diet.
