you shouldn't be on the same workout plan for over six weeks, for starters. you need to periodize your routine, change it up at least every 4 weeks. that will not only keep it more interesting, but it will also force your muscles to grow more, because if you're doing the same thing for 6 weeks at a time, your muscles have long since adapted & are not being challenged, and therefore are not growing. if you're trying to gain weight, have you tried a lean bulking diet? if not let me know & I will be more than happy to send you one that I've put people on & they've had great success (I've never done it simply because I've never tried to bulk, being a female, I just don't want to do that personally). Also, what kind of routine do you normally do???

I don't think that the length of time is too much. However, I suggest taking at least one day of in your 5 day heavy workout (like day 3) to rest. Your body needs to rejuvenate.

If I were you I'd join a bootcamp and increase exercise in the early morning and then follow that up with another 1.5 hours of more cardio and weights during the day. \n\nHere are some golden rules to getting leaner & building stamina: \nInitially cut down your fat intake to 30 gram and calories to 1600-1800 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for at least 1.5 hours a day. \nDo three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nExercise must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running (do it uphills as well), rowing, stairmaster, boxing and double spin sessions. Include running up a stair well or sand dunes. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nWhen you get to the gym after stretching do this everyday and time it. Your aim is to beat your time each day there is no recovery time between each set so run to the next peice of equipment: \n1) 1km run incline 3 as fast as you can\n2) 2km bike ride level 10 as fast as you can\n3) 1km row level 10 as fast as you can\n4) Stepper - 30 stairs as fast as you can\n\nAs you get fitter double the time so do 2kms not 1kms for each exercise and time it and so forth. Increase the levels and go hard. Do your weights straight after. You will burn over 300 calories just doing the above for 15 minutes not bad hah!\n\nYou will get fitter very quickly and definately build stamina.

Depends on your goal and the current state of your body.\n\nIf your bodyfat percentage is less than 15% then you should concentrate on adding muscle. This means doing moderate cardio (not more than 3 times a week) and more weight training. Eat enough protein (at least 1g per lb of bodyweight). \n\nIf fat% is more towards the 20's then High Intensity Intervel Cardio for 20-25 min a a day is the answer. This should be done at least 5 days a week. Weight traininig is important too. Try not to do them in the same session as this is too taxing on the body.

you should see results anywhere from 4-6 weeks if not sooner based on diet.

I used to be a trainer at a gym awhile back and what I used to tell my clients is that they would feel their improvements long before they would see them. Little things at first like finding it easier to breathe, pants would fit better, maybe they would be sleeping better. It's important before beginning such a program to gather data like weight, maybe a fat pincher test, take a few measurements, and definetly take pictures. Initially, you'll need this data to keep motivated, but within 2 to 4 weeks you should see some results. Sometimes it's good to have others help with this in the early stages.

No fast method. All the quick ways invite later health hazards.\n\nYou do work out which emphasis on resitiance training. Eat protein rich food. If you are really serious in weight trainig take protein supplements too.\n\nThis will gain weight and make you fit too.\n\nHave a nice day.

The strategy: Try to build up to five or six days a week of aerobic exercise, 30 to 60 minutes per session. When shedding weight is the priority (why build muscle if you're going to conceal it under a layer of flab?), your main focus should be aerobic work and calorie monitoring. "A low- or moderate-calorie diet and a lot of cardio time will drop the pounds," says Rubenstein. "But remember, some of that weight loss will inevitably be muscle tissue."\n\nWatch out: Hours of weekly endurance work will trigger a duster of metabolic adaptations that tend to deflate and weaken those strength-and-power fast-twitch muscle fibers, making it harder to lift heavy weights. Meanwhile, your smaller, conditioning-oriented slow-twitch fibers will take on a more dominant role.\n\nThe bottom line: Find time to hit the weights. How often? You won't lose too much muscle as long as you fit two moderate weight-training sessions a week around all those cardio workouts. Schedule one to three days between weight workouts (Wednesday and Saturday, for example). Target both the upper body and the lower body each session.

NO, The most important thing is that what exercise program you are following? and for what reason? How much weight have you gain? whats your age? whats your height? Generally in 7 days of a vigorous exercise program you can gain a slight muscle mass but not the weight which bothers you.

If you've never done any weights start with the 15 pounders and after a week increase to the 20's,more reps build muscle rather than bulk, but make sure you don't do arms everyday! you can really get hurt that way,group muscles need 72 hrs. between workouts.

It seems you still have a lot to learn.  I am not being insulting.  There is a lot to know about working-out, deit including.\n\nThe short answer is you will start to see a difference in your own body whithin a week or two.  It can take about 2 to 3 months for others to notice.\n\nThink about working out differently.  Working-out is a way of life.  After about two weeks to one month, you will become comfortabel working out.  Be sure to do the exercise correctly, do not start with too much weight.  Just consentrate on doing the exercise right.  You will gain more stregnth faster this way.  If you do too much weight at the beginning, it will take you longer to get stronger, and you will see less progress.  Do not skip work-outs.  Be sure you streach before and after work-outs; this is important for proper muscle development.  Most people skip the streaching part of the work out, and they do not get the results or they hurt themselves.\n\nThere are several must do's in working out.\n 1.  No longer than 30 minutes after a work-out, drink a protine drink.  You do not have to do a meal replacement proting drink, they are much more expensive.\n  2.  Cycle your protine drinks and other supplements; 2 months on, one month off.\n  3.  Intensity of your work out will determin how fast you grow.  Caffine can help, but in the long run it hurts you.  You can get better results not to take energy drinks.  Take a Carbohydrate drink 30 minutes before the work-out, slowly warm up, then do your work-out.  This works.\n  4.  Aerobics every day of the week will help you with weight and your cut.\n  5.  When you cut, you do less weight and high reps.  This cuts your muscles.  When you are ready for this step, you should have read enough about working-out to know exactly what to do.\n  6.  Do not talk to anybody during your work-out except you're work-out partner.  Talking waists time.  Get out there, do the job, get it over with, then talk if you want.  This is a selfish sport.  In this sport, you are the only one that matters.\n\nWorking out has many different phases.  First your body has to get used to lifting wieghts.  Then comes the building phase.  Finally, comes the cut phase if you want it.\n\nYou need to read a lot about working out and dieting.  Sorry, there is no getting out of it.  Lifting weights and dieting is different for everybody.  There is no one way around this.  Magizines can help;however, you need to buy a real book and read it.  Stay active in working-out for 6 months and you will like what you see.  Weight-lifting is not for the weak of mind.\n\nYou're age is now working against you.  You are 22, so you're body heals itself quickly.  People I know your age work out 2 times a day on the same muscle group.  That is 2 times a day on a 4 day work-out scheluel.  Monday is a push day, Tuesday is a pull day, Wednes day is an off day.  Repeat on Thursday and Friday; take the weekend off.\n\nPush is excercises that you push\nPull is exercises that you pull.\n\nThere are some small muscles you will need to strengthen before you can go up in weight for some exercises.  You have to read.  You can easily hurt yourself otherwise.  I hurt myself several times.  It took me a year each time to recover.  I read everything I could get my hands on, and now I do everything completely different, and I am the size I want to be.  The picture you see in my profile is 2 years old.\n\nDo not worry about what everybody else is doing.  Take care of yourself and do YOU'RE work-out.  You will catch up soon enough with everybody.\n\nRead, read, read.\n\nTalk to someone that is big and looks like he knows what he is doing.  Show him what I wrot to you.  This person will say that there is also a lot more to working out.

"At your age you should see results quickly. Your diet is as important as the number of sets you do. Eat lean and try to do 15-20 minutes of abs 5 days a week. Be sure to work all parts of your abs. Check out some pilates too."\n\nYeah this person is correct with most of the information, however you may want to work on different muscle groups on different days, if you work on abs like crunches 24/7 your body wont have time to heal and build muscle, it takes 48 hours to build muscle so do ab workouts about every 2 days for about 20-25 minutes a day, and a cardio workout.\nHell if your going for abs you might as well go all the way and get your whole body fit.

In my experience it would be best if you could do like 15 min of cardio before weight training and 15 min after.

A week is not long enough to see results.  You need to carry on and keep enjoying your new lifestyle.  It has taken years to put on the weight so at least give it a few months to take it off again.  I think they say to aim for a pound a week to be healthy.  Also remember that muscle weighs more than fat so be prepared for some weeks to go up again and don't get discouraged, keep going.

what results are you looking for? weight loss? muscle gain? looking "cut"? \n\nAre you doing both cardio and weights?\n\nIf you are looking for weight-loss results, you will begin to see results quicker with a proper diet. Obviously, the more overweight you are the quicker/dramtic you will see results, which will then taper off.\n\nIf you are looking for muscle gain, then results will really begin to show after a month. Usually, you won't notice them before then but someone who doesn't see you often might. You will at least notice your strength increase. Of course, proper diet helps (adding protein, etc.)
