When you are undertaking aerobic exercises your body muscles usually get depleted in the process. When you are training aerobically the body will use proteins to generate the energy needed to facilitate the intense training. What most people don’t know is that a person’s body usually alternates between the state of anabolism and catabolism. This process is referred to as protein turnover which basically means the process of how your body switches between catabolism and anabolism process. When you are still living you cannot be able to do without these two processes. Since your body must undertake the two processes the only option you have left is to ensure that the process of catabolism is not more than the process of anabolism. For this to take place you need to ensure that you build your muscles constantly. Aerobic exercises are not as effective as weight training exercises when it comes to building your muscles. Weight training on the other hand has the capability of helping you enhance anabolism through increasing your body muscles. When you do a lot of cardio exercises you are more likely to start losing your body muscles. You need to avoid performing excess cardio exercises for this reason. When you perform too much cardio exercises, you are only going to tip the scale to fall toward catabolism.

It is a very difficult task to achieve weight gain especially if you are a hard gainer. Being skinny is no joke, especially if you are a teenager. I remember when I was growing up, my early teen years was a living nightmare. I got teased a lot about my weight to the point that my self esteem was quite low. I could not even approach a girl without hesitating, and this was the period when everyone was dating. I got lonely and depressed until one day I decided enough was enough and sulking was not going to give me the results I was looking for.
