There are several issues to address in the question. Gain Weight It’s easy enough to gain body weight. But, we need to ensure that it is done in a healthy manner. We want to build more muscle (does not mean, we all look like Arnold Schwarzenegger). Need to get Stronger. This will automatically, get you to gain weight.

This is NOT possible. We can skew this towards MORE muscle growth, with a proper Training Program, and with Proper Nutrition.

Depending upon how much Belly Fat you have accumulated, it is not going to be possible to reduce all the extra Fat within one week…even if it were possible, it wouldn’t be healthy. Understand that it took a LONG TIME for the Extra Fat to accumulate and will take time to go away. No Exercise is going to accomplish this within one week. In fact, more than Exercise, you need to Concentrate more on Food. Remember, YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. And, before we delve into any discussion, if it only Belly Fat that you have accumulated (and not elsewhere), please get yourself screened IMMEDIATELY for Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes. Ok, continuing on… The following are my Recommendations to Reduce Extra Belly Fat, in a Healthy Manner…will likely take much more…

There are several different things you need to understand about this. 1. You need to understand Progressive Overload. What that means is, your body adapts to stress. So let’s say you started doing maybe 20push-ups. So, from zero push-ups, your body then got stressed when you did 20 push-ups and consequently, adapted to that by getting stronger (and slightly bigger). Then say you went to 30 and 40 and then to 50 push-ups. Your body adapted to these increases and got stronger and slightly bigger each time. However, now, since you are always doing 50 push-ups everyday, given the fact that you have already got adapted to 50 push-ups, your body needs to do nothing more. You understand, how this works now. So, you might try to do higher reps…
