I recently joined gym and I wanna gain some weight. What are the cheap and best foods to consume?

Consider the following: Just “going to the gym” and eating “cheap food”, are not going to be healthy things to do, generally speaking. So, I’ll make my answer, a bit extensive. First and Foremost… HEALTHY Weight Gain means more contribution from Stronger and Bigger Muscles and Denser Bones, rather than from UnHealthy Fat.

Is it worth it for a man to do squats if he wants to lose weight from his hips?

Is it worth it for a man to do squats if he wants to lose weight from his hips?

Overtime, as you continue to lose Excess Body Fat, your problem areas (such as your hips, belly etc) will lose Fat too. Nutrition is BY FAR the MOST IMPORTANT aspect that needs to be looked at, if you need to reduce Excess Body Fat, (from anywhere in your body). You might…

This will largely depend on your Fitness Goals. Are you a Marathon Runner? Are you a Sprinter…? Do you have an Active Lifestyle? Do you have a Sedentary (Desk) Job? Answers to these questions might help in deciding more specific answers.
