Cardio

    After being ill I am trying to ease myself back into exercise and I was wondering how much cardio is sufficient to maintain overall health while trying to put on some weight.

    My weight went from 78kg to 49kg. My weight is currently at 58/59kg and I aiming to get to 70kg by January. Hopefully.

    I was thinking 5 x 30 mins steady state cardio sessions is sufficient plus I am always on my bike going to the shops etc is enough. What do you guys think? Should I even be attempting cardio while trying to put on weight?

    Thanks for the advice.

    Yes to cardio, also yes to more food if needed.

    You can keep up cardio but instead of focusing on always doing steady cardio, throw in intervals, hills, etc. It's important to switch it up and intervals with sprints and hills adds to more muscular legs which can in turn increase weight. Definitely increase protein intake to increase weight and you may have to increase your portions as well but still be sure what you eat is clean and healthy to not just put on fat.
