My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

5. You should be eating something every 2 to 2.5 hours.

Note: Don't take any supplement without consulting a renowned physician.

EXERCISE for Underweight

Diet alone will never lead to propitious outcomes. Your success is hinged upon the correct
combination of diet and exercise.

1. Professional gym is the best place to be in order to gain weight. Strength training exercises are
very important to give you muscle and volumes to your overall weight

2. If you can't go to a gym, perform strength training exercises like surya namaskar, pushups, and
sit-ups at home.
3. Contrary to the existing belief, cardio is also a must to keep the balance of the body intact. 30
mints of slow walking or cycling (slow cardio) 3-4 times a week is recommended.

4. Focus on full body exercises than individual muscle groups.

5. It is advised not to club cardio and muscle training together. If you are doing muscle training in the
evening, do some cardio in the morning and vice versa.

Just keep calm. Gaining weight is not that difficult as it seems to be. It is just a matter of few days
and you will be able to see genuine results. Multitudes have been benefited by this regime and now
it is your turn.
