The User's Routine

The user focused on 3-4 days a week of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and weight training 1-2 days per week. HIIT is great for burning fat and increasing metabolism, while weight training increases muscle mass and strength. By combining both, the user was able to gain 10 pounds in a year.

Tips for Success

Along with a consistent workout routine, having a supportive community can greatly increase the chances of success. This can be in the form of a workout partner, online forum, or even a fitness app. Additionally, tracking progress through measurements and photos can help to stay motivated and see progress over time.

Conclusion

This Reddit user's weight gain journey using HIIT and weight training serves as inspiration for others looking to achieve their weight loss goals.
