Although aerobic exercise burns calories and can cause weight loss, it's still an important part of a healthy lifestyle.  Aerobic exercise has many health benefits including improved sleep, improved moods and better control of high blood pressure or diabetes.  It's typically recommended to do about 2.5 hours of cardio activities each week.  Stick to low to moderate intensity activities to help support your weight gain. Try:  walking or a slow jog, a leisurely bike ride, hiking or swimming. When you're gaining weight, strength training can help you gain muscle mass instead of all fat mass.  Regular resistance training or strength training can help build lean muscle mass.  This is typical more ideal than gaining all fat mass. Do about 2-3 days of light weight strength training.  You may want to try yoga, pilates or use light free weights. If you're having difficulty gaining or maintaining your weight, focus on increasing your baseline activities instead of cardio and strength training.  Baseline or lifestyle activities are the exercises that you already do in your normal daily routine.  For example:  walking to and from your car or doing household chores. These types of activities do not typically burn many calories or cause weight loss, but do show to have some health benefits. Increase your baseline activity by taking more steps in your day or walking more frequently, taking the stairs rather than the elevator or parking farther away.
