Proper Weightlifting shouldn't be done 7 days a week. You may work different parts of your body every day but your muscles need time to repair after each weight lift routine. The average person who weight lifts does it 3 times a week. If you did that for a year, yes you would see results.

Will lifting weights one week then body weight exercises the next week be okay?
I want to gain bigger muscles in all areas (such as arms,legs, calves and abs, etc.) by lifting weights (not to body builder size of course), but i also don't want to lose my ability to do; push ups, chin ups, etc. so would i still benefit from lifting weights one week, then doing gymnastic type exercises and lots more cardio the next week. Also if anyone has any good workout routines (either weights, or body weight) including running, whether it be circuit training or anything, as i want to have a good anaerobic and aerobic system. Thanks in advance!
You cant do pushups at all what exercises will help you to be able to?
Have you tried to do the easier form of pushups? Instead of supporting yourself on your hands and feet while on in a plank-like position, you support yourself on your knees and hands. It still works on your arm strength, but it is much easier than regular ones. If that doesn't work, I would suggest that you do some easy lifting. If you have small weights of 3 or 5 pounds, try lifting those with many repititions. Gradually, your muscles will get more toned. If you don't have weights, lift everyday objects like books or cans of soup. I already weight lift. This includes about 12 reps and 3 sets per exercise. i bench 80lbs and do others.
