Hey! I'm Kayla, I'm new here and new to the workout life. I'm trying to gain some weight and I would also love to start working on getting a nice toned body it doesn't have to be perfect but anything is better than nothing right? If anyone has any tips for starting out please fill free to add me or message me I would love some help on this journey as to I'm pretty clueless. Thanks

Pretty simple formula that works 100% if you do each of the following.

1. Eat in a small surplus.
2. Stimulate muscles with adequate stress.
3. Recover.
4. Provide adaptation for muscles through progressive overload.
5. Repeat until it's time to cut weight.

Following a proven structured lifting program entailing all the above will add muscle as well as strength.

Hey Kayla!

Knowledge is power. Start by teaching yourself proper exercises, technique, and form. If you want to build muscle, as Chieflrg said, eat in a small surplus and practice progressive overload. Consistency is key! Stay motivated!! Welcome and feel free to ask any questions.

Hi Kayla ! Welcome!
I agree with what Steve mentioned. Consistency is key! Make exercise and eating healthy a habit and it'll be a breeze rather than feel like a restriction. Once something is a habit you stop having to "decide" to go workout. You just go. Not sure if this makes sense or not haha.

If you are a beginner, I find it best to follow a program, which program you choose depends solely on your goals. Whatever the program, make sure it teaches good form first. Should help keep you motivated and progressively see results. Remember, diet is still the most important thing.
