Too skinny? Tone up?

5'8" and 112? Certainly don't lose any more.

lift weights while SLIGHTLY increasing calories by maybe 150-200 Calories a day.

Try this for a month then re-*kitten* calorie needs and continue.

Lift weights

But she'll get too bulky like a man!!

lmfao

Yeah people say some mean stuff.
Were the same height, at my skinniest I was 120 pounds and to be honest looking back at the photos I didnt look great. I have a medium sized frame so I did look underfed. We dont all carry weight the same way though.
Really though, it's about health, are you healthy because that's what really matters.

At 112, you are definitely very slim. Forgetting what others say about you, are you happy with yourself? Do you like how your body looks and feels, do you have plenty of energy, no health problems? If you are happy and healthy, then you don't need to change.

But if you are not, then add calories and strength training.

When did the OP ever insinuate this?

He's being 'funny'

He's that cute but annoying 18 year old brother that keeps giving you a dead arm and telling you you've got a fat *kitten*.

I quite like him though, because he's honest.

Eh. Okay.

Maybe find an exercise that you like?
Also, like yourself the way you are. No one has the right to judge you or label you like that. When people make comments like that to me I usually end up feeling badly for them. It's not personal, it's about them.

Her BMI is 16.7... Even if she is happy with her body, this is not really healthy. It can be harmful for her.... I think she needs to put on weight... this is my view.

So because she has a low BMI, she can't be healthy? People can't naturally have a low bmi and be healthy?

There is such a thing as TOO SKINNY.

holy cow guys, most of you get off track and start to argue and it completely defeats the purpose of the post!

I agree, and while people should be happy with their bodies, there are some in this thread who are advocating potentially dangerous behavior. I simply can't abide by that.

OP are you part of a gym? if so, most gyms offer one free personal training session; see if yours does. they will ask you your personal goals and show you exercises to tone up. If not, join one! or, look in your community for different classes. Boot camps are awesome. I would up your calories a little bit.

This is good advice. Though I never had a chance to go to any gym classes. It's very important to have someone show you proper form, especially when working with free weights.

No, you will not get bulky like a man so dont ever think that.

^^^^. There are guys here who struggle to attain the calories and workout hard enough to get 'bulky'. If you are female you have much less muscle building hormones. Furthermore, muscle building is a slow, iterative process. You simply are not going to do some curls and wake up muscle bound the next day. You will notice growth over time, but it will be slow and frankly most women could use some more muscle and stop looking to magazines to see what their muscles should look like.

Also, i like pinterest they have TONS of at home exercises you can do, DVDs are great also, Jillian Michaels has some that are only 20 minutes long.

I like bodybuilding.com's exercise guides. Check out some articles, I am sure there is one that will fit OP's goals. Plus they have videos for each exercise to work on proper technique.
