I'm trying to gain wieght and I was wondering what exercises would help me. I have never exercised much cause I thought it wouldn't help me gain weight at all. I bowl three games every Tuesday from September to March on a bowling league. Please tell me what exercises would help please

    Exercise will not help you gain weight. You need to either eat more or eat the same amount while cutting down on activity to gain weight.

    Excercise doesn't make you gain weight - food (extra calories over you Total Daily Energy Expenditure do)

    Find your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) estimate with google. Eat 500 calories over that to gain 1lb per week. Exercise during this to gain mostly muscle with some fat (versus all fat if you do no exercise). 3 days a week programs like Strong Lifts, Starting Strength, and ICF 5x5 are highly recommended.

    Lift heavy stuff. Eat at a surplus.

    Eat more than you burn and follow a progressive lifting program
