edited August 2020 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hey everybody. I'm a 19 year old boy.. I weight around 71 kg and i'm 182 cm tall.. So basically I'm a tall skinny guy XD.
I've been insecure with my body since 13, but I've never worked out. I'm super shy and never thought of going to the gym.
Lately i've decided to start making changes by working out at home . My main goal is to gain some weight and build muscles.
So how shall i even begin? What types of exercices shall i practice? How frequently? What diet shall i follow ? What's the best time of the day to work out ? There are so many questions that i don't know their answers.
Is anyone experienced/a coach that can help me with reaching good results as fast as possible?
By the way this is my FIRST time ever working out Thanks 🙂

    I’m not a coach, but here are some general hints

    Time of day, is based on how you feel, type of exercise and your time schedule. Many people run, walk, yoga early in the morning to start their day.
    Others, myself included preferred to de-stress at the gym after work.
    If you’re new to this, look up some body weight exercises, and get a daily habit of 20-30 mins to start. After some time, look into dumbbells to bulk up.
    I’m the wrong one to ask about gaining weight. Start your day with a good breakfast.

    I feel like all the information above is solid advise.

    Definitely look into body weight exercises before jumping into free weights. Take it slow, see what your body can handle and move up from there. Don't want to jump in and cause injury.

    Might want to check out the gaining weight forums.

    Definitely check out the link and look at the stickies. If you want to gain weight, than having a well structured lifting routine would be ideal for muscle gains. Additional, adequate protein is needed. Given you are young and new to lifting, any resistance training will drive a response. Getting to a gym will help optimize the results.

    BTW, moved to bodybuilding.

    This is a great place to get info. It is my opinion that bodybuilding and diet have the most myths associated with them out of all subjects on earth. The guy who made this page is all common sense with none of the myth nonsense.

    It’s a lot of info but if you want to know it, it’s in there somewhere.

    Good luck!
