im a 19 year old female and underweight. :[ I have skinny arms and legs and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get bigger arms and legs. does exercising help if your skinny? or does it just make you look weird since I don't have a lot of fat? also, please don't reply saying "eat more food" because obviously I tried that. its called metabolism and I can eat as much as I want and never gain weight. I know people say "just be lucky" and stuff. but I want to feel good about myself, and in order to do that,. I have to feel healthy. its something that has become frustrating and hopefully some of you know how I can gain weight/ get bigger arms and legs. thanks
Girls with six-packs and muscular legs are a turn-on You probably won't have to worry about looking like a big bodybuilder, though, which is a bit too much anyway
ok go to the gym and use heavier weights than people would for toning. use like 50 lbs and stuff it will bulk up your muscle which will bulk up your arms and legs without looking fat and it has nothing to do with food. also eat a lot of protein its good for building muscle
Exercising definitely can help you. I have the same body type. I am almost 5'8" and didn't hit 100 lbs until my sophomore year of college- I eat everything and it just doesn't help. But if you work out a few times a week that will tone your arms and legs. and I hate to say this, but I gained a bunch of weight when I started drinking more lol. those cups of beer and late night fast food runs filled me out QUICK! haha. However, the healthy way to gain weight is definitely to work out- and eat more red meat.
Its nice to hear when someone can relate to you. I'm finishing my freshman year of college and I only weight 104. :[ so exercising helped you gain some weight? [other than drinking? lol] - 6 months ago
Answerer
Yeah. I do the elliptical for about 45 minutes 3-4 times a week, do squats, and weights for my arms. If you join a gym, try and get 1 free session with a personal trainer to give you ideas of things you can do to gain a little weight too. - 6 months ago
