How do I start Building Muscle?

[Jrenpot]

I am looking to start building muscles just to give myself a better look. I have always been thin but exercising is really difficult for me I tire too easily so I am wondering if there is a way that you can do it when you are a beginner.

Everyone starts somewhere. Size strength and endurance take time to build. Start with getting knowledge on what exercises do what and how to do them, find out about nutrition and find a way to eat as healthy as you can manage while increasing intake.

To build bigger you need to bulk, this takes heavy calorie intake, healthy is preferred but dirty bulking isn't a terrible way. You need to put in more than you burn, even only an extra few hundred calories daily will be all it can take. This needs to be done while working out if you want to look good, you need to work the whole body with different exercises. Your main aim is good form, if you keep good form the muscles will develop even with low weights.

Your endurance will increase the more you lift, find a weight that is comfortable for good form then slowly over time increase weight once able to do a good amount of reps. It's better to do low reps perfect than lots of sloppy. It all takes time and practice so don't expect anything fast. It takes 3 months for changes to really start showing but in those first 3 months you'll actually see your strength and endurance jump quickly while body gets used to the exercises.

You'll ideally want to workout 2 to 5 times a week depending on your available time and choice of routine. The Internet is full of advice, sites like bodybuilding. com and other forums but it is easy to get lost in their discussions so don't worry if you can't make sense of everything as you actually pick up the science while you do it all.

Oh and things like protein shakes and supplement pills are more for once you actually are into it and already gaining size and taking it seriously. Your main focus at start will be comfy clothing and learning the lifts, worry about enhancers when already better.

I'm not an expert on this but you should start with some cardio as this builds endurance. You will last longer with a better cardio.
Stretch before and after the exercise as this will make you last longer because the muscles don't get tired so fast.
Start with a small set, for example 12-15 pushups. Then when you feel ready to increase the amount do it.
It would be good to get a coach at first because they know how you should do your workouts.
