What is the best way to start out exercising?

[power8008]

I am 116.8 pounds, around 5 foot 11 inches, (nearly 6 foot) and as skinny as can be, (you can see parts of my bones in my arms and legs) I wanna start working out but have no idea where to start or what to do, what should i start off with, and how much a day?

Start light, practice form. You need to do compound free weight lifts. Presses, rows, squats, deadlifts, lunges. Work your way up to what you consider heavy. Lifting does no good if you don't lift properly. There's plenty of resources for proper form, Internet and trainers and other big guys.

For mass you need low weight, high volume. Doesn't mean it'll be easy, just means you need to use a weight where you can do a lotta reps with. The volume should be the challenge, not the actual weight.

Most important us diet. Reap what you sow. Eat big, eat healthy, lotta carbs, protein, and some healthy fats. Avoid soda, candy, junk food, sugar, etc. you can do shakes just no more than 2 a day.

if you have any friends that regularly hit the gym then they would be your best bet to help getting started. if you don't then go to a gym and talk to some of the trainers and other staff there and ask for information.

Go to a gym. They will guide you. But follow the golden rule: start with easy and build up slowly if you want to avoid body damage and overload. If you tell the gym what you want: muscle build-up, general condition, endurance, ... they will give you a program.
