GUYS , GIRLS help me out?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I've always been skinny All my life and I just hate how I can't wear shorts, rompers, dresses etc because my legs look like toothpicks. I've been told I'm healthy and I do eat a lot. To paint you a picture I'm 5 feet , weight about 78ish pounds. i want to start working out to gain some muscles. people would tell me to walk. I would walk to school everyday like a mile or two for three years and I never saw a difference. What are some workout routines I should do to gain some muscle for my legs? Thanks. Plus don't tell me to eat more food. Trust me I eat a lot but it doesn't go anywhere? My doctor prescribed me something that would make me eat like crazy but I would gain a pound once every 2 months. High metabolism.

You're just fine as you are. You don't seem remotely anorexic, so that's not a worry. Just be glad you are skinny now, because I'm sure that later in life, you'll pile on the pounds. Most people do!

For now, though, go ahead and wear what you want. Slim ladies with slim legs are so very hot! You sound a perfect lady, so don't hide yourself away. Find that bikini and use it. Be proud of who you are and enjoy the way you are!

Walking generally isn't intense enough to bulk up your legs.

You might try sprinting as fast as you can in bursts (sprint as fast as you can, rest, repeat).

Another is weight training to a point of muscle failure (where you can't do a single rep anymore).

That said, skinny legs aren't necessarily unattractive. I actually really like that aesthetic if it's not being achieved by an eating disorder or anything.

Yeah some people don't have a problem with it but I do. I guess because when I was in middle school I was a lot skinner and people would call me anorexic so it just stuck with me. Thanks for the advice :)

There's a lot of that "skinny shaming" stuff which is really annoying. There are some girls with serious psychological problems who try to achieve slimness through eating disorders, and that's really horrible, but it's also pretty horrible to think that every single skinny girl out there has this problem.

Anyway, I think skinny legs are quite beautiful on a girl. I'm kind of oddly shaped in that I'm like a male version of Chun Li. I have a slim upper torso but my thighs and calves are quite large from having done vert skateboarding all my life on half-pipes. I think it's why I like girls with skinny legs very much -- they're kind of opposite of my thick ones and therefore seem very "feminine".

Walking is not going to help really. I walk around 10-12 km minimum daily. Nothing really helps me either. Jog instead of walk & follow full body quick workout routines.
Does it run in family? All guys of my family are skinny and tall but gain weight during late 20s. While girls are short and bit chubby. Don't know reason. It's just natural. None of them has done anything about their body but they have gained weight. I went to doctor and he prescribed me few things and said that it wouldn't help as I don't have anything wrong with body.

[Asker]

Actually yeah. All my aunts and my mom were really skinny when they were in their teens and early 20s. They weren't as skinny as me though and they gained it after they had kids.

Ohhh it's natural for women to gain weight during and after pregnancy. I have seen many guys who have gained weight after mid 20's. I don't know reason.

Squats, leg presses, and jumping. Find a soccer player and ask what she does to strengthen her legs.

Let me give a a verbal slap in the face with some cold hard TRUTH.

You do not have a high metabolism. If you are skinny, your metabolism is LOW.

You think you eat a lot. You don't. Your knowledge of calorie intake ends at 'I have a high metabolism'.

Walking will not build your thighs or your bum. It's going to build your calfs at best. And without additional weight carried in a rucksack, your tiny frame is putting hardly any load on your calfs.

You want more insight?

[Asker]

Nope. I have a high metabolism. Google that shit. My doctor talked to me about it. Yeah I'm aware it builds calfs but it's suppose to tone your legs a bit as well. Thanks for the insight but I eat more calories than I'm suppose to for my weight and height.

[SnatchFinderGeneral]

Your doctor is a bellend.

Doctors deal with pathology, not physiology.

What exactly am I supposed to google? Do you have a condition that affects your metabolism? Please be open to me. Appealing to authority is fallacious.

[Asker]

Yeah actually. I've known my doctor since I was 6 years old and he trAcked my health and everything. I've always had a high metabolism. It's also genetics. Don't quote me on that. I'm just guessing. All the girls in my mom's side of the family were skinny (not as skinny as me but still pretty skinny) in their early teen and 20s but they gained weight after they had kids.

[SnatchFinderGeneral]

Ok... well you know what. What your doctor is telling you is not working. SO either shut the fuck up and listen, or keep on doing what doesn't work because your doctor told you to.

[Asker]

Dude get off my page then. Man can't even be helpful.

You should go with free weights
