1. Start moderate physical activities like going for a jog in the morning or engaging in any kind of sport and make sure you do this at least 3 or more times in a week. Each session should last at least 30 minutes and then it depends on the endurance of your body and your personal level of comfort. These activities would help in toning of the muscles and keep you physically fit. But these won’t help you gain bulky muscles mass.

Concentrate on free weight exercises like pull ups, pushups, bench press, dips, dead lifts, squats and military presses. Start with normal sets of 3 to 4 and increase the weights as you progress. If you are unable to do more reps in the second set than you did in the first then you are progressing fine. Otherwise there is something wrong in the amount of strength you put into the first set and you need to increase your efforts. This will result in the increase in demand of strength of your body which in turn will help in increasing the size. Make sure you have at most 2 to 3 minutes of rest between each set.

Schedule a weekly routine in which you can concentrate on different body parts on each day like your chest, biceps, shoulders, triceps, back, abs and legs. Don’t over exert your muscles and body. Give your body adequate amount of rest. Follow the routine properly and diligently and you achieve the desired results in no time. But make sure you are taking a proper diet with large amounts of proteins, calories, starch and carbohydrates. You diet is a large factor in the process of weight gain and building up body mass.

There are a number of people around the world who are looking to gain weight. Whether it be for weight lifting or just because you think you’re too skinny, you have to make sure you gain the weight the healthy way.

The first and most obvious way to gain weight is to eat more. The more you eat the more calories you take in. The way that you lose weight is by burning more kilo calories than you take in throughout the course of a day so naturally, you gain weight when you take in more than you burn. The most important thing to remember is that just because you’re trying to gain weight, doesn’t mean you have to gain unhealthy weight. The quickest way to become unhealthy is by eating unhealthy food or “junk foods”. There are still healthy foods out there that will allow you to take in a significant amount of calories. Another thing you’re going to want to make sure of is that there is a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat in all of the meals that you consume. For your protein, the three most eaten foods are meat, poultry and fish. Once you’ve got your protein, you want to make sure to also eat a good sized portion of vegetables and it’s often good to eat a good amount of fruit throughout the day. One way to add calories to your vegetables is by adding butter or olive oil. This will surely add a significant amount of calories to your overall intake. Now that you’ve got your protein, the real weight gainers start to show. Potatoes, rice or pasta are three of the most commonly seen carbohydrate loaded foods.

Along with the above suggestions, there are also a number of dietary supplements that you can take to gain weight. These of course still require somewhat of a diet but are often a good alternative for those who cannot rest solely on their diet.
