Depends on your goal and the current state of your body.\n\nIf your bodyfat percentage is less than 15% then you should concentrate on adding muscle. This means doing moderate cardio (not more than 3 times a week) and more weight training. Eat enough protein (at least 1g per lb of bodyweight). \n\nIf fat% is more towards the 20's then High Intensity Intervel Cardio for 20-25 min a a day is the answer. This should be done at least 5 days a week. Weight traininig is important too. Try not to do them in the same session as this is too taxing on the body.

Remember that muscle ways 3 times more than fat. So if you want to gain wait, you should go to the gym. As not only will you gain the wait, you will also be stronger and stay fit.

Eat, and eat massively.  Gaining mass is hard, but you can do it if you work out and eat a lot.  Try to eat a lot of protein and fat.  Your body needs fat to produce testosterone for building muscle.

Try Pilates. They just tone the tummy and the thigh area. Plus you get the body of a dancer, lean and tall. rather then bulking up with heavy muscle.

The answer is very simple, the process can be hard.\nYou need to consume more calories than your body burns.\nBeing that you are a vegetarian, you will want to buy some protein powder. Make smoothies using fruit and,milk and protein.\nEAT EAT EAT.\nNow if you want to tone your muscles as you gain weight, then you need to hit the weights 2-3 times per week. Try to aim around 12 reps per set, doing 2 sets per muscle group.\n For more info visit my site and sign up for the newsletter

Eat protein, whey, and exercise. Body building would probably be best, but even runnng is good.

Run,run,run. Dont run up hill or use the incline on a treadmill or stairstepper. This will build muscle but you'll still have a layer of fat on top of the muscle which will make your legs and butt look bigger. Get the fat off first with cardio and then work on muscle tone. Good luck.

I would recommend protein shakes. To get the best results eat your meal and drink the shake after you eat. If you drink the shake first you will be to full and you wont get the extra protein you need to gain muscle. There is a great shake at the site below that will help you achieve that. Bulk and muscle formula. There is a supplement in it that will help you digest more protein.

You might consider the Atkins diet - lots and lots of protein to help build muscle - and maybe doing some work in construction to help build your body up.

You need to eat really healthy foods and excersize.  If you are a guy, than use heavy weights to build muscle and tone.  It will work if you stick with it!

for your arms....you'll want to build muscle because it doesn't sound like you gain fat easily. Push ups, pull ups, chair dips, curls. \nfor your legs...if you want them to be muscular and bigger, you'll need to really work them alot. squats, lunges. \nmy advice..go to www.shapefit.com/training it has alot of weight building exercises not only with weights but without as well. good luck

You need to work out with weights, and eat as much protein and high-grade cereal grains as you can.  My Steve was always skinny until he took almost two years where he was doing very little besides eating and sleeping and working out with weights.  He built himself up to where he was very strong and wiry.  You'll probably never have bulging muscles, but you can be strong and sleek, and look like several million dollars.
