Build muscle - something that really works for hardgainers like you.
Train like a bodybuilder to build muscle mass.
Weights aren't necessary to build muscle, but, resistance is. And, to continue building muscle without weights, some form of resistance must progressively increase. Done properly, strength training offers many bonuses to young athletes.
Weight training will not only tone your physique, but will strengthen your body and improve your general health. Lifting weights will also burn calories and fat more quickly than traditional exercising, and it will also boost your metabolism.
Proteins are a must for any serious person who wants to build muscles. There are many sources of high quality protein. Proteins have the highest thermic effect. Protein is vital for muscle repair and growth, but don't go crazy with it. Many people assume that eating extra gobs of protein will build muscle to their bodies faster, but that is not the case.
Starting slowly is key to build muscle. Strength training is done in sets. Start running every day, not jogging or walking, to help get your blood moving and your muscles primed for building. You're not running a race so you don't need to be a speed demon. Lifting weights is no fun for most people, but moving your body in unique positions and exercising it from all angles and in various ways, well that is a hell of a lot of fun.
