Gain Muscle

Gain Muscle, Not FAT.

• If you think you're too thin and want to gain weight, don't just sit on the sofa and stuff yourself with food. 
• Weight gain should always be in the form of muscle, not fat. 
• To build muscle, start a weight-bearing exercise program. 
• Go to a gym near by you and start a weight training circuit. Build up those arms and legs! As you exercise, your appetite will respond to meet your needs. 
• Muscle weighs more than fat.
• It only takes 15 extra grams of protein a day to build a pound of muscle a week -- so you really won't need to eat a lot more. 
• It's never too late to start a weight training program. 
• If you are inactive, you lose muscle mass to the point where you are unable to carry out daily activities -- climbing stairs, getting up out of a chair -- because your muscles are not strong enough to move the weight of your own body.
• Don't try to add fat to a weak body. Overweight older people often have the double burden of weak muscles but more extra pounds from fat to move around with them every day.
• Once you are exercising regularly and gaining muscle, your appetite will probably increase and you will eat more without any conscious effort. 
• Most muscular people and heavy exercisers will eat plenty to meet their calorie needs.
