how long is this gonna take?


Question Posted Saturday January 26 2008, 8:48 pm

for about a month i've been doing lunges to increase my butt size and push ups to increase my upper body strength. i'm only 110lbs (16/f, 5'7") and all of my strength is in my legs, i have NO upper body strength, and i have no butt what-so-ever. i was doing about 15 push ups a day and 20lunges a day and i've been doing this for a month and i haven't seen any increase.

how long is this going to take to see a difference?
~i've also been drinking these milk drink things that have extra protein in them to help me gain weight.

i guess this is a two part question so the other part is:

i've been about 110lbs for a year and a half now. i have a rediculously high metabolism and if i don't eat constantly i can loose a lot of weight which i dont want to do. for example, i'll wake up and be 102lbs, eat breakfast(cereal and toast), lunch(sandwich, soda, chips, maybe ice cream) and dinner(large plate of whatever is for dinner that night) and then i'm constantly snacking all night. before i go to bed i weigh myself and i'll be anywhere from 108-110lbs. go to bed, wake up and weigh myself and i'll be 102-104lbs again. its very frustrating and hard to gain weight when i lose it while sleeping! my new years resolution is the oposite of most americans these days. i want to gain 10lbs by the end of the year but i dont know how. i'd be willing to gain muscle as long as i didn't turn like super buff.

any help for my questions?

You should look up the different ways to do push ups because depending on how you position your hands it works on different areas of the body.

for your um... rear end problem...

I suggest playing the game DDR or Dance Dance revolution for the PS2, that works out your legs and shaped your butt like you'd never believe

You always weigh less in the morning, so weigh yourself one time a day every day.

If you want to increase your strength/muscle size, you have to increase the number of reps (times you do the exercise). You can't do 15 push ups a day for a month and expect to get stronger. You have to keep doing more and more.

Hope I helped.

well first of all, if you want to gain weight it has to be the rigth kind of weight. like, you dont want a bunch of extra fat. so, you have to eat healthy things. and try doing diffrent things besides pushups and lunges for ure workout and have it scheduled, for ex. like everyday at 4 i have to do this and this. diffrent workouts pinpoint diffrent parts of ure body, you just have to find the right one that works for you.

hope i helped.
