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.
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 [ haku9s's advice column | Ask haku9s A Question ]

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.
