i am not really sstrong but i am not weak
everyone i know thinks im weak
even my teacher
me and some of my friends(who were girls) had to take some things up to a different class and a my teacher gave one of the girls more books than she gave me and she did this on purpose becuase i know she thinks im weak
what are some excercises i could do to get some better(if that is the right word) abs and pecs and basically all of my body muscles
such as sit ups and pull ups etc
and how many of those a day would i have to do for so long to get jsut the right amount of muscles so i can not have too much muscles but not look like arnold swarchnegger( i mean no critisism, he is awesome)
btw i also want a good body to impress some girls(lol)

You`re 13, you will spend the next couple of years growing taller so it is going to be difficult to 'bulk up' your muscles. Firstly, you need to eat! Foods high in protein (such as meats and dairy) will really help. When you`re hungry, eat. Avoid fast foods because you`ll be gaining far more fat by eating them and you want to be muscular and healthy, not overweight.
Do exercises everyday. If you can, join a sports team, your coaches will be able to teach you exercises. Running (long distance and sprinting) will be great to help you strengthen your entire body. Simple exercises such as push ups will help to build your upper body. There is no specific number that you should be doing in order to build muscle, it varies depending on the person. Work out (in the gym, sports, running, etc) until you need a rest. Do not do 'hard' work outs everyday, every couple of days do something simple like going for a short jog, then relax. You do not want to strain your body.
It is also important to drink plenty of water. Becoming dehydrated will not help your health in the least! Avoid sports drinks as they contain a lot of sugar in most cases. If you can, take a quick visit to your doctor and ask for his or her advice. Finally, get 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Your body needs to rest to be efficient and to grow.
