    I have problems that I want to rectify regarding my body.
    Im really skinny..especially my wrists.
    I have a bit of a belly.

    My excersise consists of a 3/4 X 3 mile runs a week, 50 press-ups and about 100 sit-ups a day. The odd football match, and other sporting activities.

    I know its all a bit vague...but if someone will guide me it would be great.

    Read the threads (stickies) at the top of the page, loads of info there to get you started about diet, training etc.

    Then come back with any queries you have and post up a detailed diet of what you eat, what exercise you get etc. and what your goals are.

    doing 50 press ups and 100 sit ups a day isn't going to do nothing but overtrain the muscle. you aren't giving it time to heal and grow. rest is key in muscle development as you dont grow muscles in the gym, they happen when resting over a period of 48-72 hours.

    i use a pull, push and legs routine.

    monday - pull

    deadlifts
    barbell rows
    hammer curls

    wednesday - push

    flat barbell bench press
    dumbbell shoulder press
    tricep extensions

    friday - legs

    squats
    stiff legged deadlifts
    calf raises
    hanging leg raises

    everyting is 5 sets or 5 reps increasing each set by 15% of my maximum lifting weight

    it doesn't seem like a lot but it works for me. just nail you're diet and perform cardio 2-3 times a week for 35-40 mins. preferably first thing in the morning before eating.

    it will take time before you notice any difference. patience is important.
