A lot of skinny people around are of the belief that they first of all need to gain a lot of fat, in order to be able to turn it into muscles later. On the contrary however, newer and newer studies are proving that the process of burning fat and the process of building muscles are two totally different and independent types of processes here. Therefore, it is very advisable to get started with your workout sessions as soon as possible, instead of indulging in ant waiting period.

The process of building up muscles, and thereby increasing the muscle weight of the body, requires that you try higher and higher values of weight, during your weight training sessions, and perform slower number of reps. On the contrary if you are into doing several reps while keeping the weight low, it will make your body tone out and cut down in your body size.

Many people stay blissfully ignorant of the rules of body building, and then keep pondering, as to why, they cannot see any results coming through. It is also extremely important to perform each exercise with its exact technique and form, in order to be able to see results in the form of muscles, as well as, in order to be able to avoid any kind of surprise muscle injuries whatsoever.

Again it is important that you perform each of these exercises at a very slow pace, and also that you read up and follow the instructions on each machine, before going ahead with the idea of using a new or unfamiliar machine. Using the support of the actual, intended muscle groups or the correct muscle groups is also important. If while performing a lifting exercise, you find yourself with a curling back, make sure that you maintain a straight back and also that you use the power of your biceps and not your entire body to lift the weight up. Using the right muscle groups this way, will help you build muscles much quicker than if you opt to use the wrong muscle groups.

When you start out initially, it is very important to train in compound exercises, training multiple muscle groups, than to work on isolated muscle groups. Once you have successfully built individual muscle groups, then you need to rest and keep alternating the work out sessions of different muscle groups on different days, through isolated exercises.

Also, do not tire every fiber of your being, by giving your body no time to rest and repair or build muscles. Make sure that you take adequate rest atleast twice a week. Make sure that you eat a lot of food. Skinny people are known to have enormous metabolic rates, thereby quickly digesting all that found its way down the stomach. So if you are used to a 1500 calorie diet on a daily basis, double or triple up the quantity of food you consume, and make sure it’s a healthy, nutrient-rich, balanced diet that you are hogging on, in order for it to be able to be transformed into muscles, when you are working out.
