Right you big "tough" men...

Ok, so hello! Bit of a queer title but we'll skip that it got your attention.

Right I'm totally new to this whole notion of exercise. I want to get started. I'm not fat - I don't think - I'm 16, 5ft 7", and weigh 10 Stone dead with clothes/shoes on.

Basically, I want to improve my health, fitness, and my lack of any muscle. :p:

So I'll just start of by telling you that I eat like ****e. Aside from one good meal, of meat and two veg a day - I don't eat healthily at ALL. So what could you suggest that's not to difficult to make, that I could snack on? I do however, eat too many apples; try 3 a day. So something different?

Secondly, I'd say I'm not fit - however I do possess my pride and joy Claud Butler which I am on all the time, is this good for fitness, or should I try running or walking? Also, I do play football, and compared to the others I would be consdered the fastest (Actally fastest at the 100M in our school proven) but this isn't the problem I lack any sort of stamina. We play from Half 6 - 10 and after running for two hours I'm totally recked, but I play on. Is this because my diet consists of junky rubbish?

Thirdy, I have no muscle what-so-ever, what exercises are good?

As you can see I'm totally clueless to this so my questions are most likely stupid - but try to answer and bear with me and don't take the piss.

Thanks.

The first thing I would do is change your diet. You can find meals that are healthy and tasty. Eat well at these meals, and you are less likely to wind up hungry later when a bag of crisps is right in front of you.

As for excersise, work your way up. Try walking around a bit more, and maybe try jogging. If you want you can join a gym, but there are a lot of excersises that can be done in the comfort and convenience of one's own home.

Try weight gain products. You seem to do the excercise and are fit already (I am impressed at the running record). Put on some weight and excercise as you do, it will come out as bulk. Also do cross training (concentrate on upper body excercise)

have a ****

Eat more protein, carbs and so on... drink more water... brown bread instead of white... you know this already. :p:

Walking, as has been suggested, is a good idea...

If you already only eat one big meal, you could try eating little and often. Small pieces of fruit, a few nuts maybe, the odd bowl of cereal/pasta, canned fish, chicken. Etc. Just make sure your're getting your hitting your daily allowance (2500 to remain as you are, less to shrink, extra to grow) and getting all your essential vitamins etc and you should be fine. If you're serious about extra muscle, you'll be needing about 3000 calories and lots of protein. You might want to consider a powder if you can't stomach the thought of loads of tuna/egg whites.

As for exercises, the classics 'power lifts' will probably do you fine. You probably already know how to bench press, but you probably should go along to a gym so an instructor can show you the best form. You should also learn how to squat and how to dead lift - those three exercises alone should be enough to help you start developing muscle, but if you don't learn them properly they can cause all sorts of problems.
