Hello there
I've jsut signed up to these forums and had a browse. Quite a few useful articles and posts already! However, I was wondering if there were any people out there in a similar situation to myself, and wondered if there was any exercises you did to improve your figure.
When i say "improve your figure" I honestly dont mean people trying to slim down. I need the opposite! I'm 5'7, ~7 1/2 stone with a BMI of 16.5. Extremely low, I know. This is normal for me, since i've never been heavier than 8 stone and a size 8, despite eating a junk food diet from the age of 4-17!
. I would especially like to enhance my legs, as they are a whooping 29cm diameter at the calf! I've tried numerous exercises to increase the muscle here as I would love to have larger legs to compliment the rest of my figure.
I also know that people with a slim frame are at higher risk of osteoperosis in later life, and training may help decrease that risk.
I rarely exercise, although i do jog occasionally, dance-mat and rode for 10 years regularly (not so much now). I've been doing 15 minutes twice a day of squats and calf raises lately. Ive done this before for a few months but found no improvement.
I would really like advice from similar people who have enhanced their weight and muscle tone through exercises. Thank you very much.
