How tall are you because for a guy 140 pounds is really small.

well im a girl so getting huge muscles ad gaining weight is not good 4 me!!lol
I play cricket so some stregnth is necessary for arms, i guesse i have got stronger by having to hold the bat out for ages while batting (not been so good for my back though!) and bowling means i have stronger shoulders now.

I used to play football so got alot of leg stregnth but also damaged my knees quite alot, like i know need physio or osteopath work very often.

I have done some small weight work with dumbells just to tone up arms and general stregnth but equally to prove to my brother that i can!!! H still thinks there is no way i could be strong or as good at cricket as him!!!

I also do a stepper while watching tv quite oten, most days unless im home late.

I eat healthy and do sit ups every now and then. only eat fast food occasionally after training coz it finishes really late and often have an indoor match to go to after.

im gonna start going to agility with my dog too, bit of exersize 4 us both!!

Currently, I am 130 and planning on hitting the gym once Spring comes around. Right now, I am trying to gain weight by eating a lot of fatty foods and downing Protein shakes right before I go to sleep. It was going good, I gained five pounds doing that, but money is tight and I can't get my prime source of energy and weight gain (The Protein shakes).

My legs are really strong from all the Tae Kwon Do I do. I usually wear weights on my legs (2.5 each)and walk whenever i can. Working in a retail store is a good work out with these weights, I am glad for buying them.

They also have this 20 pound sandbag vest at my job. I want it, but I'm not sure if I would use it as much as I can.

The Tae Kwon Do is a good work out. It builds endurance and amazing leg strength. Only problem is that it's 85% kicking, leaving my upper body weak.

I am thinking of taking vitemans, but I don't know where I should start and what exactly I need.

Also getting weights for home. But, there's a mini gym right down the street and no one really goes there. Lazy old people.

So, can I get any help?

It really depends, are you looking to change your body image, be healthier, get stronger, all the above? You're 130 at what height?

I was really athletic as a kid, as most people are but eventually kind of let myself go. For the past couple of year I have been a member at a couple gyms, but could never stay motivated. At the end of Summer I was 5'11 and just short of 200 pounds, and just about everything was flab on me. Then in early October I purchased the workout system "p90x". I had seen the infomercials dozens of times and I decided to go ahead and get.

Although I didn't quite get the amazing result the people in the ad did (then again, who does?) but I was able to get my weight down to 176 lbs and I got rid of 7% of body fat. I feel a lot better and I am a lot more active now. I am doing one more go around with P90x to get a little slimmer before I go back to working out at a gym.
