I'm 22, 5'10, i have been stuck at 10st for as long back as i can remember and i would like to tone and really put some weight on but have no clue whats the best way to go about it. I have recently joined the local gym but don't know what i should do about my diet.

I have never been to the gym before about a week ago and had an induction with a an instructor who was more interested in ogling at the young woman than helpfully answering any of my questions to say the least. I am really naive about this and don't even know what weight, how often or how many reps i should be looking at doing to reach my goals.

When i search the internet i just get bombarded with all sorts of weight gain products, I'm am sure these are not needed. (please tell me if otherwise)

Thank you!

Have just spotted the nutritional plan at the top :), but any advice on what foods best to gain the nutrition needed would be great as i don't have the biggest apatite in the world and this is probable my main problem.

Advice welcome.

Do a fitBuddy search on WSSC 2008 Eating Plan

Good Luck

Too often we are so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey.

To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.

Pick a program here - it would be an excellent start
