Hmm nice tips. I've been exercising at work since I have my own office/work space that's great for these types of low impact isometric exercises.

I wouldn't say I'm undersized, I've been fit and healthy my whole life just eating when I'm hungry (not when I see food) and staying physically active sports. But, I would like to put on more mass, so I've upped my protein intake naturally, no shakes or supplements. Staying well hydrated with powerade, gatorade and vitamin water. I've lowered my sugar intake almost by half on a daily basis by cutting out sodas. Right now I'm about 6' 155lbs I've been this size since I graduated high school in 2001.

Now, in the past 6 months, I've noticed a greater increase in mass in my shoulders, back, arms and midsection. The only exercises I do (on a daily basis) are push-ups and stretches. They're the easiest to do while at work. The past month or so, I've thrown a fitness rubber band and weights into the mix. Now, the mass I've acquired is becoming more toned and defined. My weak points are my legs and core strength.. any tips on isolating these areas?

 

Basketball and Tennis....for your legs...keeps you toned and builds your leg muscles!
I don't do ANY exercises for legs....and my thighs and calves are rock solid due to those sports! Also Cycling or swimming will also build them up.....and of course there's always legs presses but a machine would be necessary for that!

 

Word, Basketball and Tennis were my favorite sports when I was in my teens and that's probably when my legs were in their best shape, heh. I'm going to the court now, thanks for the advice.

 

i'd rather be about 195, but i was just saying, i can lose a pound a day down to abuot 170 and be healthy, but that's about it for losing weight ,i can't go lower without being unhealthy.

 

I'm 5'9" and 202 pounds, always dropping weight. I'm trying to get back down to 170-180, which I should be able to manage by the end of June when I really start going down to the beach.

I tell you what, muay thai, boxing, and brazilian jui jitsu is where it's at since I have no wrestling clubs around me.

That and three to five mile runs every day along wit hthe standard situp, pushups, squats, etc. to keep my strength and definition.

As for shoulders and arms, I have 16.5 inch arms and relatively wide shoulders that could use more definition.
