Any exercise is good. :) Walking, biking, rowing, swimming are all fairly low impact and develop lean muscle.

Running or biking to build endurance and short sprints to build speed. If you go on the usta.com and click high performance there is a link to exercises to build speed. Also push ups and sit ups are great and just use your own body weight to build muscle.

Eat meat.  Youll need the protien to build muscle.  And work out your arms chest and back 2-3 times a week.  Do high wieght / low reps (Don't do too much or you will hurt yourself) .  This will build your muslce faster.  Low weight high reps will just tone you.  It is probably best you start on machines as well because they help you keep correct form and give you more control as far as the amount of resistance.  Try doing pushups with weights on your back(start low), and look into buying a small dumbbell set.

Plyometrics like mad. Leg strengthing, lunges, and lots of free weights.\n\nVB isn't the brownie scouts.

Your muscles NEED the work load provided by heavier weight in combination with regular exercise or they don't stand a chance to become stronger.\n\nIf you don't want artificial equipment or lead weights...go buck hay, move logs, transport blocks of ice, or chop wood.

Lifting weights is by far the best way to build muscle.  Lifting heavy weights for a few reps is better at adding size.  Good luck.  I don't know how old you are, but keep it up...don't expect a few weeks to get you there.  You need to workout every other day so your body can build.

Cardio is better.  Strength will just build up muscle density.  Do lots of running to burn off the weight.

swimming is a great calorie and fat burner.. if you really want to build muscle you would have to really train hard. \n\nusing paddles will build some arm muscle, and kicking fly will tone your stomach

Dumbbells are good and don't take up very much space and are inexpensive (the ones with handles and removable plates). Get an adjustable bench to go with it, and you can get an excellent workout. \n\nBodyweight exercises are also very good. I just finished a routine doing nothing but pushups, situps, pullups, and squats (bodyweight). You can add some of these in with dumbbells to get more variety from your workout.

Exercise to increase your muscle mass.  Muscle burns more calories than other tissue types.

Best exercises?  At home or in the gym?  give you legs a day off if really working them, they need a rest from strength training.\n\nAt Home, wall sits, and squats will work your muscles pretty well as well as leg lifts.\n\nAt the gym, Leg press, squats, lunges are all excellent compound exercises.  Leg extensions and Leg curls will isolate the quads and hamstrings respectively.

it seems to be that you should at least be over 100 lbs. you should try to build muscle by lifting weight and definately eat more protein and fat. Try protein shakes, they are good if you add peanut butter to them. mmmmm...
