You should try strength training instead.  Using weights would help build muscle.

I didn't start until I was 38, competed internationally (Ireland) at age 40 (placed 5th out of 37),  became a national kata champion at age 42.  You are definately not too old.  Make sure to stretch before and after class, and drink plenty of water after class.  And have fun!

Not at all. Your body will only do what it can and any given time, though you will see vast improvement the more you put in to it. I've had students in there 80's. After a few weeks, it's amazing.\n\nGet to a school now! Don't wait just go and give it a fair shot.

No, I would not recommend weightlifting for anyone younger that 15. However, do workout. Push-up, sit-ups, crunches, running, isokenetic exercises, etc. Lookup "fitness" you will find tons of good sites. I recommend menshealth.com and mensfitness.com. \n\nThe problem with weightlifting at your age is that you are still growing. Overloading can cause tears in both bone and muscle tissue. Hernias are common in high school gyms where kids overlift and tear the abdominal wall in the groin area. \n\ngood luck

No - unless you do physical labour (which technically is exercise).  They are doing experiments in gene doping with Insulin-like Growth Factor - but it's for people with muscle wasting diseases.  You're goning to have to lift weights or start working construction/agriculture (or any other physically demanding job).  Exercise is fun, gives you social contact, makes you feel better and helps build up muscle.  You should give it a try!

they won't get your strength, but working out, aside from being healthy in itself, would give you an idea of just how muscular you can become.  some people work out forever, and it barely shows, or the other way around.  my advice- give it a shot; it can't hurt, and while your baby won't be born with bulging biceps, they'll pick up some good habits and will know their potential.  just don't overdo it.  moderation and balance, and all that.

Muscle is built through nutrition. Period. Exercise is a way to trick your body to divert more nutrients to building muscle than storing it as fat.\n\nIf you want to add muscle fast work on the big muscles - Glutes, Quads, Chest and Back. Too many people spend a lot of time on smaller muscles like the biceps or the shoulders.\n\nEat more protein. Whey is an excellent source of muscle building protein, but it is also necessary to add other types like cassein (found in dairy products).\n\nRest is very important. The body needs good rest to repair the muscles broken during exercise. Ensure you have atleast 8 hrs of sleep.\n\nVitamins and Antioxidants will help to rid your body of toxins and make it more efficient in muscle building.

my dad did, and he was able to stay reasonably flexible, but not as much as the less built guys. Stretching is a big thing.

There's no age limit, I didn't learn to do a good back handspring til I was 21.  Work on your ab muscles that helps.  Also I learned how to do it by getting the feel in a foam pit.  The pit was solid not blocks of foam.  It really helped.  I did notice that when my chest started to develope that it was really hard to do tricks.  Your balance is different.  Good luck

Yes, me.\n\nI am now 41 years old, and I just entered the Alabama National Guard.\n\nHowever, I had 10 years in the Marine Corps, so I did not have to do basic training.\n\nBut here is something to consider: the DIs and other instructors have to do everything that the recruits do, and they are normally in their 30's (or older).  If they can do it, anybody can do it.\n\nHowever, I encourage you to get into shape before you go to Basic.  Because of your age, you will start out behind the training curve when compared to everybody else.  Being in the best physical shape you can be in before you go will be a big help.  I would try to get your 2 mile run time below 20 minutes as a minimum.  Any further improvements you will be able to get while you are in training.

Pardon my uncontrollable laughter.  Too old at 22?  You're funny!\n\nIt's never never never too late.  Sure, the younger you start the better, longer lasting results you'll have.\n\nBut believe me, 22 is not too old.  I didn't start until my 30's.  While I'm hardly a contortionist, I have quite adequate flexibility.\n\nSince it sounds as if your goal is just to be flexible, not to have a career in some type of sports field, yoga alone should be fine for you.\n\nAnd don't worry about the super-stretchy people in your class.  They've been doing it for a while.  It takes time to get to that level.

there are WAY too many unknowns in that statement.\n--how long have you been working out? if you just started, it's a VERY real possibility. \n--how big are you? \n--do you use any type of supplements? if so, what kind(s) & what dose(s)?\n--what type of training do you do?\n--etc etc etc...theoretically, it's entirely possible, but there are way too many details that you leave out for anyone to even make a somewhat-educated guess.

Honestly Dave, I struggled also. Weight trained yrs 13-44. You don't gain 10 lbs a year naturally. Spent lots of cash on protein and supplements. Made Joe Weider rich. In the end we are the fortunate ones. We never have to diet to be lean. It's the better of the two. I see guys at the gym every day asking what can they do to loose the weight. What a drag. I take my vitamins and have a good build. At 44 I'm 185 5'11 and have abs. Just keep working out to maintain strength cuts and confidence. Slim is the way to go. The big boys (Steriods) can gain all that muscle. But at what cost? Their health. Liver damage. Passed on to their children. You alter your genetic structure. Stay lean. You are not meant to be huge. It's Ok. It's actually better.
