Hi everyone, I知 new to this forum and fitness

I'm sure you guys probably get a lot of people like me asking for help but I'm totally new so please be patient.
I am 15 and my problem is that I'm very very skinny. The last time I checked; I weighed only 51kgs. I literately have no fat; I'm just ribs and skin. I'm not dieting nor have any eating disorders. I haven't been chubby since I was a baby. The reason for my weight is my diet. I live in a lower income family so I don't have beef every night. I only get 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner. (Don稚 worry; I didn't come to ask for money)

Sadly I'm also a computer geek and very inactive. I知 fearing for my health. I'm weak as a baby. I can JUST barely do 10 press ups (with my back curving like hell). I fear that I'm loosing muscle mass because I知 so inactive.

So I want to get fit and more muscle mass. Last year was my last year of compulsory P.E at school and I haven't done any sports or anything physical since then. I want to join a sports team and my problems will be solved; but like I said, I live in a low income family and I can't afford to join any sports teams.

But I haven稚 given up, I been reading around the net on how to get fit. I found a fitness program on my countries army website and I知 following it so far

http://www.army.mil.nz/default.asp?C...itness+Planner

This program helps people get fit and to reach the standards to join the Army. This is what I知 thinking of doing. This program is pretty good; it shows you how to do stretches and seems easy enough to follow. The problem is that the link that shows you how to do back arches, 1/2 squats, is broken and I have no idea how to do them properly. The last 3 days I been just doing them how I think they are done. I was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction.

I was also hoping you guys/ gals on this forum can give me tips on gaining muscle mass (arm especially)and getting more fit.


Thanks in advance

Tim
