Smile exercise to gain weight...help

hello there
i'm really new to this exercise routine and stuff. so I really need help.
i really don't have money to got to the gym so i'm asking for suggestions on what's the best for me. My concern is that if i'm going to do just any exercise on my own, i may lose the little fats on my body but don't build enough muscle or like i would gain weight with muscles but it won't show much in my appearance? so i really need a guide.

okay, I'm a skinny petite girl who doesn't do much, doesn't move much cause i easily get tired. Regarding my diet, I don't eat a lot because i easily get full. I'm from Asia so my diet is mainly rice, meat and fish. but whenever i feel like eating, i eat. But i'm still underweight.

I also want to ask: Is it possible that through exercise, I can make my hips wider?
Because, I really want to focus on that area. It's not only that my pelvic bones are slim, but there's not much fat around it. i think.

can anyone suggest on what kind of exercise i should do?

thanks in advance.

well mainly for girls all they really need to do is run. My suggestions to you would be to run and bike, those are great ways to get endurance up and lose fat. if your looking for muscle go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and type in "8 minute abs" there it will show you great teqniches for your stomach, if you don't have access to a bench press just do push-ups on the ground. Start form you knees if you cant do 10 regular push-ups form your toes. those are pretty much the basics.

If you're doing everything right, you'll see improvements in as little as 6 weeks...possibly sooner since you're trying to gain size, rather than lose it.

taking measurements of your biceps, thighs, calves, bust, waist and hips will help you track things. A simple weigh-in on a scale isn't always the best approach. weight change can be water weight, fat, muscle, or food still in your digestive system...you need to be able to quantify weight changes with body fat percentage changes and/or body size changes (the circumference of biceps, thighs, etc)

As for the hips, Asian women tend to have smaller hips and buttocks than other races. This isn't racist - I'm Asian-American - just a morphological fact.

The running will help you in the endurance but won't do much for muscle building which is best accomplished with weights, but in the absence of that, look for body weight training. Concurrently, increase your caloric intake with healthy but high-caloric foods, but not too much. I am sure you don't want to be fat, just less skinny.

The big 3: Squats, bench press, deadlift

These compound movements will help put on muscle mass, and strip away fat because you're engaging so many different large and small muscle groups.

The best time to exercise is whenever is convenient for you. Pick a time and stay consistent with it. Though it's been proven that performance is best in the evening.

^okay, unfortunately i can't go to a gym yet and i also don't have any equipments at home, so i'm just stuck to myself and your help guys who can help for exercise routine that will be best for my goal.
(maybe next year i can afford to sign up to a gym, but for now i can only do this at home)

Thanks for all who answered so far.

I really need to exercise, everyday i feel like uncharged battery. I need to liven up my blood.
Aside from the hip area, i also want to make my shoulders a bit wider.

By the way, i'm kind of anemic, is that going to make a difference on what exercise or frequency of it should i do?

Type of exercise, no.

Frequency and Intensity of exercise, yes. Anemics have low iron in their blood, which is needed for endurance type events, and you deplete it as you go intensely and for longer durations. However, if you're anemic and your red blood cell/iron is low to begin with, you'll have to limit the duration of your workouts.

Just remember to include the most vital part of training in your consideration of your progress! The mind! If your mind is not on track, your progress will be out of wack.
Believe in yourself and visualize that you can make good progress in little time and you will do it!
