How can I gain muscle/weight?

I am trying to add more muscles to my small frame. I am good at eating healthy and cardio, but when it comes to lifting weights. I am clueless. Got any good tips? Routines? Ideas? Schedules?

Answers:
To add muscle to your frame you will need some weight training. There are many ways to do this, so it will depend on what you like. You can do a full body workout 3 times a week (Mon,wed,Fri, with a day in between) or you can work upper body one day, next day lower body, and so on all week, giving yourself 1 day a week off of every activity.
You will probably need some guidance, a trainer maybe. You can go to "bodyforlife.com" and look at the demo's they have there to get some ideas. It's too detailed to try and set you up on a program on line like this. Hope some of this helps...

Whey Protien and creatin. There is nothing that is better than these 2 together.
If you have access to a gym with weight machines, the easiest way to start is just doing a full round on their machines.

Have you tried sets of 50 ? it worked great for me.

An idea of your height, weight, and age would have helped, but I will assume you are young if you want to gain weight. If you were my age you would be wanting to lose weight.

Any exercise will add muscle over time. A good way to do it is use your own body weight to add muscle. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges. Do sets of 10 or 20 and move to another muscle group. Then start the sets again. Using your own body as the resistance reduces your chance of injury and it's a heck of a lot cheaper. If you find it too easy you can hold some weight while you are doing the sets. Gallon milk jugs work well and are very adjustable.
