Personal Trainers, I need some advice on this?

I'm trying to add some muscle mass to my 5'1, 97lb frame. I usually do high intensity strength training routines around 6 am and then take Ashtanga yoga at lunch. I usually do short cardio intervals (30min.) 3 times a week and take a spinning class (1 hr)once a week. I surf on the weekends. (2-3 times). Is this detrimental to weight gain? Is protein consumption more important than total caloric intake? I'm toned all over but I would like to gain more muscle tone in order to be stronger on the waves. Any advice?Personal Trainers, I need some advice on this?
protein = muscle --- I hope that answers one of your questions.





However, you will not gain a single ounce if your total caloric intake is below maintenance. Cardio training is never detrimental to weight gain (at least not the weight you want to gain).





Streangth training is done in different method than even bodybuilding training. A common strength training regime is called ';5x5's) meaning 5 sets of 5 reps per each muscle group. The final set and only the final set is done to absolute failure and all sets are done in an increasing weight manner.





Find your BMR (basil metabolic rate) and figure your calories. For a female (I'm assuming you're in your early 20's) it would be a good idea for you to try and get 1.25-1.5gms of protein per pound of lean body mass. Next calculate your carb intake (Dextrose is a great post workout carb for weight gain) and finally just keep fats to a minimum unless you aren't seeing the weight gain you think you should be, then and only then do you take up your fat intake with something like almonds or flax oil.





Sidenote: 5'1'; 91lbs is F'in hott! Why would you want to change that?Personal Trainers, I need some advice on this?
This is short because the other guys already answered well enough so here is my input.





Perhaps you should try polymeric training. This will give you the power you need for surfing. The reason athletes like Michael Jordan were so good is due to their explosive power going to the net. Notice that he did not have large muscles but had tons of power. Strength %26amp; power are note the same things.





As for the protein %26amp; calorie thing, well they are both important so you must consume the correct amount of each to reach your goal.
ur not trying to gain weigh and get big so eat like prolly 1800-2000 cals aday spread that over 8 meals spread ur protein carb and fat intake into 8 meals but ur last 2 meals should prolly be only protein.


ur gonna need about 150 porteins,maybe 180 carbs and like 50 grams of fat aday liftw eight hard and eat after ur done working out a protein shake and a gatorade would be a good post workout meal hit the gym 3 times aweek vary ur exercises and work hard if u dont struggle ur body wont need to become more efficient at the work out and thus cause u to gain little to no muscle. also a workout partner would be helpful especially if u kno somone experienced u could go and workout and have an ok time a personal trainer just to get u started in the rite direction might also be helpful and since ur active and ur eating around 200 cals aday if u dont c a slow raise in weight up the cals like maybe 300 untill u star to c some type of gains u can still perform the activitys u will just have to eat more ur age would also be helpful
