How can I gain weight without being too muscular?

Question

I'm 5'7" and about 110lbs. I would like to gain 10 to 20 lbs. However, the women in my family (me included) tend to gain weight in the abnominal area. I want to be at a healthy weight, but I do not want to have a "jelly belly"! I should add that while I want to add weight, I don't actually want to be extremely muscular. I want to have a feminine shape. Oh, and one more question: What are some exercises that I can do to make my butt look bigger than it acutally is?

Answer 1

well muscle is pretty dense so if you workout and tone yourself you'll gain some weight but have a nice define feminine body

but if need to pack on some weight i would suggest the legs and thighs they can add a lot of mass without being too noticable

but like i said just lifting weights(lighter lights with many reps) to tone up should do the trick

Answer 2

at your current bodyweight it would take years of intentional dieting to become "too muscular".

right now you probably have at most 80 lbs of non-fat on your body. you would have to gain about 40 lbs of muscle to be too muscular for your height and even then that would probably take a decade.
