Start taking some weight lifting and take some supplements like creatine read on that I use it myself and its very helpful. Also you have to eat more protein like tuna, beef, and you can even go to GNC and buy protein powder to mix in water

The answer to your question is simple - GET TO THE WEIGHT ROOM!!!
Get a membership to the gym, like GOLD's gym or Extreme Fitness or some other center. You can even buy weights of your own if you don't have access to a gym.
If you want to be muscular, you're going to have to commit. Work out 5 -6 days a week, and work every muscle. Don't worry about how skinny you are, I can tell you right now that I know how self concious skinny guys get in the gym when they see these other big guys lifting so much weight. Work slowly, don't expect to see drastic results, expect to gain mabye 5 - 6 pounds of muscle in a month if you're a beginner. The best exercises for muscle gain are squats, bench press and deadlifts. Do 2 sets the first week and work your way up to five sets as you get stronger. Also do atlest a 100 crunches a day, your abdominals are a vital part of your body that aid in every movement you make and act like a protective shell for your vital organs.
If you don't have access to a gym, do a ton of push ups, squats (without any weight) and crunches. It'll sculpt your body and give you a lean healthy and sculpted look, but don't expect that you'll get huge.
Also, protein, lots of it. Have 1 gram of protein for every pound of your body. If you weigh 100 pounds, you need 100 grams of protein after every workout. If your skinny and you work out, try to eat, its the only way you're going to get more muscle.
Don't expect results within a week, you'll see a good improvement within 3 months or so only if you've kept to the workout without slacking off.

There is are many myths about diet and muslce hypertrophy out there, and many of those myths have been repeated in some of the postings on this page. Increasing protein intake does NOT increase muscle size or density. In fact, studies have shown that the american diet already supplies more and adequate protein for even the most dedicated athletes. An average person needs around 1.8 g of protein per kg of body mass a day. Studies on competetive body builders show that anything above 2.2 g of protein p/kg of body weight is not used, and is turned into glucose via gluconeogenesis and stored as glycogen. The only way to put on muscle, is to steadily increase a resistance exercise program while increasing overall calorie intake. The form of calories doesnt matter, however, carbohydrate and protein intake would be more healthy than increasing fat intake.
How quickly you can add muscle mass will depend on what training regime you choose, and your geneitic make up of muslce type (fast vs slow twitch ). Slow twitch have high moticochondria density and are very fatigue resitant, but are not as explosive and fast twtich, which are less resistant to fatigue. There are different ways to cater your training to develop different fiber types.
As far as creatine goes, studies differ on its effectiveness. Some studies do show that creatine can help a lifter that has reached his plateau lift more wieght, and recover faster between sets. However, in genereal the muscles have a good natural supply of phospho creatine, and some studies have shown that hypercompensation of creatine stores has no benefit. Also it should be remembered that water is the co transport for creatine into muscle, so much the weight gain while on creatine supplementaiton is water weight.
To sum it up, dont waste money on supplements, there is massive mark up for things that can be consumed natrually and very cheaply. ( a complete protein for example is red beans and rice, around 1.00 vs protein whey supplement which is around 25 dollars for a carton).
And there is NO short cut to muslce hypertrophy. It simply takes time and dedication of a weight resitance regime complemented by an increase in calories.

well eat steak fillet if possible it is like fuel for mussel growth. try 3 servings a day [a steak the size of a deck of cards]. go to the gym on a regular basis and work out your arms and legs and crunches help you get a six pack. see how many crunches you can do in a minute anything within the low 50s or high 40s is good. lift weights, do push-ups and run on the tread mill do laps outside if desired. swimming helps too!
--hope this helps!!

Try to eat more and do muscle building exercises. If required, ask your doctor to prescribe you some steroids.

If chicken does not improve your muscles, try beef or pork.
