You'll start to see some changes within a week. If you stick to it, you'll see some really good stuff after a month.

When you curl 18 pounds 20 times, that is called 1 "set" of curls. You will see greater growth if you do 3 to 5 sets of each exercise. Same with the push ups; Do several 'sets' of each.
Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Tone up the muscles:

1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA..
7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.
In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.

Mental Health:

1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3. Learn how to meditate.
4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
10. If the above suggestions don't improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication.

Take care of yourself

Not so much no. If you did 4 sets of 15-20 of curls and then 4x10 of triceps extensions. (straightening your arm overhead one at a time). Overhead dumbell presses and 3 sets to failure of pushups every other day you'll see results. Not a lot but some.

It depends how many times you do it, and how much protein you eat. If you do it four times a week every other day, you should begin to actually SEE results in a couple of months. Just make sure to eat your protein!

It takes a while but you also need to make sure you are doing a good diet.
Using your muscle deplete them of water so be sure to replace the water and exercise creates free radical so be sure to eat good food ;fruits and veggies, limited meat,no dairy, no processed foods,no fast food, nothing white. Good luck.

depends on your diet, but if you do this you will notice a change, because doing a daily routine is better than just sitting around the computer all day, even if you won't see much of a change its much better for you
