MP: The blogger's guide to gaining muscle

So for my major project I decided to learn how to build muscle correctly. That means how to work out, what to eat and when, and even the amount of sleep i get a night.
So, in my pursuit to this I started talking to a physical trainer and a nutritionist, who both work at Akron U. As well as my family doctor. Things that  I learned my first week:

1. I need between 6-8 hours of sleep a night. If I can help it, try and make it uninterrupted. Continuous sleep is very helpful to recovery and energy.

2. Do not focus my progress on how much weight I loose. Muscle weighs more. I may go up in weight but that could be because i'm building muscle

3. DRINK LOADS OF WATER. Exercise can dehydrate you and water is very important for the growth of muscles as well as recovery. 

4. Workout different muscle groups on different days and never continuously. This will give your muscles time to recover and breath before your next workout. You will not get exhausted as fast as if you kept repeating a workout. Plus if you mix things up it keeps it fun and interesting for you as you work out!

5. I learned some different workouts as well. 

For my first day February 20. I found a workout online and tried it.. Here is what I did:

Thanks pintrist. Before following this picture I did some stretching and ran a mile before and after my workout. I continuously drank water through the whole workout. 

Take your time and work hard. If you can't go fast don't. Go slower and focus on the muscles, you will preform better the more you work out.

Here is another photo to help you if you found that that alone was not enough try adding these ab work outs to the list as well:
