Let’s get started with some easy exercises for gaining weight with minimum requirements of machines and equipment-

- Lower your back slowly till your nose touches the ground and exhale.
- Being a beginner, repeat as many times as you can.
2. PULLUPS
Upper body muscles need some training to gain muscle mass. You may require a pullup bar or a cylindrical object to perform it. It strengthens the back, shoulder, and arm muscles and improves grip strength.
Follow these simple steps if you are a beginner and require assistance-
