What do I need to do to get the body I want?

I am a 16 year old male, I want to get my body into shape. Im more wanting to shape my Chest and Stomach. I have a bowflex and ab loung available to use. Ive talked with my dad a bit and he has told me that excersive and a diet will fix this.

What diet plan should a 16 year old use? I am at 140 pounds, (I am slim). Do I need to diet to keep my body shaped? What do you guys suggest I do to get my body at my desired level?

    take protein shakes and starting lifting weights…the protein will help you gain weight and the weight lifting will convert that weight into muscle.

    When you use the Bowflex or Ab Lounger, do the movements as SLOW as you can. I know that’s boring because guys want to do a lot instead. It’s the "point of fatigue" where you can do even one more that will give you the body you want.

    It will take about 1 week to see some results, and by 6 weeks you’ll really look different!

    Don’t rush through the exercise machines or do them fast. All that does is burn calories, not build muscle!

    You should actually use the bowflex if you want to look like the guy in the bowflex commercial.
