 I've read a lot about excercises to LOSE weight, but what if you want to excer-
cise not to lose weight but simply to stay in shape.  What if, for example, you
are already underweight and simply cannot afford to lose an ounce, but want to
stay in shape.  My questions:  Does anyone know of excercises aimed at simply
staying fit with out weight loss, and, what diet and supplements could be
employed to actually increase one's weight in spite of rigorous excercises?   
Also, does anyone know of a particularly good excercise (besides jogging) that
would be good for leg muscles.  I have bad knees, so the excercise cannot be of
a very trumatic nature.  In short, I want to PUT on fat as well as increase my
muscle mass.  

 I recently purchased a rowing machine, the kind with shock absorbers, and
the ability to excercise in a half dozen different postures, i.e. rowing, curls,
bench presses, etc.  Any feedback from experienced 'rowers' would be grateful.
