Developing muscles can be difficult for those with high metabolism, still it can be done. There are several routines that many people subscribe to for the "hardgainer", but the main thing to remember is not to lift too much (as skinny bodies tend to over-train quicker than others).
Although it's tempting, you'll only hurt yourself if you try to overtrain. Look out for these signs of overtraining: you have loss of appetite, have trouble sleeping, are tired for no apparent reason, and are gaining weight very slowly, if at all. If that's you, cut back on your training for better results.
One of the major things to keep in mind is that if you have a tendency to overtrain, cut yourself off from exercise after an hour, less if you need to. If you don't, remember that you are going to make all of the training ineffective.
Focus on exercises that are full body, bodyweight exercises. These will give you coordination and strength, and will help you burn fat. The same is true of weightlifting exercises.
Compound exercises, where you are moving two or more joints to complete the movement, are ideal. You can do deadlifts, squats, squat presses(incline, decline, flat), clean and jerks, pull ups and chin-ups, dips, and the military press.
I would forego the isolation exercises in the beginning. Later on you can add a few in at the end of a workout, if you have time left over. These would be exercises that tend to require one joint to complete the movement. Such as: bicep curls, tricep extensions, leg curs, leg extensions. The exception to this rule would be calf raises, I would recommend you do these on your leg day, if you are doing a split routine.
To design a workout routine that's going to get you from underweight to muscular, don't try to reinvent something that has already been done successfully. Instead, use a proven program that's going to teach you how to do it right.
When you get this type of program, follow the program religiously at least at first. After you've gotten used to it, you can develop your own moves and styles to meet your goals.
Getting from thin to muscles require commitment and a great deal of staying power. Your diet will be number one. Develop or acquire a diet program that will help you achieve your goal through an adequate increase in calorie intake. The diet will have to take into consideration the proper proportion of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
If you can't do this yourself, take a look at some diet and nutrition sites and choose a diet that would work for you. It's not guesswork, and you can do it correctly; it will work to follow it at least 90% of the time.
This doesn't have to be difficult, and you can find the knowledge out there already done for you in the products that have what you want. Those who have developed these products have made your mistakes and learn from them; this will save you both time and money, because you won't have to make the same ones.
