Another great thing to use for your situps/crunches is one of those excersise balls. You can get them basically any where for about $5. You have to use basically all the muscles in your stomach to stabalize yourself when you use it.
As for gaining weight, everyone is giving you good advice. I have a friend that isn't a big framed guy, in fact he is naturally skinny. Now he's about 5"10, and weights 204. Dude competes in body-building competitions and this guy is dedicated. Aside from living at the gym he eats about every 2 hours, usually a bowl of plain pasta with a can of tuna. He also eats a dozen eggs a day, and usually a bag of lintels(some type of nasty ass looking bean). I think his calorie intake is something like 6000+ a day, with x percentage of that being high protien foods. As someone else pointed out, short of steroids this is the kind of life you can look forward to if you are naturally small and want to get huge.
