A way to get "ripped" without weights?

[Conservative,]

Okay so atm I'm not fat - far from it - but I want to get a bit more muscle on me.

I eat between 2000-3000 calories a day, but I don't put on much weight because of a very high metabolism...

My mum won't let me go to the gym because lifting weights apparently puts strain on my heart and stuff, so I'm not allowed to do that (but the day I move out I'm signing up to the nearest gym lol).

I was wandering if there is a way to get "ripped" or a bit more muscle without lifting weights? Bear in mind I have a heart condition so a 5k run every evening is a big nono. Something simple that I can do in my own home would be nice...

What I do for sport/exercise normally:

Walk to & from school..about 1/2 mile either way.
Exercise bike for maybe half hour on the days I feel like it.
Skiing 1-2 times a week (anywhere between 1 and 4/5 hours)

obviously that's not much and I want to do more so any good suggestions will be helpful.

+rep to good suggestions.

I can amost guarantee you don't eat as many calories as you should be and also eat more protein.
As for what you say you do all of those things burn calories so thats probably contributing to the fact you don't gain weight, also at home workouts id say pushups are really good, aswell as chin ups and situps/crunchs/ different ab workouts.

Cool thanks. What do you recommend for protein? (Also I have a drink with 600+ calories in I have twice a day, a pretty sizeable lunch & then a big dinner, I think have at least 2500 calories, if not more).

It's a good investment to buy protein shakes, my friend orders them online regulary and the progress he has made is quite good.

Im no expert but what i've been doing is eating as much protein as you weigh (example: if you weigh 200pounds then eat 200g of protein per day - not sure what that is in the UK conversion). As for protein lots of stuff has it a few examples are; eggs, nuts, peanut butter, milk , cheese, fish, beef, chicken, tofu, yogurt etc. Also i think your body can only intake like 40g of protein per 2-3 hours (so say you eat 70g of protein within that time the 30g is just wasted). So to maximize your protein intake you should eat smaller meals but every 2-3 hours. Also if you don't mind me asking how tall and how much do you weigh that'll help in figuring out your ideal weight and such
