Is body-building unhealthy? - Faw_Peter - 05-22-2008
I want to begin practicing body-building, but all of my friends and relatives say it is not healthy, ‘cause I exhaust my organism. Anybody, considerations?

If you begin body-building, you should first of all read some materials and instructions(there are a lot of them on the web) :-) ,aslo talk with someone that is practising body-building for several years,ask him about his programm
The body-building is unhelathy only if you are practising it wrongly,if you don't eat,rest and train right. ;-)

If someone have spine problems for example it is not recommended for him to pull heavy weights.
Some yoga or pilates exercise will be more beneficial in this case.

peter, did you know that body-building is not a sport, it is a way to destroy your health. Take a look at Schwarzenegger, if he was poor, he would die because about 3 expensive surgeries have been made to his heart.

no, hard athletics is also dangerous to practice, I would recommend running.

I use to run each morning about 6 kilometre, I feel very good. Terry that's a nice advice. However before begin running you should consult a doctor or a specialist who can estimate your health and sugget you the exact distance you must run
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - Terry - 06-18-2008
don't be too naive! You're an adult, so you must feel how much you should run. If you're a biginner, the first distance to run should be about 1 kilometre. Each week this distance can be increased by 500 metres. Tested on me!

Peter don't you listen to them. What is really important is that girls like muscled boys ;-) so go ahead and pump the iron!
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - Terry - 07-05-2008
watch these pictures and tell me, do you really wanna be a body builder?
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - M.Helen - 07-07-2008
These are crazy men! I like strong men, but these are artificial ones! I bet they can't satisfy sexually a girl!

I don't find body-builders attractive - light, lean muscle is better. The hottest guys I know are in my Kickboxing class :mrgreen: or do manual work, such as blacksmithing or doing conservation work on weekends. There's actually a "Green Gym" initiative, where you work outdoors for a Conservation Trust one day a week 8-)
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - M.Helen - 09-01-2008
what is with that "Green Gym initiative" you mentioned?
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - Big_Becka - 09-02-2008
Here is a site about Green Gyms: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www2.btcv.org.uk/display/greengym">http://www2.btcv.org.uk/display/greengym</a><!-- m -->
Essentially, you just volunteer to do work :roll: But it can be fun: laying footpaths, planting trees, etc.
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - M.Helen - 09-04-2008
wow, so are there really volunteers wishing to do these jobs? Well-done for them. You kill two rabbits - improve your physical condition and help the environment.

It depend on what you are calling bodybuilding.
professional BB is unhealthy only, like any other professional sport. Proper training and wise use of small doses of steroids will never make you unhealthy.
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - Steven - 09-25-2008
steroids must be totally avoided! They will harm your sexual power!
Re: Is body-building unhealthy? - Lorry - 12-29-2009
There is no reason to do that, why, because it is beautiful?, no it is not beautiful, it is exaggerated beauty because it is not natural, they are using doping, some proteins which are not good for the organism. It is better to go to a force hall.
