introduction to bodybuilding

INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone there! bodybuilding is a art in which one's mind and body combines to form a super being that can lift 200 pounds. and believe me 200 pounds is easy to hear but heavy to lift.
Today we all are concerned about the rush in our lives and we all want to be fit in our own way, but due to high increase of stress and being busy, many of us are not able to achieve our goal. But if we are determined and dedicated to our goals we can simply achieve.

i'm not saying that you will achieve your dream body within nights but with little bit of planning and determination you can fulfill your desire to be huge and believe me, i was also one of you who started bodybuilding with nothing but a dream that one day i will have a body that other's will appreciate and after looking at me they will be inspired to do more.

when we talk about bodybuilding all we get in mind is getting huge. this mindset is very common and everyone wants it. but without any knowledge we cannot get there. this planning that i'm talking about is not related to rocket science and with little concern and drafting the layout it gets very simple.

WHAT IS BODYBUILDING

When we combine the mind and body we get the super body that all of us desire as said before. there are only two main parts that are present in bodybuilding that are 1- training  2- nutrition.

TRAINING

The first concern that everyone has is that they have to work really hard in the gym. but i say that you  should not work really that much hard but should work in a smart way. the concept of working out for hours is now scientifically denied but instead you need to workout in a well planned manner according to a particular routine.
training consists of several parts that are 1- strength training 2- cardio training 3- flexibility training
one should keep in mind that all theses training that are mentioned are not as same as the other. They all have different ways and all carry different importance to your body.
when you are opting for a training program you should keep in mind that everyone has a different body structure and different muscle formation. so, to make it easy the body types are differentiated into three main categories that are ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph.

The ectomorph are the body types that have a thin bony structure and they have difficulty to gain muscle mass. But with planning anything is possible so don't lose your spirit.

The endomorph are the body types that have a difficulty in losing weight and thus we can say that this body type is totally different to that of ectomorph. They have high fat levels and also more muscles than the ectomorphs

The mesomorph are the body types that have good muscle fibers and do not face any difficulty to lose weight or to gain mass.
By having this knowledge you can easily select your workout routine.


NUTRITION

Next phase of bodybuilding is nutrition. to nourish your body you should take complete sets of vitamins, proteins(essentials for muscle growth) proper amount of carbohydrates and by this you can get the excess energy which can be then utilised in the gym with iron.

this is a very important factor that contributes entirely in the bodybuilding world. you should be very specific about your supplements. now a days when there is insufficient amount of nutrients in our diet then we have to opt for the supplements that are very easily available in the market and are not very expensive. With every single diet plan it is very much essential that the individual should have a plenty of water intake as it processes the enzymes and nutrients and also flushes out the waste from the body so, anyone who's into bodybuilding should drink a lot of water.

Everyone gives so much stress on nutrition because of the fact that or body is a machine and like any other machine our body also need the essential fuels(nutrients) that will be burnt by the body in order to work. when you go to gym and lift heavy iron your body changes the nutrition that are consumed by you into the fuels for working out that is converted to energy and thus you can lift the weight. so, in order to lift heavy and test your potential consume good amount of proteins, vitamins.

As said before bodybuilding is not rocket science but with continuous work and planning you can achieve what ever goals you have set. Remember if your mind can dream about it you can fulfill it.
