BodyBuilding

To some level, anyone who is partaking in exercise to improve their physical shape and condition is a bodybuilder. Bodybuilding by its very nature is exercising and dieting to improve yourself aesthetically.

Bodybuilding as a sport is an extreme level of training and dieting. Bodybuilders are judged on musculature (relative muscle mass), symmetry of their physique, posing and definition (low body fat and water levels). The aim is to show off their bodies to a panel of judges to be awarded points. The bodybuilder who scores the most points overall from the aforementioned categories is the winner.
Over the last 40 years bodybuilding has grown and bodybuilders can earn huge sums of money through good results in competitions, sponsorship and appearance fees.
