Is Body Building a Dangerous Sport? By Tony Hartmann & Nicholas Kidd
Body building is widely practiced by men and women all over the globe. The most common cause for pursuing this sport is achieving a better-defined body and appearance. However, very few stop to take into consideration the risks involved in body building.
The Risks of Extreme Sports
Body building is, in a way, an extreme sport. Those who practice it often overdo the growth of their muscles in order to be the best and win a competition or title.
The consequences of over-working your body can often be serious, if not to your health, then at least to your appearance at a later stage in life. Extreme growth of the muscle will over-stretch the skin, causing stretch marks when you stop exercising eventually, as well as flabby skin.
Gaining weight is yet another factor that may happen once you stop exercising, especially if you have overdone your exercise. Once you give up the strict diet that most body builders follow, as well as exercising, the body will gain weight very quickly.
How to Avoid Damaging Your Body
The best way to avoid serious damage to your body is by exercising moderately and under the supervision of an instructor. While body building, you must follow a strict protein diet. After you have given up exercising, you must continue doing this, because if you suddenly stop the protein intake and replace it with regular food, the body will not recognize it and will start assimilating it as fat.
Exercise regularly even after you have achieved the desired look and body. If you should stop all exercise at once, the body will yet again start gaining weight, as it will not recognize

Helpful Tips
Always exercise moderately and eat healthy balanced meals whether you are practicing or not. When the body gets used to a certain type of exercise it is very hard for it to adjust to a slower lifestyle, and that is what caused most ex-sports men and women to gain weight.
It is important that you never take to an extreme level. Practice it with a qualified instructor who will help prevent any side affects in the present and future.
Be aware that anything done in excess will cause harm even if it is exercising. Therefore, moderation is the key to success and a healthy lifestyle.

New Happenings this Week A recent study showed that the classic sit-up is not the best exercise for stronger, flatter abdominals. This exercise generally involves the hip muscles instead of the abdominals, and in most cases, places an unnecessary amount of strain on the lower back.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week Carbohydrate is the predominant energy source for strength training. Stored as glycogen in the muscles, it is the fuel used to supply energy for short, intense bursts of power. The harder and longer you work out, the more glycogen your muscles require. Once these stores of glycogen are gone your energy level will drop and you will run out of fuel to power muscle contractions. For this reason, athletes doing strength training exercise in the hopes of building lean muscle need to have an adequate carbohydrates intake. Experts recommend at least 500 to 600 grams of carbohydrate per day to keep your muscle glycogen stores high. You can base your personal requirement on the following formula: 3.6gr carb x body wt(lbs)= grams carb/day
