Bodybuilding & Fitness Center

Written by Jeremy OConnell 37 Comments

There is an intense interest in both bodybuilding and fitness in our country. Body building is especially interesting because it used to be just for young guys, but no longer. There are lots of women and older men who invest the time to create a fabulous body.

I admit that I'm not a fan of the bodybuilding-magazine-cover folks with the bulging veins. Ugh. But there's no reason to look like that. You can still be in superb shape without looking a bit … freakish. Want to know my ideal woman, physically speaking? It's Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2. If I could pick a body out of a magazine and have mine be just like that, hers is the body I would choose. Still, I've lost 58.4 pounds so far and am moving in that direction.

So, if you're interested in bodybuilding, fitness or exercise, here's a page on BlissPlan that will be frequently updated as we move through this fascinating subject. We won't include everything, though, so that you won't faint when you look at the page. :-)

    When I was losing weight, I lifted weights instead of doing the cardio that most women do. Building muscle is a very important component of exercise even when you are trying to lose weight. Women tend to be afraid to build muscle but when they don’t work on that, they are missing out on a quick and effective way of staying in shape.

      Sasha, I use weights too – both free weights and my weight machine. I use them for two reasons:

      1) My mom had osteoporosis and I don’t ever want that horrible problem.
      2) Muscle requires a lot more calories than fat so it’s easier to stay lean and in shape.

      You are so right about building muscle. Muscle helps increase our bodies natural metabolizim; thus, burning more calories naturally. I have noticed that when I build muscle, I don’t loose much weight because the muscle is heavier than fat. I usually notice that my clothes start to fit a lot better. I think some women find that building muscle and loosing a lot of weight do not go hand in hand a lot of times…just because the muscle is heavier than fat.

    Bodybuilding & Fitness Center is getting popular for build up body and well being. It is really true that many old men as well as women go to Bodybuilding & Fitness Center regularly. This article contains valuable information about bodybuilding. I would like to thank for sharing this.

      Good for ‘old men’. :-) Living ‘x’ number of years is no excuse for becoming a sedentary blob as so many of us do. That’s really a shame when we humans allow ourselves to deteriorate.

    Great write up. I’m tired of all the feminine work out routines to help women get in the perfect hour glass shape while leaving guys with almost no options other than the steroid induced Hulk look. It’s good to see some content to help motivate and point us in the right direction of looking good and feeling good, with good tone and shape without the bulging veins and muscles

      Brad, you mean you don’t want to have green skin and look like The Hulk? :-) I agree totally – it’s not very attractive. Have you ever looked at the guys on the front of those body building magazines? Yuck!

      Way to go, Raine! The way she looks in Terminator 2 is so incredibly awesome! She was living proof (she’s dead now, sadly) that women can build muscle without looking like a steroid-bulging guy. I’ve tried to find a poster of her from T2 to use as inspiration but have been unsuccessful so far. :-(

    Building muscle is a great way to replace fat and is a great option instead of purely cardio based work outs. A bit of muscle tone always looks great, as long as its not too overboard!

      I know what you mean about ‘overboard’. I don’t know why anyone wants to see their veins protruding? Yet that seems to be a goal of serious body builders. Eeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwww!

    I am lucky to be born with great metabolism, so if i work out too much–I do look a bit freakish. Freakish thin. There’s some great ideas here and I’m glad to have read this. Straight cardio just kills me as it is. I love to mix and match and want to get a bit of muscle tone in my arms especially to avoid hangy skin.

    I have been reading this more and more lately, that adding weights to your weight loss routine is a great way to burn fat. It makes since as lean muscle actually burns fat. I think it is great that you have lost close to 60 pounds. It is also great that you are sharing your experience. Thank you for sharing what you are doing and how having weights in your routine has helped you.

      It’s amazing but I actually ENJOY using weights – unlike lots of other exercise programs. And when we enjoy doing something, it’s much easier to stick with it. It’s very meditative, instead of throwing our bodies around in a frenzy.

    I myself do not find the “bodybuilders” and their extremely big physique to be impressive. They don’t look like they can move. I am working on building muscle myself. I am incorporating a little bit of martial arts into my work out as well. My goal is to have a body that is like Jason Statham’s, Michael Jai White’s or anyone who is not all that big, but still muscular.

      I LOVE the way Jason Statham looks! He’s tough and strong without looking like a muscle-bound freak. So cool.

    I agree, I don’t find the intense physical shape of body builders to be attractive either. Personally, I opt for a more toned appearance, and I work specifically on my abs and biceps with simple exercises like press ups and crunches. I will be very interested to learn more from this page! :)

    To stay in shape my daughter and I participate in tae kwon do lessons! It is great strength training and conditioning for the body! Not to mention the added peace of mind of being about to defend yourself in case the situation arises!

    I really need to get fit and in shape, I’m not looking for the bodybuilder body neither, just some well toned abs, arms and legs, although my legs are already pretty good, and the arms can get a little bigger, but the abs are the big issue.

      I LOVE the way she looked! We have to look great in a healthy way, though. Some people have killed themsevles – literally – with their so-called health plan. Linda, smoked, unfortunately and she died of cancer. Feeling physically fabulous is just a pearl beyond price.

      I think most women worry that we’re going to look like those guys on the covers of magazines with the bulging muscles and veins sticking out. But we’re not – women have to take steroids to look like that. The best reason for women to do body building, I think, is because it makes our bones so much stronger.
