Return To Bodybuilding Article Archive   The Top 4 Body Building Benefits You Never Considered By The 'Muscle Nerd', Jeff Anderson Surprise Body Building Benefit #1: You probably lowered your cholesterol...a LOT! The byproduct of inactivity and excess flab is an LDL thats way too high, HDL thats too low, and triglycerides off the charts. Essentially a heart attack waiting to happen. One of the best body building benefits is getting all these cholesterol readings to a healthy, normal level. Of course, if you mess around with steroids, this ones a goner. Surprise Body Building Benefit #2: Strong bones. Again, unless youre doing bonehead diet or drug stuff thats leaching calcium from your bones. In that case, better invest in a good rocking chair and cane, because youre going to crumple like a soda can in old age. Among the many benefits you get from lifting weights is that all this movement and weight-bearing activity helps to prevent osteoporosis. Surprise Body Building Benefit #3: Flexibility. OK, youre probably not ready to join the citys ballet troupe, but if youve been training correctly with proper warm up and stretching (during and after your workout when your muscles are warmed up!), then youre the poster boy for four areas of body building benefits: strength (duh), flexibility, endurance, and balance. Surprise Body Building Benefit #4: You can tackle that honey-do list without getting exhausted. OK, man of steel, admit it. You may be built like a Mack truck, but when your perfect specimenship helps attract some lovely young lady, youll melt like a tub of goo. Putty in her hands, youll gladly move the sofa here, there, and back to where it started just because she asked. The body building benefit here? You can do domestic manual labor all day without pulling, spraining, wrenching, or tearing anything... and you get to be the hero.
