I want to confess that years before doing bodybuilding. I've used to smoke like 35 cigarettes per day, I was overweight and stress rash on my face.
I also had in the past some panic attacks, and other mental problems.

The gym changed my life completely. I have an really nice body, my skin is good.

And my brain works at 100 percent. I have more confidence. everything got better.

I hope that if somebody have depression or other problems, like anxiety, read this and give it a try.

Love from Argentina!

The health benefits, mental strength, and overall self improvement that results from bodybuilding are huge, and more awareness should be made around them rather than the negative stereotypes people have

He did not talk about the energy level but when you train, you actually have more energy to do things at night after your whole day at work instead of just watching tv. You can plan something and actually achieve it because there is gas left in the tank. I always hear people say they are tired. I'm tired too, but after a training session at the gym, I have a reason to be tired!

[TheLiveTillDeath]

The most valuable thing I learned on bodybuilding is
to take rest when I get tired or cannot keep on because of injury,
NOT TO QUIT.

I watched this video 5 years ago and was inspired by it. Then I signed up for a gym membership and my life got changed completely, I do not mean I can lift 100kg weights or do 100 pushups but I am healthier and happier . Until now I still often go to the gym 4 times a week. Sometimes I remember to this video and feel grateful. Thank you for this inspiring video.

Started working out with only body weight in 1971/2? My uncle helped and he said arm circles, push ups, pull ups, grip strength and leg development are the keys.

In 1977 & 1978 I entered power lifting contest. I did well and it gave me strength, determination, tenacity and commitment. I am 66+ now. I still try and remain active today in weight training, bicycling, RUCKING, HIKING, WALKING DOGS and kayaking. Get off the couch.

I am not afraid of death, i am afraid of not living life to the fullest.

Body building made me quit drinking lean(prescription syrup), made me stay away from drugs that were actually ruining my life, those drugs made me lose a lot of appetite, I would be looking at good food and I'll be unable to eat, and I'm a very skinny guy. Body building gave me a lot of determination to get the results I wanted and made me quit anything that stood in my way. It changed my life drastically.

[PoetPedro]

Love this message and over time I too managed to apply this message to my life and at 41 I am healthier and stronger than any other stage of my life.

[MischaWorldwide]

Thanks for having me TED :) Did my best even without my Slides =D

I believe this. I was going through depression after failing school and losing everything. I also had an accident that broke my tibia and plateau fracture. I lost weight and became more confident, it has nothing to do with looking good, but getting the mental image of strength to make it in this harsh world. Every time I do physical therapy I feel like a new man, and my doctors see this. I can now walk unlike a few months ago. Later, I WILL RUN!

I have scoliosis as well! It's what has motivated me to work out and take care of myself, getting better everyday with less pain. I'm so happy to see my dreams aren't completely out of reach because of my back. This guy gives me hope!!

[sauravshah]

Bodybuilding has helped me understand myself

[CherieDeDieu]

Love this...and it is so true. Exercise/Weight lifting has been a literal healer for my depression; and now I am considering becoming a natural bodybuilder.
