WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) Body building is not new. It started long ago, but today it has grown to be much more. <\/p>\n
Now you have several divisions, Michael Broadway said. Theres womens physique, figure, mens physique, classic physique, and bikini. So now its broader and bigger. <\/p>\n
No pun intended. <\/p>\n
Michael Broadway is the coach of Team Broadway here in Wilmington and he says that to be a body builder, you have to have a certain mindset. But in addition to a mindset, being an athlete like this takes a lot of work. However, despite misconceptions, these athletes say theres more to body building than working out. <\/p>\n
Its a very healthy lifestyle and its all of it combined but you cant just come in here and work out, you cant just take the supplements and you cant just eat, Adrian Gonzalez said. Its the whole lifestyle in general. <\/p>\n
If youre ready for the work, you can be a body builder. Kristina Bell is a mom of three but still loves the lifestyle. <\/p>\n
I love working out, its always been a part of my lifestyle, Bell said. Its a good stress reliever and it keeps me level and calm. It just makes me feel good and an endorphin rush. <\/p>\n
The rush of endorphins comes when they hit the stage. For members of this team, theyre living a healthy lifestyle while building confidence. <\/p>\n
I feel like its the best me when Im on point and on track, Saraa Sydnor said. Sometimes I dont want to struggle but I think thats what makes you stronger. <\/p>\n
