The CEO Amateur Olympia Pakistan said bodybuilding is a very healthy activity for body and mind. He said there are certain misconceptions surrounding the field of bodybuilding which need to be dispelled. He said proper nutrition and correct way of exercise are necessary to build muscles. He said transformation of body is possible even in a month depending on diet and exercises.
