Most women workout to stay in shape. The same is true for men. Bodybuilders, both male and female are people that take up exercise as a profession or hobby the same way athletes take up sport. Bodybuilders are important because they pioneer most of the methods and techniques that other people use to exercise.
You can find many of these plans on the internet now-a-days. A few of these are the Triple Threat Muscle, Fearless 45, Jeff Anderson's Optimum Anabolic Program, the Ronnie Coleman Program, etc. All of these programs are a combination of techniques and exercises that are targeted at building muscle.
Thanks to popular media most of us think of exercising as either going to the gym or getting up early and running. While this is not truly necessary, going to the gym defiantly helps. Running is a great way to stay fit. In fact if you join a gym you will find that half of your workout schedule will be dedicated to cardio related activities. A person that has been running or performing some form of cardio exercise will find it easier to gain muscle. This is because the person's metabolism is already primed and the stamina they have built from running, cycling, etc helps them with the other exercises. So, in conclusion running and cycling are two activities that need to be included in daily workout plan. Even bodybuilders do cardio in the form of jogging or aerobics.
The diet is also very important when it comes to gaining muscle. If you are a 9 to 5 person stuck at a desk for most of work day then your metabolism is going to slow. In order to get the body to burn calories and convert the food that is consumed, the basal metabolism needs to be increased. This can be done either through exercise or diet. As mentioned in the previous paragraph cardio gets the metabolism going. It can also be done by tweaking the daily diet. The trick to this is consuming the same amount of food in smaller proportions. For example, instead of consuming three meals a day with a 5 hour gap in between them, go for 6 meals with less time in between. This will keep the body burning calories through the day, bringing up the metabolic rate.
