Ever since the fitness craze in the 1980s, we have become a
nation increasingly aware of our health and physique. Millions of dollars are spent every year in the quest for a perfect body. Gyms are
big business, personal trainers are making a tidy living helping people
stay fit, and bodybuilding supplements are at an all-time level of
performance.
In actuality, the sport of bodybuilding has been around for quite some time. In the late 19th century, the man is known as the “father of bodybuilding”, Eugen Sandow was credited with inventing the sport by inviting people to view his body in muscle display performances.
Sandow built a stage performance around displays of strength and agility as well as showing off a “Grecian” physique which was considered the ultimate body. He became so successful, he created
several businesses around his fame and was among the first people to
market body building products bearing his name. As he became more
popular, he was credited with the invention of the first exercise
equipment marketed to the masses.
