Fitness, bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] and age are not against each other but are very much connected. Generally, people think that with age, the flexibility and strength of the body begin to diminish. A certain individual is proving this wrong at the age of 71. Miss May is defying all odds even at this age and is extremely flexible, along with having great strength. She was documented in a short video by Vanja, who is also a young fitness coach, and when she asked her some questions, the answers were enlightening. Let’s see what Miss May has to say about the secret to health and longevity. MISS MAY REVIEWS THE SECRETS TO A HEALTHY LIFE When Vanja asks her to tell her students what is the secret to longevity and health, she has a profound answer to it. Miss May says, “Move, our body designed to move. Not for staying sitting on the sofa. And watching other people what they do.” After that Vanja further asks “What’s the best skill you have?”, to which Miss May answers “Perhaps for my age, very soon 71 years old. So you getting old and your body not only needs muscle, you also need to exercise”. Along with this, she highlighted three things: flexibility, body cooperation, and balance.

She has 719K followers on Instagram and trains people online. She was very impressed by the woman and thanked her for the advice.

She does handstands, backbends, lifts weights and loves to learn every day and inspire others. Her secret to health and longevity? – JUST MOVE”. Legends such as Arnold Schwarzenneger [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] also have said the same thing. When he was 32 years old he had said “When you get older, you should slowly decrease the body weight, leaner and leaner because it’s better for your heart,”. The video not only showed Miss May answering questions, but also her flexibility. She was doing handstands and splits like a pro, and her age did not come in the way.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
