KUCHING<\/strong>: Bodybuilding is not just about competition and should be embraced as part of a healthy lifestyle, says Sarawak Bodybuilding Association (SBBA) president Dr Malvern Abdullah.<\/p>\n\u201cIt is always our hope to see that everyone will promote a healthy lifestyle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr Malvern made the remarks at the Fifth Annual Mr Kuching Bodybuilding Championship at AEON Mall here today (June 13), noting that bodybuilding is known for promoting healthy living.<\/p>\n
He said athletes in the sport practise healthy eating habits and maintain regular physical activity as part of their daily routines.<\/p>\n
Dr Malvern stressed that bodybuilding should not be viewed as a pursuit reserved only for competitive athletes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding muscle is not just for athletes. Bodybuilding is for everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the sport offers numerous benefits, particularly in muscle development and overall physical well-being.<\/p>\n
According to him, bodybuilding also contributes to healthy ageing and improved mobility, allowing individuals to move and walk more easily when they remain fit.<\/p>\n
He added that the sport helps in disease prevention and supports longevity, encouraging people to maintain a consistent fitness lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us continue to promote this good sport of bodybuilding,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he congratulated the Kuching Division Bodybuilding Association (KDBBA) and the organising committee for successfully staging the championship for the fifth consecutive year.<\/p>\n
Dr Malvern also expressed his appreciation to Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii and the event sponsors for their continued support of bodybuilding and fitness development in the state.<\/p>\nFrom left: KDBBA president Adrian Wong, Yii and Dr Malvern in a group photo.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUCHING: Bodybuilding is not just about competition and should be embraced as part of a healthy lifestyle, says Sarawak Bodybuilding Association (SBBA) president Dr Malvern Abdullah. \u201cIt is always our hope to see that everyone will promote a healthy lifestyle,\u201d he said.
