Aesthetics in Bodybuilding

The idea for my Inquiry Project is Aesthetics, a Lifestyle. If you dont know what Aesthetics is its a form of bodybuilding, which I will do most of my project about, and also a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of art, beauty and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty. It focuses on improving the look of your physique by adding lean muscle mass and toning. It’s going to take a whole lifestyle change. The word Aesthetic in Greek philosophy means to have an appreciation in beautiful things like nature and symmetry. That’s why we always see the Greek statues of the gods having these very perfect, muscular bodies that make them look godly. Even way back then this idea of aesthetics was changing the way that the Greeks looked at everything in everyday life. Now in our society it has branched off to include everything from running to stay in thin shape to gaining an enormous amount of muscle in professional bodybuilding like Phil Health. Jeff Seid is only one example in the bodybuilding world of a lifestyle change you have to make for aesthetics.

So far I have two people that I have researched and now I'm working on adding some more history behind the concept of Aesthetics.
