Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder.

Basic exercises are exercises that involve a large number of muscles in the body. They are generally multi-joint movements that target the larger muscles of the body, such as chest, back and thighs but also involve the smaller muscles as well such as the shoulders, arms, calves and abs, as auxiliary muscles. Examples of such movements are the close grip chin-ups, wide grip pull-ups, dips, incline dumbbell bench presses, flat bench presses, squats, and lunges.
