Victims of Bigorexia practice sports and train in excessive amounts. Practicing sports or exercising is an excellent way to be healthy, but when exercise is done in extreme amounts it may be very dangerous. The most frequent and known consequences are broken bones, pain of tendons, muscle pain, joint pain, high blood pressure, heart diseases, sleeplessness, irritability, lack of appetite, constant tiredness and difficulty concentrating.

Most bigorexic people over exercise even when they are tired or when they feel pain. This may lead to diverse problems. “In an article that was [written] after [an] investigation by Dr. Brenda Woods and Dr. Kevin Wandler in 2006 for the organization “Finding Balance”, it was found that people whom had a severe bigorexia problem work out and exercise even when they are injured”. One of the main risks of this mental disorder is “Overuse Syndrome”, which is damage to locomotor system because of long term overload in the body.

People who are training correctly, exercise based on a specific program that is prescribed by a professional physical trainer; this schedule also includes certain resting periods that are considered to let the body rest and recover from a finished exercise. In most cases bigorexic people just start their training and exercise without a specified program. This may cause problems because muscles need a certain amount of time to regenerate and to prepare for the next training session. Bigorexic people continue overworking their bodies without rest, and it may cause pain in the muscles, joints and tendons.

A mix of anabolic steroids, energy drinks and continuous exercise raises blood pressure and heart activity which may develop into heart problems such as hypertension. This dangerous mix may be a way to develop heart diseases because energy drinks and anabolic steroids contain substances that accelerate heart rate and in a combination with a big amount of exercise this puts the heart under a constant work load which can lead to the development of heart problems.

Bigorexy may cause many physical issues because it is a disease that is mainly focused on the reflection that people see in the mirror. People get obsessed with the idea that they need to get more muscular mass and they do things that lead to physical problems. An important fact is that when somebody is training hard, he or she should be supervised by a professional to avoid future physical problems.
