We often see that some bodybuilders will paint something black in fitness programs on TV. These things are tanning oil, which can make muscles clear and keep warm. Fitness originated in ancient Greece. At first, they painted their whole bodies with olive oil to represent the meaning of purity and strength. Later, I gradually changed to use tanning oil, which can better reflect bodybuilding and help my health.

First, fitness originated in ancient Greece, because Athena presented an olive tree here and defined it as a symbol of peace and strength. So in the annual Olympic competition, the winner will get a wreath made of olive branches as a crown, which will be the highest reward. All contestants should be painted with olive oil, which represents strength and health. This custom has been passed down by bodybuilders and has become an indispensable auxiliary technology in sports.

Second, fitness needs refueling. At first, fitness athletes applied olive oil. Olive oil has the function of moisturizing and protecting the skin, and it is rich in nutrients to protect skin cells from damage. Especially when exercising, there will be some muscle and skin damage, and olive oil can play a better role. However, with the progress of science and technology, olive oil has gradually turned into tanning oil during fitness competition, which can make muscle lines more distinct and have the effect of heat preservation. For about 20 minutes in a game, tanning oil can better protect the muscles to keep warm and prevent the muscles from shrinking.

You can see that the bodies of the contestants in the fitness competition are all painted with black and shiny things, all like bronze statues. This one is tanning oil, which can make the body muscle lines more prominent and protect the body. From the very beginning, people used olive oil to protect themselves, and now they use high-tech tanning oil to keep warm. It can be seen that the times are constantly progressing and gradually developing in the direction of humanization.
