Sat Sri Akal,
Exercise is very important as is a balanced diet to make sure your body stays fit and healthy. When you work out, your muscles will naturally get bigger, that is the way they were designed. There is nothing wrong with that. It is only wrong if you take drugs or other enhancements to make them unnaturally large. Not only is that against Sikhism, it is bad for your health.
Waheguru gave you muscles so that you can use your body. As long as everything you do is natural, it is perfectly fine. In fact, Sikhs are supposed to be strong so that they can protect themselves and their community.
Remember, as long as it is natural exercise, it is perfectly fine.
Gur Fateh,
HSD
