Despite bidding goodbye to competitive bodybuilding decades ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger still provides fans with value-added insights about training and fitness, like he recently revealed the foolproof formula to ensure that gym workouts yield visible results.

Schwarzenegger's online health and fitness newsletter, Arnold's Pump Club, has touched thousands of lives worldwide. On March 17, a fan took to X to comment on Arnold’s motivational post, which carried the caption, “Don’t wait to feel like it. Just start.” The fan shared how his life has changed since joining Arnold’s Pump Club and how he’s now made those habits a permanent part of his routine.

Responding to the fan, ‘The Austrian Oak’ revealed the absolute truth about building a good physique. He stated, “I always love hearing this, but remember, there will be days when you don’t want to show up. If it happens to me, it can happen to anyone.” He further added, “And on those days, when you show up anyway, you guarantee your success.”

Apparently, Schwarzenegger stressed the importance of having a disciplined approach towards working out. His remarks implied that skipping sessions certainly won't help an individual achieve their desired results.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Advice For Beginners

When a fan asked Arnold what advice he would give to youngsters starting their bodybuilding journey, Arnold answered through his newsletter, saying, “For a lot of people, that first step is the hardest. So find something, anything, you can do.”

He further added, “If you have been completely sedentary, go on a 30-minute walk. If you walk all the time and you have never done any strength training, you don’t need equipment: do 5 pushups, then do 5 squats. If your heart’s beating fast, rest for a minute. Now do 4 pushups, and 4 squats.”

‘The Austrian Oak’ highlighted that if rest is needed, one should take it, but afterward, try to do “3 pushups and 3 squats. Then 2 and 2, then 1 and 1.” According to him, the most important thing is to maintain momentum and stay in the flow.
