Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is approaching 80, he still makes it a point to pump iron, and his girlfriend and physical therapist, Heather Milligan, also helped him in one of his workout sessions.

A video shared by the New York Post on February 27, 2024, displayed Milligan assisting in Schwarzenegger's leg workout session with her insights.

Schwarzenegger, who himself has faced several knee injuries throughout his career, said, "I’ve been having knee problems my whole life. From all the squatting and from the skiing and running and jogging and all those kinds of things. So, she’s the expert in that."

The 51-year-old physical therapist had an easy fix for that, demonstrating a wall sit that targets both quads and hamstrings.

Moreover, Milligan suggested adding a resistance band right above your knees while pushing your knees out slightly to maximise glute extension, hitting all essential leg muscles with one simple exercise.

However, their chemistry goes beyond sharing workouts. Schwarzenegger, who raved about Milligan being the “best physical therapist in the world," shared that the couple has a lot more in common.

The power couple of the celebrity bodybuilding world

Schwarzenegger first met Heather Milligan in 2012, when she helped fix a shoulder injury that he suffered on the Escape Plan film set. That's when the couple grew closer together following the bodybuilder's split with his previous wife.

In a chat with PEOPLE while marketing the release of his book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, Schwarzenegger opened up about his decade-long relationship with Milligan.

"I think the world of her. I love that she’s into working. She’s clearly independent. She just is driven as h---," the Terminator actor shared.

Moreover, what attracts Schwarzenegger to Milligan is her determination and resilience, carrying herself alone through Master's with jobs like bartending.

And it is this thread of pushing through adversities and life's challenges that ties the couple together.

Can you think of any other celebrity couple who support each other like Schwarzenegger and Milligan?
