What is Arnold Schwarzeneggers Workout Secret? A Valuable Gym Lesson
This video of Arnold Schwarzenegger being interviewed by Logan Paul popped up on my feed.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been exercising longer than I have been on this planet, literally.
So I think there is actually a valuable lesson to be learned from this.
If you find a group of people who have been exercising in the gym for decades and ask them what their secrets are, do you know what you probably won't hear?
You probably won't hear much about discipline and motivation. They often don't need to dig deep into their willpower bucket every morning to find the motivation to go to the gym.
No, on the contrary. Many people who have exercised for decades have simply embedded exercise so deeply into their regular routine that it has become a habit.
Habits are often instinctive, they require less willpower, not more.
We all know that exercise is health-promoting yet a huge number of people struggle to stay consistent with a routine.
And this is why we need to shift our focus away from all the flashy distractions that the fitness industry has and instead simply focus on trying to get people to engrain some form of physical activity into their every day life.
