After His Emotional Confession About Age, 75-Y.O. Arnold Schwarzenegger Spills the Beans on a Bizarre Anti-Aging Secret

Seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger recently sat down for an interview with Chris Wallace. During the interview, Schwarzenegger talked in depth about his life and achievements. However, when Chris Wallace asked Arnie about aging, the bodybuilding legend didn’t give an optimistic answer. The former bodybuilding champion revealed that he despised his body as he lost the vitality of youth. However, that didn’t stop the 75-year-old from pursuing health and wellness.

The 75-year-old regularly workouts at Gold’s gym and is fitter than many people his age. Now the evergreen action hero has revealed that exercising might be paying off in more ways than one. In the latest edition of ‘Arnold’s Pump Club,’ the bodybuilding icon revealed a bizarre relationship between working out and aging.

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a startling revelation

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s newsletter, which he calls the positive corner of the internet, is all about fitness tips, exercise, diet, and praises of people who have made a difference with their efforts. However, in a recent edition of his newsletter, Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about how exercising helps a person’s skin look younger.

“A little bit of sweat might be the skincare solution you didn’t realize you needed,” Arnie wrote in a bizarre statement. However, his statement carried more nuance, which he elaborated on. The 75-year-old highlighted a study that found regular weight training and aerobic workouts “resulted in skin improvements, such as better skin elasticity, dermal structure, and skin tone.”

According to the Hollywood action star, working out “defends your skin against the natural aging of the cells in your skin” by helping the body fight inflammation. The study also found that exercise increases the body’s collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps the skin become healthier. However, one doesn’t need to train like a bodybuilder to get these benefits.

Training intensity is not the priority per Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger said the people participating in the study didn’t train like athletes. The people who did cardio exerted only 65 to 75 percent of their effort for 30 mins. The group that performed weight training did six exercises. They performed three sets of 10 reps. Professional bodybuilders and athletes train for far longer with far more intensity.

This could be a reason why the study especially attracted Arnie. In his newsletter, Arnold Schwarzenegger recommends short and moderate-intensity workouts, that even the busiest person can find time for. Hence, many of his readers won’t find the moderate-intensity workout routine too challenging. What did you make of Arnie’s anti-aging secret? Let us know in the comments.
