As Part of His $1000 Fitness Challenge, Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares a Grueling Workout to Finish the Year Strong

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Christmas and New Year Celebrations include an intense workout routine, and his village will join him for a year-ending workout routine in 2023. The 7x Mr. Olympia started a $1000 challenge earlier this month to build the momentum for a fit lifestyle in his village, and many shared their workout routines with Arnie on social media. 

Now, Arnie has the next workout routine in the Finish Strong Challenge for the final week of December, which includes a grueling workout routine for village members. The agenda is to end the year with a pump. 

Arnold’s favorite supersets

Unlike many who wait for New Year’s Eve to make fresh resolutions, the 76-year-old is inclined to build the momentum up to New Year. So, he asked his fitness tribe to kickstart their fitness journey in early December and posed them with a $1000 fitness challenge. The participants must share their workouts following the Arnold’s Pump Club’s routine on social media, and the three lucky fitness freaks will win $1000. 

The Governator believes the monetary touch-up is to incentivize his village for a fit life. The Terminator icon shared his favorite supersets workout routine in his newsletter as the final month of the year is coming to an end.

Schwarzenegger has been sharing inspiring stories of fitness freaks taking up his challenge. One such story Arnie highlighted was of Deccan Gill, a young kid who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The fatal condition weakens the muscles, and the cure is yet to be found. However, the little kid enjoys his life to the fullest.
