Despite No Student Visa, Arnold Schwarzenegger Found a “Loophole” in American Education System “To Get a Full Load’s Worth of Credits” in College

As the holiday season is over and everyone is getting back to their regular schedule, people are finding it hard to maintain a lifestyle that suits their ideal fit lifestyles. To get the perfect guidance on such a balance, a fan, a student going back to school, turned to Arnold Schwarzenegger for advice. He talked about his own experience and how he used to handle such a situation while being enrolled in three different colleges at the same time.

When the fan asked for meal prep hacks, the seven-time Mr. Olympia confessed, “When I was in school, I mostly used a lot of protein shakes.” Now one may wonder why was his schedule so tight and why he went to three different schools. Well, the answer might surprise everyone.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s unique situation

Arnold largely built his career off bodybuilding, something that did not require many educational credits. However, Schwarzenegger realized the importance of a college education and decided to enroll himself. However, he was faced with a setback, as he was not a US citizen and did not have a student visa, which is required to be eligible to apply. He did not let this stop him as he explained, “I wasn’t on a student visa, I could not take a full load. But I saw a loophole that I could take a few classes at three different colleges and get a full load’s worth of credits…”

Schwarzenegger further added, “I was driving between three colleges and didn’t have time for food.” Arnold never disappoints his fans when it comes to imparting his experienced knowledge. He has viewed every setback as a stepping stone to achieve something great. Besides life advice, the actor also imparts fitness advice to his fans. After being a major part of the fitness industry, the former bodybuilder has now come to terms with some exercises that can improve one’s health more clinically than one might think.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s advice to reduce heart diseases

Schwarzenegger had three heart surgeries of his own and thus has understood the equation to go past the seemingly inevitable problem. He suggested taking the five flights of stairs or at least 50 steps. Which, according to him, can have a better effect on the heart than one can imagine. He stated, “Research suggests that taking the stairs daily can cut your risk of heart disease or stroke by 20 percent.”
