Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a fitness enthusiast since youth. He started his bodybuilding lessons as a teenager and continues to work out despite being in his 70s. The 76-year-old is known for his ripped physique that turned heads on the Mr. Olympia stage. He followed a strict diet and hard training regime to build a physique that earned him the title of the Austrian Oak. However, his son-in-law, Chris Pratt, learned fitness lessons much later in life.
The 44-year-old actor stunned his fans with his ripped physique as the Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. However, his initial movie roles testify that Pratt has not been into fitness since the start.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a fitness icon among the masses. From his bodybuilding days to now, the Austrian Oak has never missed his daily fitness pills. To inspire his followers to lead a healthy lifestyle, the Terminator icon started a fitness newsletter, Arnold Pump Club. However, his eldest daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger’s superhero husband, learned his lessons the hard way.
Chris Pratt, in a 2022 interview with Men’s Health, opened up about his changed eating habits. “Because when I was Andy, I was pretty unhealthy. I can’t believe that I would eat five cheeseburgers for lunch,” he said, mentioning one of his earlier roles as an actor. However, he felt sick of having such large volumes of food.
But he transformed himself to portray superhero roles and action avatars in Hollywood. The happiness while eating changed into a boring routine as he is now more content with the time between his meals. “Now eating is boring. But the times between eating, I feel great. Whereas before eating was fun, but the times between I felt like cr*p,” he narrated his plight. Unlike their fitness journey, the father-in-law and son-in-law share a similar life journey.
