Cardiovascular health is crucial for overall well-being and longevity. Heart-related health problems are a leading cause of mortality globally. Implementing a balanced diet and regular exercise can help you avoid this. Suggesting the same, Schwarzenegger broke down his workout plan into two parts. The first part consists of 10 minutes of walking inside the house or on a treadmill, or outside.

Schwarzenegger stated that the first superset will consist of pushups and isometric pushups, and the second superset will consist of squats and isometric squats. The third superset will be crunches and planks, followed by the fourth superset, which is alternating lunge and isometric lunge. Concluding the workout, the last superset will be a pull-up or inverted bodyweight row along with an isometric pull-up or inverted bodyweight row. Schwarzenegger emphasized that if your mental game is strong, anything is possible. “Get your mind right, set your vision, and go make it great!”
What separates Pump Club from other fitness communities?
While the rest of the fitness entities often tell their clients and viewers about short-term transformations, Schwarzenegger advocates for a long-term approach toward fitness and bodybuilding. His community consists of people who are genuinely in love with fitness and embrace consistency and longevity.

Revealing the same in an earlier Instagram caption, Schwarzenegger wrote, “Let’s be honest. There are a lot of shysters in health and fitness who have something to sell you. I started #ArnoldsPumpClub to cut through the bulls**t.” Continuing further, ‘The Australian Oak’ insisted, “Fads and trends come and go. Not me. I’ve been pumping people up for more than 50 years. Join our village at the link in my bio.”
