Arnold Schwarzenegger spills secret behind workout ‘addiction’
Arnold Schwarzenegger recalled how his dad used to make him follow workout routine since childhood
Arnold Schwarzenegger spilled the secret behind his workout “addiction” during the red carpet event of the premiere of his Netflix film FUBAR on Monday.
In a conversation with ET, the Terminator actor shared, "you know, I don't consider myself disciplined, because something that I've done since I was a little kid was workout in the morning."
He further added, "I remember when my father said, 'you cannot have breakfast first, you have to earn it. You have to do 200 sit ups and push-ups.' So that's how I grew up."
"So now, this is [what I do]. I'm now addicted to working out every day," Schwarzenegger noted.
"If I do a film, or like when I was doing FUBAR, we were working out when we were night-shooting, we were working out at three in the morning sometimes, and at five in the morning, or at nine in the morning," the 75-year-old actor recalled.
He further continued, "so it really doesn't matter. I just have to get my one-hour workout in and then some bike riding to kind of like get some cardiovascular training."
The former governor of California also emphasized that working out is not only reserved for actors, "it just makes you feel good, no matter what you do."
"If you do a TV series, if you do a movie, if you write a book, if you go and do a speech. Whatever you do, you need to feel fit and full of energy," he added.
