Schwarzenegger reckons with age: the knees can't hold up. He prefers the bicycle to the squat
Life lasts even for Arnold Schwarzenegger who has lived at least three (professional) lives. World body building champion, Hollywood star and California governor. At the age of 71, even the massive actor of Austrian descent has to deal with passing age. At the Men's Health newspaper, to which he gave an interview to promote protein-based products, he also revealed the difficulties of training, for someone who made training a philosophy of life, before economic success.
“The squat and all those heavy leg workouts, I can't do them anymore, my knees have been hit. I have to protect them because I still want to ski. Better to train your legs by riding a bicycle, I use it when I travel or when I have to go shopping, so you train and see the city from a different point of view ".
And if you have a hard time imagining his cult character, Terminator, riding a bike, Schwarzenegger frankly says: "There are incredible machines today, if I could have used them in addition to what I've done in the past." The massive workouts that the actor has subjected his body to over the decades have caused him not a few health problems. "A guy like me who has had shoulder surgery, hip surgery and another knee surgery with today's technology can always find an exercise to do without compromising health."
And if we learn from the mistakes of the past, in the age of wisdom, Schwarzy talking about his son Patrick, who has followed in his footsteps in the cinema says: Patrick trains every day, but he doesn't want to become as big as me, because he is chosen. for romantic, not action roles. Of course if he gets physically bigger in the future, then he could make action movies too. "
