9 Photos of Schwarzenegger Exercising at Home 50 Years Ago - There's No Need to Go to the Gym
Currently, approximately 32% of the world's population is staying home to maximize the reduction in viral transmission. This is a good news for stopping the virus' spread, but not a good news for those whose daily activities are severely restricted.
Recently, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a set of old photos from his youth, exercising at home. This set of photos is a 9-exercise program that can cover all muscle groups, can be done once a day or every other day depending on the situation, and provides guidance for beginners and more advanced people. Let's take a look below (beginner is in front, advanced is behind).
Push-ups: 25 reps / 50 reps
Chair tilts: 20 reps / 50 reps
Arnold also pointed out that if you have never really exercised before, it is recommended to spend some time to adapt to the movements and adjust the workout accordingly: if 25 knee bends seem too many, lower it.
Chair rows: 30 reps / 50 reps
If you find it too difficult at the beginning, don't worry about adjusting these exercises: 'If push-ups are too difficult, don't put your hands on the floor, but put them on the counter to make the exercise easier.'
Leg raises: 30 reps / 100 reps
Bent-leg raises: 25 reps / 50 reps
Bent-over rows: 25 reps / 50 reps
Squats (with knees): 25 reps / 50-70 reps
Calf raises: 25 reps / 50 reps
Pull-ups: 10 reps / 30 reps
Arnold said: Almost everything that happens in the world today is beyond our control, we just need to focus on what we can control. For example: staying at home, exercising, etc. This is not only for ourselves, but also for the people we love.
