Arnold Says He Will Never Stop Working Out. Ever.

Bodybuilding legend and action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has been pumping iron in the gym for going on six decades now—and he has no intention of stopping any time soon. He opened up a little about his plans to stay active in later life during a conversation he had earlier this year with influencer-turned-fighter Logan Paul, which he has just shared again on his Instagram.

When asked by Paul why he still goes to the gym at the age of 74, Schwarzenegger offered the following explanation:

"For the same reason why I am having breakfast today," he said. "I had breakfast yesterday, I had breakfast 10 years ago, why am I still having breakfast? Why am I still sleeping? I slept 20 years ago, I slept 10 years ago, so I'm still sleeping every night... It's the same with training. Training is a part of my life. It's that simple."

"Nothing will ever change; until I die, I will be working out, and I will be having a great time in the gym, and I will be getting the pump, and I want to feel good," he continued. "It's tough enough as it is when you get older, but you have to hold on as much as you can."

The seven-time Mr. Olympia champion also touched on this subject in his newsletter last year, writing about how a morning workout remains an integral part of his routine.

"I'm addicted to training, and I have to start my day in the gym," he said. "So today, even though my body won’t react the way it did 50 years ago, I can maintain as much as I can and it brings me great joy... I’ve chosen to adapt to my age, make my workouts a little bit different and focused on staying lean, and avoiding injury."
