The bodybuilding legend and actor, who started lifting weights as an adolescent in his native Austria, is “hooked on understanding day-after-day,” he stated.

“If I do a movie, or like after I was doing ‘FUBAR,’ we have been understanding after we have been night-shooting, we have been understanding at three within the morning generally, and at 5 within the morning, or at 9 within the morning,” Schwarzenegger stated. “So it actually would not matter. I simply must get my one-hour exercise in after which some bike driving to sort of like get some cardiovascular coaching.”

In July 2022, Schwarzenegger informed Insider that he trains for as much as 1.5 hours each day: biking for 45 to 60 minutes, and lifting weights for half-hour.
