Does Arnold’s recent longevity tip have to do with fitness?
Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger frequently gives tips when it comes to fitness. In his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, Schwarzenegger speaks to fans and advises them to better their lifestyle in many ways. In a recent edition, Schwarzenegger, the bodybuilding great shared a study on how to add years to your life outside of the gym and make longevity a key aspect of your new years goal.
Schwarzenegger came to America and quickly gained attention due to his insane physique. This led to great success on the bodybuilding stage, including seven Olympia titles. In retirement, he has found success elsewhere but continues to focus on his health in and out of the gym.
“Some people brag about spending millions of dollars on drugs and technology trying to extend their life — despite little evidence to prove it works. Us? We prefer something simpler, cheaper, and more effective.”
This edition of the newsletter came ahead of the New Year, which is the perfect time for many to make changes.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Tip For Longevity
Arnold Schwarzenegger is no stranger to sharing health and fitness studies but this time, he dove into human relationships. Schwarzenegger shared a study that showed humans with “strong relationships” live seven years longer.
“Call or text a friend now (or once you’re done reading this email). Set a time to grab a coffee or a meal. It’ll help you live longer, and those relationships will make the days you spend more enjoyable.”

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger still prides himself in the fitness world, he had to end this edition of the newsletter with a workout.
