Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.

Yesterday I discussed why it's time for the fitness industry

to be honest with people.

But if we truly want a healthier, fitter world, it starts with you.

There is no gimmick. There is no shortcut.

But when I say this, I can hear you thinking, Arnold,

that's easy for you to say.

Fitness has always been your life,

and you've always been in top shape, but it's not easy for me to say I've had to work my way back from the bottom and I learned a lot along the way.

After I underwent open heart surgery I found myself in a new position. I

needed to use a walker. I had to do breathing exercises five times a day to retrain my lungs. I was

frustrated and angry and in my worst moments I couldn't see the way back to my

old self.

Three months later, I returned to a film set to star in a new Terminator movie.

And you probably know that there is no such thing as a weak terminator.

I'd love to tell you is because of a certain product

or workout or diet, but it wasn't,

I just kept walking, I kept breathing,

I kept trying. I was lucky I had a huge team around me supporting me the whole way

Eventually I got into the gym and went through the motions without weights. At first I upgraded from walks

around my backyard to bike rides. I didn't worry about six packs or bench pressing 500 pounds.

My only goal was improving a little bit every single day
