He\u2019s a seven-time Mr. Olympia, the 38th governor of California, and the Terminator\u00a0 \u2014 he\u2019s the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. Passionate about his devotion to health, the 73-year-old superstar recently spoke to <\/span>Men\u2019s Health<\/a><\/strong> regarding the daily routine that keeps him energized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to a newsletter from a fan who\u2019s starting their fitness journey at 52 years old, Schwarzenegger offered tips on how he finds the energy to start his day: \u201c<\/span>I find my energy by doing things I love and that brings me closer to my vision. I can be reading a script and I will fall asleep. But then I play a game of chess, which I love, and I\u2019m wide awake and can finish the script.\u00a0 This morning, I woke up at 4 a.m. to have a Zoom with the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. That\u2019s even early for me, but I was wide awake because I have a vision of making my environmental summit in Austria a huge success. So find your vision and you\u2019ll find your energy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as starting the day, Schwarzenegger said, <\/span>\u201cI don\u2019t think. I just do.\u201d After getting out of bed each morning, he drinks his coffee and reads the newspaper before biking to Gold\u2019s Gym, where he works out. Following his gym sesh, he bikes to grab breakfast. Left with a clear mind, the actor focuses on his work for the rest of the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger re-emphasized the importance of following a structured routine in his newsletter, as establishing consistent habits eventually turns into second nature. <\/span>\u201cWhat has kept me consistent is that I never have to think about this,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a routine, so it is ingrained in me. There is no thinking, no 'should I skip the gym today?' I get out of bed at 5 a.m. and everything starts. The next three hours are automatic.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though he said motivation helps, <\/span>Schwarzenegger explained that<\/span> a routine builds consistency. Of course, he understands how implementing routines aren\u2019t easy and suggests starting small. \u201cMaybe the first thing you do when you get out of bed is some pushups and squats,\u201d he said. \u201cAdd something to your routine every week, and then eventually, you\u2019ll have an hour or two hours every morning that are purely automatic and focused on improving yourself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
