Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s exclusive ‘The Pump’ app has Q&A sessions once in a while. In his most recent Q&A session, which was no. 31, he fielded several inquiries and included screenshots of his responses in his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club. Among those who wanted to ask Schwarzenegger questions, one fan told the former bodybuilder about their bad week, and the Austrian Oak had some positive advice for him.
When Schwarzenegger posted the screenshot, he concealed the fan’s surname and username. Under the influence of job and family stress, the individual known as ‘Mike’ was not motivated to workout. This would be Mike’s first 0% week, and it is something he didn’t want for his ‘village’ anniversary.
Since Mike considers this week a loss, Arnold Schwarzenegger has something to say. In addition to his recommendations, the Austrian Oak prioritizes the stability of his fans, and he writes along the same lines:
“Mike, I need you to take a breath. You’re beating yourself up, and I can’t let you do that. Think about how much energy you’re using against yourself, of course you don’t have energy to workout.”
Moving on to the solution, Schwarzenegger suggests that Mike take stock of his week thus far. Whether it was going for a stroll, eating a vegetable, or drinking a protein shake, he details everything his fan did in the week as a win.
Schwarzenegger has given Mike a monumental mission to get himself back up after he has already declared this week a failure, as he suggests:
“I want you to take all this energy and use it to get to a 5% or 10% week. Or even 1%, anything beats zero. I don’t care how. You can go for a walk. You can have one healthy meal. You can find time for one of your workouts. Anything!”
A week of disappointment is irrelevant, according to Schwarzenegger. Just one week isn’t enough to determine everything. However, according to the Austrian Oak, the most important thing is to keep going even when things get tough.
A person may have a string of terrible weeks due to making a lot of errors, but he says that’s typical until they just quit. Schwarzenegger ends his answer with an uplifting message, penning:
“Don’t give up. Get up. Do something. Do anything. And then come back here and tell me about it so we can celebrate together. I believe in you.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s suggestion to avoid multitasking
An excellent habit is to be productive and active in whatever an individual does. On the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks that multitasking is a bad idea and that people should, instead, concentrate on one activity at a time. Attempting to juggle too many tasks at once is terrible for one’s mental and physical health, so multitasking should not be worn as a badge of honor.
It harms one’s mood, anxiety, and blood pressure, according to the findings given by the Austrian Oak. Anyone who chooses to multitask is less focused than the average person since their attention is constantly wandering between several activities.
Schwarzenegger proposes that his ‘village’ exercise with laser-like concentration for ten to twenty minutes to strengthen their focus muscles. To reduce multitasking, he suggests concentrating on one difficult activity for 30 minutes, then taking some rest, and then returning to one’s favorite task. In the end, these steps will improve one’s lifestyle, which is good for their overall health.
