One of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ongoing efforts, film career and political ambitions aside, has been to bring the love of fitness and exercise to as many people as possible.
In the latest edition of his newsletter, the actor shared how he is still continuing these efforts, and talked about how making exercise accessible to everyone means understanding that people’s lifestyles and needs are different.
“I’m all for fitness, power, strength and energy for everyone,” he said.

“But who am I to say they have to do it my way? Who am I to say they have to squat and lift weights like I do, when some people physically can’t squat? Now, one of the things that inspires me the most is to see athletes who have ‘disabilities’ prove that they are more capable than anyone else. Like this homey who uses one arm to lift a rock. Or my friends with one leg, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy on the main stage of the event in front of our largest audience, because I wanted them to show all those gym owners and fitness company CEOs in attendance that fitness really is for everyone.”
