Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of the Terminator and Governor of Canada, has been encouraged to show his spectacular physical change on social networks. It's not that he was in very bad shape before, and even less having a great bodybuilder in the family, but he did show signs of a certain neglect.
The eldest son of fitness icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver uploaded photos to Instagram showing his physical transformation after undergoing an intensive program. The key? Waking up at 5 am every day to stay active.
Schwarzenegger spent 50 days training at 5am
Under the title of «Getting in the best shape of my life"The 27-year-old actor showed the before and after of his physical evolution. Although only the change in his body is visible, Patrick assures that he has also noticed mental changes. No wonder if at five in the morning he had to be hitting irons instead of curled up in his bed.
The actor shared a couple of photos in which he was shirtless, the latest showing off a cut upper body with bulging biceps and a ripped ab pack. Schwarzenegger said in the most recent photo that he weighed 185 pounds (about 83 kilos) with a eight percent body fat, and in the previous one, taken six months ago, he weighed 163 pounds (73 kilograms) with 13 percent body fat.
Arnorld's son commented that only 413 people finished the challenge. It lasted 50 days and began at dawn (5 am). In this challenge he got responses from people who said they found a sense of purpose, benefited from a energy boost, were more productive at work and found time for additional activities, losing up to 15 kilos with the challenge.
Patrick Schwarzenegger named all the positive aspects that can be obtained by training first thing in the morning (still being at dawn):
- Start the day with a form of "success"
- Build momentum for the rest of the day
- You eat better during the day
- You show your mind and body that you are capable of doing something you don't want to
- Little morning rituals and habits are formed that lead to big results over time.
He has not yet revealed the exercises that made up this training, but on his Instagram we have been able to see small samples. He focuses on routines with sets of around 60-90 seconds, in which he opts for full-body aerobic machines. He also likes to perform stabilization exercises for the shoulder and back muscles. Especially to control a good lumbar posture.
Create small goals to motivate yourself
The actor said he's a fan of creating goals and challenges because it gives your brain a literal GPS to a destination you're seeking. The biggest mistake we make is thinking that the changes will come overnight, but it takes longer than we think. Everything takes time. That's why he made the challenge 50 days so people wouldn't finish after the first week and be compromised to continue. Patrick finishes his publication on Instagram saying "be the best for you".
But all these achievements needed to be reviewed by his father, who commented on the post: “cool before Get Started. Good advance. I can't wait to see the after photo!" To which Patrick replied: “I think this is the after picture...” with a laughing emoji to continue the joke.
