Arnold At Home Workout

Good morning,

Today I wanted to post about the workout I did yesterday.  I did Arnold Schwarzenegger's at home workout.  It is a full body muscle strength workout.  I am definitely feeling soar today but a good soar.  To complete this workout you actually need a few things but you can skip those exercises if you don't have them.  It requires a pull up bar and a place to do dips and rows. 

I am going to post my workout recording sheet for you to look at.  You can make your own if you like.  Try to do as many exercises as you can.

Who can complete this whole workout???

Here is a link to the full workout:

Arnold says:

"The system is simple. If an exercise says 50 reps, you are doing 50 reps however you can. You can do 10 sets of 5 reps, 5 sets of 10 reps, 2 sets of 25 reps. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you finish 50 reps with perfect form. Once you complete the reps of one exercise, move on to the next exercise.

A note on form: if you cheat at an exercise, you are only cheating yourself. Don’t let your ego do the movements for you. You might want to show off to me or your friends and do 50 push-ups in one set, but if you can’t do them with perfect form, I’ll be more impressed by 5 sets of 10 perfect push-ups.

I have given repetition guidelines for beginners who don’t train very often and for more advanced trainers. But if you have actually never worked out, spend your first few workouts just getting used to the movements. I don’t want you to force yourself through 25 rows or knee-bends and then be unable to do the workout again in two days because you are too sore. And adjust the exercises for yourself - if a push-up is too much, instead of putting your hands on the floor, put them on a counter to make the movement a little easier. If a dip between chairs is too much, use your feet on the floor to take some of the weight off of your upper body. Don’t feel bad about working your way up to the full workout - we all start somewhere.

You aren’t adding weight like you would be in the gym, but you can still track your progress. If you could do 5 perfect push-ups today, do 6 in your next workout. Track the number of sets it takes you each time to hit your total reps, and watch as the number of sets goes down over time."

Stay strong,

Mr. Chiodo
