At the age of 76, Arnold Schwarzenegger reflects on the progression of aging, sharing memories of when his body exuded a sense of strength and vitality. However, presently, he acknowledges that he no longer experiences that same level of vigor.
During his appearance on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show," Schwarzenegger discussed how he maintains a lighthearted outlook on getting older.
"I often find myself smiling when I look in the mirror each day and think, Yep, you're not looking your best," he shared with Stern.
"He continued to examine the physique, pointing out the pectoral muscles that were once taut, lively, and full of strength, now merely drooping. Expressing his bewilderment, he questioned, 'What on earth is happening here?' The renowned "Terminator" actor further admitted that he is well aware of the physical state he possessed in his youth."
"When you have been celebrated for years as the epitome of physical perfection, witnessing the definition of your abs and the appearance of veins cascading down them, and witnessing veins adorning your chest, etched with sharpness, and then fast forward 50 years, standing there and realizing that those characteristics no longer exist," he expressed.
Schwarzenegger was endorsing his latest book, "Be Useful," in which he enlightens individuals about the strategies he employed to achieve success in life.
"Lets go and teach kids to be tough, to go out and do sports, to go and study, to struggle, and to go through these kind of painful moments sometimes," he told Stern.
