The gym has its perks, sure, but there’s something about the convenience and comfort of working out in your living space that’s hard to beat. 🏠💪
Now, for the gym-lovers who’ve been feeling a tad out of place in their living rooms, we get it. Transitioning from well-equipped gym floors to your cozy room can feel…well, different. But guess what? We’ve got a throwback treat for you.

Let’s dive deeper, shall we? Arnold suggests hitting this workout routine approximately three times a week. So, if you’re keeping track, that’s once every two days, giving your body just the right amount of time to recover and prepare for the next session.
Ah, and about those tricky ‘Rows between Chairs’ and ‘Chin-ups’ — we get it, not everyone has a home gym set up with a pull-up bar. The good news? You don’t have to. Flexibility is the key when it comes to home workouts. So, if an exercise feels out of reach due to equipment constraints, don’t sweat it! Simply double up on another exercise from the list. After all, the goal is to keep that heart rate up and muscles engaged, right?
One can’t help but realize that even outside the confines of the COVID era, home workouts present their own set of appealing advantages. Think about it: no monthly gym fees, zero commute time, and the sheer convenience of breaking a sweat without ever stepping out of your home. It’s a win-win!
For all of you still mulling over whether to jump on the home training bandwagon, here’s a thought: Why not use the guidance of one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time as your starting point? Arnold’s tried-and-true workout is not just simple; it’s downright effective. So, roll out that mat, clear some space, and embark on a fitness journey that’s both rewarding and cost-effective. Happy training! 💪🏡🌟
