👂 Get workout motivation from the Terminator himself. Arnold’s Pump Club is a collection of bite-sized wellness tips and positivity to keep you pumped both physically and mentally, curated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Each episode is typically between 8-12 minutes long, perfect for psyching yourself out pre-workout, or just getting yourself in the right mindset to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

In the latest episode, Schwarzenegger discusses the motivation trapfalls that surround New Years, from losing steam to reliance on fitness apps, and how to sidestep them. While The Arnold does mention The Pump, his own fitness app, he emphasizes that it’s your own initiative to change that will bring about transformation, not a subscription. He also likens getting and staying fit to being an entrepreneur — focus, drive, stamina, and “the willingness to push past discomfort to achieve your goals” are all traits belonging to people who wish to be successful in either aspect.

Walk away with actionable steps. All of the information Schwarzenegger shares is supported by research, and lays a path for you to follow to achieve your goals. Best of all, it’s all realistic. No “hit the gym five times a week,” or “cut out all sugars and fats.” Instead, he advises that “If you took five thousand steps with your trainer today, take five thousand and one tomorrow.”

You’re not really listening to The Austrian Oak. Does it sound a little too uncanny valley? That’s because Arnie’s voice is all AI. While the content itself is actually written by Schwarzenegger, taken from his daily newsletter, the voice you hear is trained on his voice and mannerisms — and his famous accent. That may take a little of the personability out of the experience, but the information is just as sound. There’s no reason to feel deceived — Mr. Olympia and his team are upfront about using “the machine” on the podcast. Though it’s a little too close to the Terminator for comfort in our opinion.

WHERE TO FIND IT- Arnold’s Pump Club is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, or on the official website.
