[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

Unfortunately, medical evidence is demonstrating that each pound you put on acts like its own intelligent organism that wants to survive as badly as you do. Gut biome, metabolism, and age are all contributing factors. When I was in my 20's, I morphed from a fat hog to a muscular god. A few decades later, each pound I put on takes 10x the exercise to remove it than it took in my 20's. They are also amassing a ton of evidence that gastric bypass surgery cures diabetes. Given that we live for eternity anyway, and consciousness is all that exists (Donald Hoffman, Ruper Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Upanishads..., ..., ...) I'll simply remove my head with a shotgun when I've had enough of this round and I'm ready to start the next round.

[@itsawonderfullife4802]

The point Arnold is making is a very delicate and fine point. Stop making everything you do all day about exercising and obsession with burning a few calories here and there and instead commit to a dedicated 20-30 minutes every day where you do all the exercise you can do with all the focus you can muster and then go about the rest of the day normally without thinking and obsessing about calorie burning and all that. If you cannot take out 20 minutes of each day to work out hard enough, you are living the wrong way!

[@RossMalagarie]

she heard that and was saying she was too lazy to take time out of her day to exercise. She wanted Arnold to explain how she can do the things she does during a regular day and get the results of "exercising" like at a gym. Its called go to the gym for 1hr, 3-4 times a week. But she was too lazy to want to do that like most people.

I met Arnold briefly in 1977, he is a very unusual person (in a good way). He lets nothing stand in the way and this is the very reason he is/was so successful, which also means he is a ruthless competitor. *Removed the funeral part* This video gives some insight into what Joe Weider saw in him from the very beginning, Joe needed more than a bodybuilder and Arnold filled the bill. When this video was made Arnold was already a Millionaire and to think he did not even have the money for a plane ticket to come here in the beginning, Joe Weider paid all his expenses in the beginning. Arnold like all of us has made mistakes but I have always admired him, he is so much more than Conan. *Peace*

[@Bass.Player]

Bass Player I would recommend reading Arnold's book Total Recall. He admits to smoking a lot of weed during the beginning of his bodybuilding career. He also explains that when his father died he got the news late after his competition. He also talks about his relationship with Weider and how he began all his businesses. It's honestly a great and inspirational read if you love Arnold

Also, Nike changed that in huge ways. Very few people (men or women) worked out in the late 70s even into the early-mid 80s. Nike (and Reebok) ads from back then were all about extolling the benefits of starting a fitness regimen. The ads weren't even about the shoes. Only because they knew that if they could convince people to start integrating a workout program in their lives, they would need a new pair of shoes... honestly, it's kind of fascinating to look back at the Nike ads from back then if you can find them.

Do. Something.

And it's also funny to see that Arnold and Carson are having an intelligent discussion, while the other two just make noise. The best part was when Arnold said he's not into the whole macho image, and you could see it in the way he said it that he's above that. He's not a macho, because that's attention-hungry manbabies. He's a badass, he doesn't want to impress anyone, he's just doing what he wants to, and excels at it.

+Khorothis you've obviously never seen the documentary Pumping Iron.

He even said he didn't attend his father's funeral in the film because he was preparing for a competition, when it fact it was one of his colleagues who had done so - he and the director decided to go with it for "the effect." That film was not about Arnold. It was about a smoke and mirrors image of a hardcore body builder.

[@anaussie213]

Rex Piper Arnold was acting like that in pumping iron. Notice every background character is in awe of Arnold/suck up to him like lackeys. In real life he was a genius charismatic legend, super nice to everyone and friendly/generous. They all loved him (already a millionaire from his business acumen and GOAT bodybuilder at the time of filming).

Dude I had no idea Arnold was so sharp, no wonder he's been so successful. Most of the body builders are dumb AF and can barely put two lines together, but this guy is sharp. He's holding his own in the conversation and he's not being pushed around, stays on his points, I'm impressed!

[@thrillofthechase3313]

Arnold is so classic in this post. Very hansom, well mannered, charismatic and his 140+ IQ shows. He deserved to make it in Hollywood and in the world in general.

[@slick_Ric]

i love what Arnold says in the 5th minute about how she should want to exercise even when it has nothing to do with some guy doing it with her. i feel like he was implying a lot more there about how fitness is about your OWN good and reminds me of how unmotivated to workout many people get after they hook up with someone or get married. growing up it was usually girls who would, as my friend used to say, "get fat on love" because they had the mentality of "well i nabbed myself a man, i can finally stop caring how i look!" and get fat and end up single again or some other stupid situation, because that type of attitude affects every area of a person's life. i need to take heed of this myself every so often/every day. never get complacent, is the thing. as a wise man once said, "stay hungry"...

Ah, that classic Austrian sense of humour.

[@beetjeafvallen6584]

haha this woman. She wants the benefits of exercise but not do exercise, haha. Still a common thought she has: "i worked, im home, im tired, and not gonne leave the sofa." If only she knew that the tiredness she think she's experiencing, was more mentally then physically. And that through exercise she could both lift up the mental and physical energy level. And at the time of doing exercise she wouldn't even notice being tired from work anymore.

[@ivansevo427]

amen

[@beetjeafvallen6584]

rainxxxx quiet?? Who? Me or... the woman in de video?

[@2Tall_Powerlifting]

That's right. Unfortunately, most people today are inherently mentally weak, and with it, physically frail.

[@beingofstrange]

Well said

[@colinmyers6680]

yuuuuup. Before I started exercising I always thought I would be just too tired from work and life to want to do it. Now a mile on the treadmill gets me prepped to lift and I come out of the gym alert and full of energy, not to mention riding that mental high. I think people think too little of themselves. We're all capable of basic fitness we just don't believe it. Once you start putting in the work and seeing results though it becomes addicting.

[@padraigobroin370]

[@matthewaguirre3293]

i used to do a bodybuilding routine, i gained muscle and swelled to about 215 lbs but had to compensate for stiffness with stretching and found that i walked funny and people gave me too much attention. 20 minutes of physical excersize a day would bring about wellness and joy. i think arnold was telling the masses that excersize could help enrich your lives give you a body to pursue all your goals. he was right

[@artygunnar]

Ugh....... I think women that work out and lift weights are super hot

[@chuckleezodiac24]

in 1979 they were considered to be freaks. you can thank Ahnuld for changing attitudes about fitness and lifting.

[@hiyapal7719]

They interrupted Arnold, and didn't let him finish answering her last question. Smh.

[@hiyapal7719]

HELP ME GET TO 1000 SUBSCRIBERS WITHOUT ANY VIDEOS, No actually, I was meaning *her* question. The last question that she asked him. Arnold began to answer her question, and then they interrupted him, with jokes, and he never finished his answer. ;-) Thank you, though.♡

[@doesitreallymatter23]

Whoever that woman is, she's a bit empty-headed. Nowadays, most guys love women that lift weights.

[@Hobbitstomper]

I don't know a single guy who is attracted to extreme bodybuilding women that have 6 packs. Most guys I know prefer simply fit women that do weights, but not put on crazy muscles.

[@watchchuck]

Hobbit Stomper Well man, you must be livin under a rock, cause most men find fit women attractive. Lifting weights doesn't mean you are going to get huge or bulky, specially for women because of hormones like testosterone. And having a six pack has nothing to do with having "crazy muscles", it just involves having low body fat. You don't need to be an "extreme bodybuilding woman".

[@Hobbitstomper]

Pablo Rocca Exactly, fit is not the same as "bulked up woman". Are you telling me you like a woman that looks like a man?

[@2Tall_Powerlifting]

A fit woman is far more attractive than a woman that looks like a man. That's just a man taking hormone replacements or needles in the ass...haha. All due respect, a woman who takes care of themselves and practices both good physical and mental discipline is a great quality to have, and is highly attractive.

[@RaxOnya]

don't say "most" you have no evidence to make such a statement, in fact me and a lot of the guys i know prefer women with no muscles, even a little chubby is ok.

[@MrByTheMile]

"oh my body is glued to the sofa" "well then we can work out on the sofa"

[@S7EVE_P]

As someone who keeps fit, the rewards are amazing. Of course effort is required and sometimes there is pain, but a strong trained body will make everything easier, even thinking becomes clearer and faster. It is worth it.

[@paullucci]

Exactly. It's all part of the same machine!

[@Alex_1729]

[@serendipitousbliss6548]

Lady: Is there a way to exercise without exercising ? Arnold: .......wtf ? Go to the gym

[@haggis655]

I can't follow that woman at all and couldn't even place who she was. It's ridiculous if a person can't isolate a half hour or so for exercise. And Arnie even gave her "integrated" advice that she didn't even realize: walking up and down the stairs. People gasped when he said he walked up and down ten flights or so, but I've walked up and down 18 flights and I'm not into weight lifting. So to answer that woman's "integrated exercise" question, yes, just use the stairs, stand up while watching television instead of sitting down, hand wash clothes instead of using a washing machine, run to the store instead of ambling to it, use the computer standing up, sneak in some crouches while listening to music standing up, etc. But by far and the most convenient is anaerobically racing up and down stairs. Especially for a celebrity who, on tour, spends most of the time in high-rise hotels, that's easy enough, but then celebrities go for the elevator button instead of the stairs. (I strongly caution those who take my advice seriously DO NOT engage in strenuous anaerobics unless you know your medical condition or have slowly worked up to it.)

[@anaussie213]

Haggis you are right, the city can be cramped and hard to find a place to workout seemingly but every tall building with 10 stories can provide a great work out.

[@SaiyanScholar]

02:28 "IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING?!" The misconceptions of exercising back then in the 70s were insane.

[@stevevastakis9981]

Thank you Arnold for helping me understand and realize the importance of exercising to stay healthy, body and soul.

[@peterviking5083]

Who would know that Arnold was speaking for womens rights here against a woman

[@BeautifulOnes876]

[@YourHomieNextDoor]

they should have let him talk his mind at 5:45 instead of interrupting him. I think he had some wise things to say there...

That's why he was just like ehhh just buy my book

[@brettgainsford3208]

that women was painful

[@Fernandez218]

this woman does not exist on t.v. nowadays. in this interview she's the type of woman that is trying to please a man. Arnold was trying to tell her -- but was interrupted many times -- he was trying to get the point across towards the end of 'self-respect': do it for yourself. Don't do exercises for some man. Or as a man don't do exercises to compete with someone. Do it to better yourself. Be the best version of yourself.

[@nelsonkiiru7252]

So true when it comes to working out/exercise u got to do it for urself no one else. At least u feel good afterwards cause of the feel good hormones produced after a workout not forgetting the health benefits!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Arnold gives a real insight to his mental make-up...when it is time to focus, focus, then let it go. Very wise advice over ruminating on something all day long. He's 35 here.

[@daanwiersma5830]

No he's 32

[@Joesfosterdogs]

+Daan Wiersma hmmm, did some fact checking and this appearance was indeed November 13, 1979. My dating was because AS said he had long hair because of filming Conan the Barbarian. That was release in May of 1982. They took three years to film this movie?

[@diogeneslantern18]

Hi, it's funny you mention the "ruminating on something all day long". I've been putting off a phone call to my ex-boss for an entire week, dreading speaking to him as I left on somewhat acrimonious terms, anyway, after finally putting it off I called him at 2 in the afternoon and he was so pleased to talk - he congratulated me on a recent achievement that he had heard about. Bizarre huh? Just gotta do the thing.

[@CalamityHillMusic]

All of these shady characters coming out of the woodwork in the UK and the US, Arnold is the only one can be a 100% certain is a genuinely nice guy.

[@GloogleGloigle]

I can't understand why there's so much hatred against the Elizabeth Ashley in the comments. Carson's guests were all talking and interacting. Being a guest on a talk show was more interactive in those days. For all her critics, she's a Tony award-winning Broadway actress, and was nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes for her television and film roles. Working as a dramatic stage actor _is_ physically and emotionally exhausting work, especially when doing multiple performances per day. When she made that Carson appearance she was already more successful than most of us will ever be, and she was the first guest on Carson that night. Additional cool points for her; she was married to Hannibal from the A-Team. For people who say she's fat now, she's 76 years old and not really that fat, and still acting. Arnold is not in the same shape as he was either, but it's normal.

[@bono894]

People on KZbin are assholes. That's why.

[@EdwardsNH]

Well, she was annoying.... But yes, that was the general attitude about exercise back then, and she was just being part of the conversation. The woman has done a lot of fantastic work in her life. If exercise never made it as a priority for her... so be it.

[@PRSouthern]

I thought it was a genuinely interesting conversation between two different people.. I appreciate the clip.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

ikr? she expressed a desire to improve her fitness but said she would never jog and was extremely busy. she asked a legitimate question about integrating isometric exercises into her routine activities of daily living. totally reasonable for the time. Ahnuld was correct that it'd be better to set aside 20-30 minutes a day to focus purely on exercise.

[@deborah_chrysoprase]

"You'll never find a man who says, 'come over and let's lift weights together!'" Oh man, a woman who'd want to lift weights with me is dream worman
