25 Lessons You Can Learn from Arnold Schwarzenegger

Playing is Exercise

This is a great life lesson. Arnold doesn’t want kids to be unhealthy, but he doesn’t think we can tell them to exercise. He advocates saying, “Let’s go have some fun,” and encouraging parents to take their kids to the park to play, to go for a walk, to go play basketball or to do anything active that’s also fun. He believes that this is the way to make kids and adults healthy, and he’s all about it. Coming from a man who looks as if he lives at the gym, it’s a good lesson.
