Embarking on a fitness journey can be an exciting yet challenging endeavor. In today’s digital age, technology has given rise to an invaluable tool for individuals seeking to enhance their health and well-being: wearable fitness trackers. These compact devices have revolutionized the way people approach fitness by providing real-time data, motivation, and insights to help us achieve our goals. However, it is not smart to depend on technology and innovation entirely when it comes to your fitness goals.

In Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s recent edition of his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, he revealed that these devices might not be as effective as we think them to be. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger on fitness trackers

Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his latest edition of the newsletter, wrote that the fitness trackers people rely on these days are not doing a very good job. Backing his claims with a study, Schwarzenegger revealed that “people who wore fitness trackers for 18 months lost less weight and moved less than those who didn’t wear them.” ‘Arnie’ also explained that people tend to walk an average of 1000 steps fewer per day despite using these wearable devices.

Continuing further, he suggested alternate measures to maintain one’s health like creating a goal for yourself. He also mentioned the importance of having a fitness/training partner as it makes things easier and emphasized the fact that not every day is gonna be better than the previous day.

Concluding this, ‘The Austrian Oak’ also suggested setting a realistic goal and working towards it. “Progressive resistance is about doing a little bit, showing up, and then getting better the next time. Over time, it all adds up!” said Schwarzenegger. He shares valuable insights and knowledge related to health and fitness with his fans regularly using his newsletter. In one of the previous editions of the newsletter, he laid emphasis on the importance of good sleep. 

Schwarzenegger talks about sleep

Arnold explained that sleep depends from person to person, so there is no fixed number of hours that are essential. “There isn’t a single “magic number” for sleep because it depends on your goals. If you want to prioritize brain health, a study of 500,000 people suggests 7 hours is what you need,” disclosed Schwarzenegger. 

“But when you drop below 6 hours per night, that’s when your brain and body give you the middle finger,” said Schwarzenegger. ‘The Austrian Oak’ also mentioned that getting less than 6 hours of sleep can make you unhealthy and obese. “A lack of sleep will also make you more irritable, susceptible to depression and anxiety, and can increase the likelihood of issues with your heart,” revealed Arnold.
