Arnold Schwarzenegger is the fitness idol of millions across the globe, even at 76. The Austrian Oak’s posts are often full of positive affirmations that encourage people to make changes in their lives. However, the bodybuilding legend also resorts to bluntly stating facts that many people fail to acknowledge despite being aware. His latest post made one fan realize exactly what he was ignoring.

“Today, I want to talk about planning. In more than 50 years of my fitness crusade, I cannot count how many times I’ve heard people say they are planning on starting to train or planning on starting a diet,“ said Arnie. Cutting to the chase Schwarzenegger shed light on every excuse a person makes when they knowingly procrastinate.

“It is always a plan to start on Monday, or the first of the month, or next year. It is never a plan to start now,“ said Schwarzenegger. The Austrian Oak’s harsh words hit a fan hard. “Oooff! I didn’t need to be personally attacked by Arnold today, but here we are…“ the fan wrote. However, he took the ‘tough love‘ well. “JK (just kidding),“ the fan added at the end.

However, Arnold Schwarzenegger may have hit the bullseye because the man’s comment got many reactions, indicating how many people could relate to him. While the seven-time Mr. Olympia is about spreading positivity, this time, he aims to motivate through the harsh truth. He said those who are “walls planning have good intentions,“ but should be “honest,“ about it.

“Planning means you’re not taking action. You’re choosing to avoid getting started,“ wrote Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end of his message. Maybe the five-time Mr. Universe didn’t sugarcoat the truth because he already knows there are enough distractions hampering people’s goals.

Arnold Schwarzenegger warns about the biggest distraction

While tech like smartphones made communication easier, they also became a source of distraction. Arnold Schwarzenegger believes that smartphones and how social media has developed around them have been designed to distract people. Although many people start out with good intentions, the smartphone hinders them.
