While many people resorted to bashing or making sarcastic jokes on the original thread, the Austrian shared the post with his insights. As a former politician representing the Republican Party, Schwarzenegger is well-versed in politics and everything related to it.?“Fitness is not political. Right or left,”?wrote the former Governor of California against the caption that claimed,?“The far right?s obsession with fitness is going digital.”

Instead, the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner wrote what people, regardless of their political ideology, can learn from pursuing fitness.?“All of us can benefit from the lessons of progressive resistance training,”?wrote the 75-year-old.?“Creating a vision/goal, building a routine. doing the reps, learning to love failure, the list goes on…”?he added.
