A 44-year-old dad, Derik Fay, CEO of a venture capital firm, 3F Management, has merely a seven percent body fat. This is not the result of some short-term practices, but due to his own choices. What choice? The choice of being patient, persevered, and determined towards his fitness. Moreover, during an interview with Birmingham Live, Fay revealed the one anti-aging tip by Arnold Schwarzenegger he followed, which has helped him maintain his physique and defy his age.

When someone thrives on fitness, no one thing helps in attaining the goal. There must be a combination of several things that helped in reaching the fitness goal. Similarly, with Fay, Schwarzenegger’s tip was extremely helpful, but in addition, he puts immense hard work behind his fitness in day-to-day life. Before moving into his daily practice, let’s look at Arnold’s advice that he has been following.

Is it just that Arnold Schwarzenegger tip? Or is there something more?

 In the interview with Birmingham Live, Fay said, “he abstains from cake.” It is not because he doesn’t like sweets, but because he once heard Arnold “talking about never eating a dessert.” He was just a kid when he heard that, but Fay said, “that locked into my head.” However, he admits, “Every once in a while I go and spoil myself, but I don’t ever eat desserts.” While speaking about cakes, he said, “That’s not to say I don’t have a sweet tooth. I love cheesecake but I just don’t give it to myself. Even now, when I sit with my daughters and they have cheesecake, I say no and stay away.”

Other than that, Derik trains five to six days every week, and weight training is something that he does first thing in the day. Henceforth, Derik has successfully maintained his physique all these years with sheer hard work and sacrificing the cakes he loves. Although, he admits it is not necessary to entirely give up cakes or sweets to stay fit.
