From Arnold Schwarzenegger double split routine to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, we asked the fittest celebs in the game to share their tips on what made a difference in their fitness regimen. Here are their top answers.
“[One] trick is to wear a heart-rate monitor when I’m lifting…I never let the rate dip below 140. It’s full-on.”
“[Embrace the squat]. It’s the one lift that no one can do without. Period. Absolutely period.”
“The first thing I do on location or on a vacation is to get a bike. I just do as much as I can to push myself.”
“After I stopped competing, I trained faster—six sets without stopping and higher repetitions.”
“Now…I realize it’s all about athletics, health, and feeling good; the looks just come along with it.”
“The key to my training is efficiency—I do a lot of circuit training and supersets. One to two body parts a day.”
“There are endless exercises for arms, but the basics are best—chinups and pushups.”
“You’re either getting better or getting worse, but never stand still. Ever. ”
