Schwarzenegger was nearly unstoppable in his prime, eventually collecting a total of seven Mr. Olympia trophies. His last victory was not without a fight, as he returned to Mr. Olympia 1980 after a five-year hiatus. He narrowly took first place at that contest, although some thought Mike Mentzer, who finished fifth, deserved it. Following this, a frustrated Mentzer decided to retire from the sport.

At 75, Arnold embarked on a mission to reverse the aging process. In recent excerpts from his Arnold's Pump Club newsletter, Schwarzenegger revealed a free and easy skin care solution.

Despite its simplicity, Arnold considers sweating to be one of the best methods for improving skin health. Don't believe me? Then read what Arnold wrote:

"A little sweat may be the skin care solution you didn't know about. Recent research suggests that the best way to have more youthful skin may be consistent exercise. In the study, participants performed either aerobic exercise or weight training for 16 weeks. Researchers found that both forms of exercise led to improvements in skin, such as better skin elasticity, skin texture and skin tone.

Exercise is probably so effective because it does so much more than just burn calories and build muscle. Both cardio and strength training aid the inflammatory response that defends the skin from the natural aging of cells in the skin. And while dietary supplements are talked about with great enthusiasm, exercise can also help boost natural production of collagen, a key protein that promotes healthier skin.

And to be clear, you don't have to exercise like Mr. Olympia to see the benefits. Both groups trained twice a week. The people who did cardio exercised at moderate intensity (about 65 to 75 percent of their maximum heart rate) for 30 minutes and performed a five-minute warm-up and cool-down. And the weight-training group performed 6 full-body exercises consisting of 3 sets of 10 repetitions."
