Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram yesterday to share an old home bodyweight workout of his, which he also shared on Reddit. The workout consists of push ups, sit ups, bent over twists, bent leg raises, squats (aka knee bends), calf raises, and chin ups.
Each bodyweight exercise is performed for a different number of reps depending on the individuals strength level: beginner or advanced.
A full break down of each exercise and its different rep ranges is below, along with highlights from Schwarzenegger’s Reddit post.

You can perform the total rep counts in as many sets as you’d like.
For example, if you decide to perform 60 reps, you can do that in 10 sets of 6 reps, 6 sets of 10 reps, 4 sets of 15 reps, etc.
