And you have pectoral muscles. And you have a huge chest and lats and the back. Now you go and start chiseling away because now it’s about the perfection.”<\/p>\n JASON KELCE EXPRESSES RETIREMENT REGRET AFTER EAGLES GET SAQUON BARKLEY: \u2018I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS SO BAD\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The former California governor also spoke on the nutritional aspect of fitness and how the same regimen isn\u2019t going to work for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Arnold Schwarzenegger was a guest on the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast April 3, 2024.\u00a0<\/span> (Jason Merritt)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “Also knowing the nutritional part because you got to realize that the body needs protein. It needs carbohydrates. It needs fats. But what is the balance?,” Schwarzenegger said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the podcast, Jason couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity to ask the fitness legend for advice about his own weight loss goals after Kelce retired from the NFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I’m in the process right now, I’m retired. I\u2019ve played my whole career at 295. I’m trying to get down to 250, 260,” Jason explained to Schwarzenegger. “My goal is two pounds every week, lose it. I want to lose it, but maintain my muscle mass. I’m trying to monitor my protein, my carbs, my fats and make sure that I’m hitting at least one pound per body weight.”\u00a0<\/p>\n WHO IS KYLIE KELCE, JASON KELCE’S WIFE?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “The most important thing is that you slowly decrease the body fat and increase the body muscles. You just switch. It doesn’t just have to do with the weight,” Schwarzenegger explained to Jason.<\/p>\n “You want to slowly decrease the fat and increase the muscle mass. That is the key thing,” the “Predator” actor advised. “So, with the exercising, and with the machines and the weights and all of that stuff, you should be able to do that very easily. I know that you have lifted some serious weights.<\/p>\n Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce are co-hosts of the “New Heights” podcast.\u00a0<\/span> (Ryan Kang\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “You don\u2019t have to lift heavy. That\u2019s the key thing. Because, remember, at a certain age, you start getting into this wear and tear of the joints,” Schwarzenegger noted.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s unnecessary because you\u2019re not competing. So, it’s unnecessary to go and\u00a0try to outdo the lifting and all that stuff. I\u2019d rather see you doing 12-15 reps an exercise and doing it as strict as possible and to do many, many reps and many sets and to do it the right way and to gain the muscle size rather than just torture yourself and have injuries and all that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n About a month ago, Jason announced his retirement from the NFL with an emotional farewell speech.
