“f**k it, i break the rules. because that’s what we do on Reddit…we break the rules, okay.”
Under the video, one Redditer asked:
“I know this is pandering but, I’ve been depressed for months and I haven’t hit the gym during that time. Mr Schwarzenegger can you please tell me to get off my lazy ass and hit the gym? I sweat to everything i hold dear that I will snap out of it and go,”
Ali wrote.
The former California governor showed an incredible about of empathy and write a wise response:
“I’m not going to be that hard on you. Please don’t be that hard on yourself. we all go through challenges, we all go through failure. Sometimes life is a workout. But the key thing is you get up. Just move a little. Roll out of bed and do some pushups or go for a walk. Just do something. One step at a time, I hope you feel better and get back to the gym.
But don’t beat yourself up, because that’s just useless talk. It doesn’t get you closer to the gym. And don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Good luck.”
Reddit users highly appreciated such an advice and the way the Hollywood star helped inspire the struggling fans n in the uneasy life situation. They praised Schwarzenegger for the insightful response: “This whole thread has completely changed my day.”

A fan added:
The fact that you checked back in on this person makes you an amazing mentor to those who aspire to change the world the way you have. Thank you, Mr Schwarzenegger.
