The 71-year-old former California governor and actor has been documenting and uploading his workouts to TikTok — and the ex-professional bodybuilder has one of the most widely spread clips thus far. It features the Austria native (user name @arnoldschnitzel) tirelessly racing around to try to catch up with Whiskey the mini pony. Fittingly, the video is set to “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” which is the correct tune to blast when one is chasing a small pony while wearing a cowboy hat. “Whiskey the mini-pony has a morning fitness routine, too. #likearnold,” Schwarzenegger, who underwent open heart surgery last year, captioned the video. Recreating his particular workout isn’t easy if you don’t have a mini pony at your disposal right now. So we all might as well just watch and take notes on his technique and joie de vivre. “Arnold Schwarzenegger is living in my personal heaven and i must accept that,” Twitter user Luke Mones wrote. > [](https://twitter.com/LukeMones/status/1109509755683389440) > [](https://twitter.com/%5Freginamd/status/1108894597856534528) > [](https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/1108805356115812354) > [](https://twitter.com/martin%5Fjames0/status/1108838074061066258) Even Toby Keith himself approves. > [](https://twitter.com/tobykeith/status/1109589921956839425) > [](https://twitter.com/philbill1337/status/1109150513088684033) Finally some news you can use. **Correction, March 25:** _The original version of this story misstated Arnold_ _Schwarzenegger’s last name in the fourth paragraph_ _._ _It is_ _Schwarzenegger, not_ _Schwarzengger._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5558043/arnold-schwarzenegger-mini-pony-bike/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5558043/arnold-schwarzenegger-mini-pony-bike/"},"headline":"Arnold Schwarzenegger Chasing a Mini Pony by Bike Is Forever Your Monday Motivation","datePublished":"2019-03-25T16:06:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:58:18.984Z","description":"Arnold Schwarzenegger has been documenting his workouts on the TikTok app, and the one with him chasing the pony is everyone's favorite.","url":"https://time.com/5558043/arnold-schwarzenegger-mini-pony-bike/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3b799071c363152/69894747929fadeeb2bf2ee9/arnold-schwarzenegger-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3b799071c363152/69894747929fadeeb2bf2ee9/arnold-schwarzenegger-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - March 18, 2019","caption":"Arnold Schwarzenegger does fitness routine with pony","creditText":"Bauer-Griffin/GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5558043/arnold-schwarzenegger-mini-pony-bike/","name":"Arnold Schwarzenegger Chasing a Mini Pony by Bike Is Forever Your Monday Motivation"}}]}] ```
