Joseph Baena, son of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, loves the gym just like his father. In a recent pair of Instagram posts, the 25-year-old shared a grueling endurance workout and unveiled an impressive physique update.
With a striking resemblance to Schwarzenegger, Joseph admits comparisons have been difficult to get used to. Nevertheless, his dedication to fitness and bodybuilding workouts is evident anytime he picks up weights.
While Joseph doesn’t compete professionally, fans favor his chances should he take to a bodybuilding stage. Baena shares workout/posing collaborations regularly, where he teams up with bodybuilders who have long made their mark on the sport, like Robby Robinson and Mr. Universe winner Mike O’Hearn.
Having commanded roles in the Terminator 2 Remake with Joseph Baena, Bad to the Bone (2016), Chariot (2022), and Bully High (2022), Baena continues to test the waters in Hollywood. Given his family name and fitness level, Baena invited his followers to try a challenging endurance workout that took him an hour and 20 minutes to complete.
Joseph Baena Shows Off Built Physique with ‘Full-Body Endurance Circuit’ Workout
In the caption of the Instagram post, Baena shared his preference for switching up exercises over time.
“I always love switching up my workouts every once in a while. Could be trying a new exercise, doing drop sets or even trying a new sport. Today I tried this Full Body Endurance Circuit. It consisted of 6 super sets and totally wore the group out, but also pumped us up! Completed it in about 1hr 20min, but think I can get a faster time on the next try. How fast do you think you can complete this workout?”

Given Baena’s training session consisted of 12 different exercises, it is a daunting challenge since there are no dedicated rest periods. The workout used by Baena was created by trainer Lawrence Cuse.
Considering Baena’s physique and posing strengths, fans would love nothing more than to see him take on a bodybuilding competition. While he’s left that door open for the future, Baena stressed that his attention is solely focused on building his physique for acting gigs not for the stage.
