"You have to really say, ‘I see myself as the Governor.’ Like I did. I saw myself as the Governor and I was absolutely convinced I could do a better job than the politicians did," Schwarzenegger said according to US Weekly.
Jason, who recently retired from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, seemed to take Schwarzenegger’s advice to heart.
He said, “Don’t get me pumped up right now to go do this. I’ve got a clear vision of my career right now.”
Despite Jason’s reservations, Schwarzenegger continued to encourage him, even suggesting that he could go from “Governor to President!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s weight loss advice to Jason Kelce
Jason also asked Schwarzenegger for advice on losing weight while maintaining muscle mass.
Schwarzenegger advised him, “It’s unnecessary to go and try to out-do the lifting and all that stuff."
"I’d rather see you doing 12-15 reps of exercise and doing it as strict as possible and to do many sets," he said.
"Do it the right way and gain the muscle size, rather than just torture yourself and have injuries. That time should be over for you,” he added.
Oh no we forgot to cut this part out…
