This week has been a whirlwind book tour for Arnold, as he went from New York to DC to Columbus to Toronto, and fans have been flocking to his book signings! That includes us, of course, as Brandon Krum caught him in New York, The Gillinator said hi in DC, and Corey, the Gillinator's brother, saw Arnold in Columbus! We'll be back with full reports and pictures shortly. In the meantime, if you're near L.A. or Huntington Beach, CA, you can still catch Arnold on Friday or Saturday- check the schedule on schwarzenegger.com and send us your pics or stories of meeting the Oak in person! All reports say he is being very gracious, signing, shaking hands, and taking time with all the fans he can.
Arnold has been hitting the talk show and news circuit as well with some great interviews. Here's a list of the major ones you can watch online:
ESPN 30 for 30: Arnold's Blueprint
60 Minutes (starting around 18 minutes)
Good Morning America
The Daily Show
Washington Post Live
It's apparent from the interviews that very little is off limits-- Arnold talks about his life as he details it in the book, both his amazing achievements and regretful mistakes. This is probably the most personal we've seen Arnold get in interviews, just talking about what makes hiim the knd of man he is. Then John Stewart is always good at bringing levity to serious matters, saying how Arnold should just come back from the future to fix things and being creeped out by Arnold's skull ring!

Ever since Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger began his “Pumping Iron” days, he shocked the world with his accomplishments in muscles, exercise and athleticism. Without a doubt, The Austrian Oak has been the greatest role model for once low-esteemed couch potato zeroes turned confident athletic heroes. Followers would ride the rails of his fitness train. Come with Arnold if you wanted to live a healthier lifestyle and do some push-ups on the lawn of the White House when Schwarzenegger was on the President’s Council of Physical Fitness.
