BAGHDAD (AP) -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger dropped in on U.S. troops in Iraq on Monday, thanking them for the sacrifices they and their families are making.

Schwarzenegger entered a crowded dining hall at Camp Victory on Baghdad's outskirts to a loud roar from the soldiers gathered.

He congratulated them on the job they were doing before shaking hands and posing for photographs.

The former Mr. Universe also discussed with soldiers the need to work out, reminding them: "You have to pump up every day."

Schwarzenegger planned to work out with some of the troops on Tuesday after serving them breakfast, said his spokesman, Aaron McLear.
