Working out anchors my day.

The successful men I admired all built their bodies.

If I went out to play basketball with other kids, when I came home I’d shower and go right back to the computer again. If there was a birthday party or a family activity, I would take my laptop and spend the whole day there.

I’m an early riser. I get up between five and six, have coffee, and read for a couple of hours before everyone else gets up.

I was part of Jazzercise class. It was an aerobics routine accompanied by loud music, sounding quite awful to me. Jazzercise was popular in the ’80s and ’90s.

Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It’s a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.

Walking is man’s best medicine.

Every day I pray about all I do.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.

My movements, ma’am, are all leg movements. I don’t do nothing with my body.

Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.

Jiu Jitsu is probably the No. 1 activity that I could recommend to someone to improve their lives overall.

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don’t allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.

Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

For different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.

I’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.

I don’t exercise.

A good day is one where I can not just read a book, but write a review of it. Maybe today I’ll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I’m crepuscular.

I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don’t require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I’ll take a powernap during the day.

At the end of the day, I pray for the best.

Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.

I’ve been running a lot, taking care of myself.

I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

I make preparations both to live and to die every day, but with the emphasis on not dying, and on acting as if I was going to carry on living.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

I used to meditate all the time in bed. That was when I was raising my daughter, and I’d get her up and off to school, and then I would go back to bed and meditate. And then I would do the same in the evening, and that was very good for that period because I had so many things to juggle as a single mother.

F2’s much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.

I don’t think the ebbs and flows – get in great shape and then get out of shape and then see if you can get back into shape – is a good thing. So I prefer to keep my arm always ready to go.

Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

I like playing basketball and going to the gym. I don’t box, but I’ll ride my bike and go jogging or running in the park. Sometimes my lady and I go hiking.

I swam underwater for 50 meters at a time and walked the length of the pool underwater, with a brick in each hand, all on a single breath.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.

I’ve been running a full marathon every year for more than 20 years, and my record is getting worse. Getting older, getting worse. It’s natural.

Every day is a major balancing act that I have to figure out and coordinate.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.

I’m not a health freak. I just work out every day.

Jiu Jitsu is a great workout both mentally and physically. You want to be strong for it and flexible for it.

I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.

I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.

Some people, they take their form of working out as a religion that they think is better than everyone else’s. I’m not like that. If you have a better way to work out, and you can teach it to me, and I find it to be useful and gets me in better shape, I’m all about.

When I inspire myself, I want to spread the word because its important to be healthy. I don’t think they’re teaching us enough about that. I think we should eat better and exercise. Look who’s saying that – a guy who was 300 pounds – but I’m doing a lot better than I used to. I’m letting people know its important because it makes you feel better.

I used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.

My father was a swim teacher. We used to swim before school, swim after school.

There’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.

I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.

When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ‚cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

I didn’t want to lift weights and get all big; I just wanted to get cut.

I love being active.

I don’t get up, get dressed, go out, and think, ‚Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.‘
