Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer’s day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented.

The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you’ve got to start saving. It’s not easy.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

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

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called ‚walking.‘

I really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.

Front yards are not made to walk in, but, at most, through, and you could go in the back way.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Israel was not created in order to disappear – Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

From the moment I open my eyes, I’m trying to free my body. I’m trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.

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

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.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what they had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.

I look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn’t think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I’d like to think comes from the years of attention we’ve put into this.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.

The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother.

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.

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

Apart from the fact that any hardy exercise conduces much to the training and formation of a soldier, pig-sticking tends to give a man what is called a ‚stalker’s eye,‘ but which, par excellence, is the soldier’s eye.

Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.

When you say, ‚I spent my summers at the Jersey Shore,‘ people always say, ‚Oh, really?‘ They think of the TV show. So I just say, ‚A cute little harbor town in New Jersey.‘

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

The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

I’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.

Do I have chocolate chip cookies? Yes, I do. Do I have mint chocolate chip milkshakes? Yes, I do. I love them. They are fantastic. But when I have them, they’re worth it. I earned them. I did something. I worked out super hard. I stayed clean on food.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.

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

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

My schedule goes: wake up, running, exercise, downstairs, running shoes off, then to the shower. That’s the Jackie Chan diary.

For me, there have been times when an action movie, even a ‚Tomb Raider,‘ has helped me get out of myself and be physical again. It’s like therapy.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

I didn’t go to school for a full year until I was 12. In the summer I was a wild child in the woods, with no shoes, and in the fall it was back to the city, shoe shops and school.

Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.

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

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

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

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.

I hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that’s too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.

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.

In many ways, September feels like the busiest time of the year: The kids go back to school, work piles up after the summer’s dog days, and Thanksgiving is suddenly upon us.

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.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

I don’t exercise.

I have always liked running, so it wasn’t particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. It does not require anybody to do it with, and so I found the sport perfectly fits me as a person who tends to be independent and individualistic.

Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.

After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one’s person.

If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn’t swim.

Just do some kind of workout. Doesn’t matter if it’s going for a walk around the block, going for a jog, doing some calisthenics, lifting weights, going to a pool and swimming – you name it. But do something that gets your blood flowing and gets your mind in the game.

Dancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it’s fun. While it’s happening it’s fun. I feel tall.

I sometimes have a tendency to walk on the dark side.

I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

Great loves too must be endured.
