I’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
Erma BombeckWalking is man’s best medicine.
HippocratesThe men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody – like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger – and I thought, ‚That can be me.‘ So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn’t realize back then that I was having a defining moment.
Dwayne JohnsonReading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph AddisonWe must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.
EpicurusNothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!
Ariana GrandeIf you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.
Jocko WillinkIf we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.
HippocratesI 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.
Tom BradyI 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.
Haruki MurakamiI do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerCross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
Steven WrightTraining gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerPeople 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.
Conor McGregorJust 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.
Jocko WillinkMy movements, ma’am, are all leg movements. I don’t do nothing with my body.
Elvis PresleyThe brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.
Karl LagerfeldDo 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.
Jocko WillinkI 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.
Tom BradyI 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.
Tom BradyThere’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.
Richard BransonIf you ever see The Rock working out in the gym, don’t think you can just go up and disturb his workout and expect him to take a picture. He’s there to work, so kindly just pass the silverback on by or he’ll rip your face off.
Dwayne JohnsonI had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.
Muhammad AliWhen 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.
DJ KhaledApart 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.
Robert Baden-PowellLet 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.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI love being active.
Dolly PartonI do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.
Lady GagaGod has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis BaconI don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.
Wayne DyerI have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Anthony HopkinsWriting 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.
Haruki MurakamiLook 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.
John C. MaxwellI 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.
David GogginsPhysical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
John F. KennedyIt was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I’d put on 50 pounds.
Robert KiyosakiI like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel OsteenMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorI have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.
Mark TwainWalking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.
Thomas JeffersonI have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.
Michelle ObamaI still work out on a daily basis.
Clint EastwoodNo man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else.
Henry AdamsGlutes are power.
Conor McGregorExercise is really important to me – it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle ObamaWithout exercise, I don’t feel like my head works right.
Matthew McConaugheyI don’t exercise.
Lou HoltzIn the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
Neil ArmstrongI began running on an everyday basis after I became a writer. As being a writer requires sitting at a desk for hours a day, without getting some exercise you’d quickly get out of shape and gain weight, I figured.
Haruki MurakamiLeave 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.
Thomas JeffersonI 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.
Kevin HartPart 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.
Dwayne JohnsonI know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.
Jackie ChanI train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.
Conor McGregorI think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.
Richard BransonI’m much healthier now.
Amy WinehouseI run New York City!
Conor McGregorI am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It’s easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.
Bad BunnyWorking out anchors my day.
Dwayne Johnson
