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.
RihannaAs long as possible, I would really like to complete one marathon per year. Though my time has been slowing down as I get older, it has become a very important part of my life.
Haruki MurakamiI worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.
Karl LagerfeldI do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.
Lady GagaCross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
Steven WrightOrdinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.
Sunil ChhetriI 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 BunnyI 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 never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.
Karl LagerfeldI’m not a health freak. I just work out every day.
Anthony HopkinsCoaches will say that it’s not important for their team to run more, and they prefer to make games the right way. I want to make games only the right way and run 10 km more.
Jurgen KloppIt’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.
Stephen CurryA feeble body weakens the mind.
Jean-Jacques RousseauI’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.
Dolly PartonI believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
Neil ArmstrongFor me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
Dwayne JohnsonI 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 HopkinsMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorNo man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else.
Henry AdamsA fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.
Virat KohliIf 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 WillinkIt 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 KiyosakiSome 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.
Jocko WillinkIf 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 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 SchwarzeneggerFor different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.
Dwayne JohnsonI’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
Erma BombeckI’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.
Haruki MurakamiI run New York City!
Conor McGregorThe only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
Erma BombeckI 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 HartJiu Jitsu is probably the No. 1 activity that I could recommend to someone to improve their lives overall.
Jocko WillinkI do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups. And I do the Canadian Air Force exercises almost every day.
Ruth Bader GinsburgI’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerAll I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.
Tom BradyIt’s simple, if it jiggles, it’s fat.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe 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.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerYou’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. SeussThe 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 JohnsonExercise is labor without weariness.
Samuel JohnsonNow I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.
Amy WinehouseI 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 BradyNothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!
Ariana GrandeI like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel OsteenWorking out anchors my day.
Dwayne JohnsonI 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 BradyWalking is man’s best medicine.
HippocratesI love being active.
Dolly PartonThere’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.
Richard BransonI don’t exercise.
Lou HoltzI 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 GogginsI do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.
Ruth Bader GinsburgI still work out on a daily basis.
Clint EastwoodI don’t like going to the gym. My biggest focus is the neck and endurance. I wear this ‚Fifty Shades of Grey‘ harness, with a resistance trainer pulling against it.
Lando NorrisWalking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.
Thomas JeffersonEvery action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don’t know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete.
Tom BradyPeople 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 McGregorMy movements, ma’am, are all leg movements. I don’t do nothing with my body.
Elvis PresleyI 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 McGregorExercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.
Henry Ford
