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

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.

The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit.

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

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

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 do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups. And I do the Canadian Air Force exercises almost every day.

All I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.

A 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.

The 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Glutes are power.

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

I 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.

Now 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.

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

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

The brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.

A feeble body weakens the mind.

I 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.

If 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.

Working out anchors my day.

I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.

Coaches 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.

I still work out on a daily basis.

As 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.

If 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.

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.

No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else.

For 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.

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.

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

I run New York City!

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.

I 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.

I’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.

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

It 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.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

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.

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

I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.

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.

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.

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

Ordinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.

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

I don’t exercise.

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

I 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.

I 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.

I’m much healthier now.

I train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.

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

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

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.

Walking is man’s best medicine.
