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 used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip.

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

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

I do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.

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

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.

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 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 still work out on a daily basis.

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 done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.

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

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.

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.

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.

Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.

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 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.

Exercise 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.

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.

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

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

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 sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

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’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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Walking is man’s best medicine.

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

The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.

Glutes are power.

The harness of waterfalls is the most economical method known for drawing energy from the sun.

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.

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 successful men I admired all built their bodies.

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

It’s a real strength for me that I’ve never minded the training process. It’s something I enjoy. I really like being in the gym or, certainly, on the field.

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.

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.

It’s simple, if it jiggles, it’s fat.

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

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.

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.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

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.

I’m much healthier now.

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

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

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

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

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