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.
Dwayne JohnsonI have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.
Dolly PartonI 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 SchwarzeneggerLook 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. MaxwellYou’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. SeussJust 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 WillinkI 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 MurakamiThe 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.
Nikola TeslaI believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
Neil ArmstrongEvery man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaTeam 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.
Haruki MurakamiI don’t exercise.
Lou HoltzA 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 KohliI’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
Erma BombeckI do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.
Ruth Bader GinsburgTraining and resting takes up most of my time.
Sunil ChhetriNothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!
Ariana GrandePeople 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 McGregorFrom 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.
Conor McGregorI know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.
Jackie ChanPart 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 JohnsonThere’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.
Richard BransonGod has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis BaconI 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 BradyF2’s much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.
Lando NorrisThe only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
Erma BombeckI’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.
Dolly PartonOrdinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.
Sunil ChhetriI always find the time to exercise – kitesurfing, tennis or cycling – and to spend time with my loved ones.
Richard BransonBasically 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.
Keanu ReevesExercise is labor without weariness.
Samuel JohnsonI love being active.
Dolly PartonI 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 BradyThe brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.
Karl LagerfeldNow 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 WinehouseEven if you have a terminal disease, you don’t have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.
Nelson MandelaMy movements, ma’am, are all leg movements. I don’t do nothing with my body.
Elvis PresleyI think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.
Richard BransonWe’re the only animal that wakes up and doesn’t stretch.
Conor McGregorTraining gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI 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 DyerWe 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.
EpicurusYou need to understand what works best for your own body.
Sunil ChhetriIn the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.
Ralph Waldo EmersonFor 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 JohnsonLeave 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’m much healthier now.
Amy WinehouseLet 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. ChestertonWhen 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 KhaledI 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 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 HopkinsI 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 have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.
Karl LagerfeldMy schedule goes: wake up, running, exercise, downstairs, running shoes off, then to the shower. That’s the Jackie Chan diary.
Jackie ChanI’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 MurakamiAll truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.
Friedrich NietzscheA 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.
Conor McGregorI 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.
RihannaI 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.
Ruth Bader GinsburgReading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison
