I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.
DJ KhaledAkron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I’m still working out at my old high school.
LeBron JamesJiu Jitsu is a great workout both mentally and physically. You want to be strong for it and flexible for it.
Jocko WillinkWithout exercise, I don’t feel like my head works right.
Matthew McConaugheyPart 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 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’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI believe in singing to such an extent that, if I were asked to redesign the British educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing becomes a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourages a taste for cooperation with others.
Brian EnoI’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 MurakamiYa know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.
Jim CarreyI 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 like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel OsteenI 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 never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.
Mark TwainI 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 GinsburgI 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 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 NorrisI think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.
Richard BransonMy dad used to have an expression – ‚It is the lucky person who gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.‘
Joe BidenI have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.
Groucho MarxI do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.
Lady GagaFor 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 JohnsonAll I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.
Tom BradyI make preparations both to live and to die every day, but with the emphasis on not dying, and on acting as if I was going to carry on living.
Christopher HitchensI look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn’t think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I’d like to think comes from the years of attention we’ve put into this.
Michelle ObamaI feel 80% of my life is completely normal.
J. K. RowlingMy doctor told me I shouldn’t work out until I’m in better shape. I told him, ‚All right; don’t send me a bill until I pay you.‘
Steven WrightI don’t get up, get dressed, go out, and think, ‚Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.‘
Steven WrightAs 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 MurakamiThe 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 JohnsonI do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.
Ruth Bader GinsburgIf you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it’s more fun.
Matthew McConaugheyI’m not sure how I’d survive without English Breakfast tea. Even in the Caribbean, I must drink 20 cups a day.
Richard BransonA man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
Albert SchweitzerI used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
Haruki MurakamiCoaches 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 KloppI 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’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
Erma BombeckI have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.
Karl LagerfeldThe only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
Erma BombeckI 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 ObamaWe 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.
EpicurusTraining gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerNo man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else.
Henry AdamsCycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.
David ByrneI love being active.
Dolly PartonI always find the time to exercise – kitesurfing, tennis or cycling – and to spend time with my loved ones.
Richard BransonThe successful men I admired all built their bodies.
Dwayne JohnsonThere’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.
Richard BransonIf 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 WillinkA feeble body weakens the mind.
Jean-Jacques RousseauA 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 had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.
Muhammad AliI used to meditate all the time in bed. That was when I was raising my daughter, and I’d get her up and off to school, and then I would go back to bed and meditate. And then I would do the same in the evening, and that was very good for that period because I had so many things to juggle as a single mother.
Alice WalkerYou’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. SeussI’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.
Dwayne JohnsonI 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’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.
Dolly PartonA 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 McGregorF2’s much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.
Lando Norris
