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

Enjoyment is an incredible energizer to the human spirit.

I 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.

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

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.

That’s the biggest gift I can give anybody: ‚Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you’re doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.‘

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

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

Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering – an image of death.

People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

Many of my fans often tell me that they listen to my songs to get through things. And therefore, obviously, I hope that they can picture being in a place where things are better… I hope my songs can bring people to a calm place.

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.

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.

The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness.

I was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

I want to be relaxed in my personal life. I really don’t like to be hassled.

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

A feeble body weakens the mind.

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.

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.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

It is as necessary for man to live in beauty rather than ugliness as it is necessary for him to have food for an aching belly or rest for a weary body.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

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.

No body can be healthful without exercise, neither natural body nor politic, and certainly, to a kingdom or estate, a just and honourable war is the true exercise.

Life well spent is long.

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.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.

I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.

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.

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

There’s no substitute for the practice of meditation.

For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?

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.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

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.

If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.

If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it’s more fun.

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.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

Let 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.

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

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

Apart from the fact that any hardy exercise conduces much to the training and formation of a soldier, pig-sticking tends to give a man what is called a ‚stalker’s eye,‘ but which, par excellence, is the soldier’s eye.

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.

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.

To be happy we must not be too concerned with others.

I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.
