Working out anchors my day.

I 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.

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.

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

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

Glutes are power.

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.

For me, there have been times when an action movie, even a ‚Tomb Raider,‘ has helped me get out of myself and be physical again. It’s like therapy.

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

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don’t allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.

I love being active.

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

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.

When 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.

Every day I pray about all I do.

I used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.

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

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

Nothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!

I always find the time to exercise – kitesurfing, tennis or cycling – and to spend time with my loved ones.

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

My 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.‘

I don’t get up, get dressed, go out, and think, ‚Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.‘

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.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

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 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.

Do I have chocolate chip cookies? Yes, I do. Do I have mint chocolate chip milkshakes? Yes, I do. I love them. They are fantastic. But when I have them, they’re worth it. I earned them. I did something. I worked out super hard. I stayed clean on food.

Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.

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

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

I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.

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’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

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.

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

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

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

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.

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.

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

My schedule goes: wake up, running, exercise, downstairs, running shoes off, then to the shower. That’s the Jackie Chan diary.

A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.

A 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.

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

In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don’t require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I’ll take a powernap during the day.

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

In one day, I have times where I’m feeling great, I feel like I love my life, and then 2:30 rolls around and I’m the angriest man alive. My wife sees it.

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.

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

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.

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

At the end of the day, I pray for the best.

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

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.
