I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.
You should do it against the clock. Say you are going to do 30 laps in 15 minutes. Then you try to do it each day a little faster. That is putting demands on the body, and that is how you build up. You keep up your energy instead of going downhill.
If you’ve got a big gut and you start doing sit-ups, you are going to get bigger because you build up the muscle. You’ve got to get rid of that fat! How do you get rid of fat? By changing your diet.
Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.
Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. What is wine, anyway? Pure grapes. A glass of wine is much better for you than a Coke.
My goal has always been to help people help themselves. Your body is your most priceless possession; you’ve go to take care of it!
You need to make good health a hobby.
Everything you do in life, I don’t care, good or bad – don’t blame God, don’t blame the devil, don’t blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you.
Virtually everything we do in life is a matter of habit. Habits make us who we are. Why not change your habits to better your life?
I don’t care how old I live! I just want to be living while I am living!
Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.
Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
Better to wear out than rust out.
The essence of decay is inactivity.
Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.
Those who begin to exercise regularly and replace white flour, sugar and devitalized foods with live, organic natural foods begin to feel better immediately. Exercise is king, nutrition is queen – put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.
You’ve got to exercise. Your health account, your bank account, they’re the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out.
It’s difficult to change overnight but if you are persistent and take one step at a time you will see results!
As it’s often been said, the rest of your life is the best of your life. I’m reaching for your hand now to help you reassess your attitude on living and jump into the happiest, healthiest, most productive years you will ever have.
Figure out what’s good for you, then create a liking for it. You’ve got to work at living.
