The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.
It’s survival of the fittest. You can’t have everything perfect, that’s impossible, but the fit survive. The fit can handle the impurities in the air and in the water, but the poor people who are sick, it really affects them more.
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That’s the key.

Exercise to live. Never live to exercise.
I only eat fish – no chicken, no turkey, just fish. I get all my protein from fish and egg whites.
That’s what I wanted! I wanted to be an athlete, I wanted the girls to like me, and I wanted to be able to get good grades in school, and this man said I could do all that.
Muscle cells strengthen in response to intense exercise – whether you’re 18 or 88. But the intensity is what’s lacking in most people’s workouts. And there are doctors who’ll give you the advice, “Well, don’t push it.”
People will set a New Year’s resolution: “I’m gonna get in shape this year.” But they don’t set a parameter for how they’re gonna measure it. Or if they do measure it, they wait until the first day of the next year. You’d never run a business that way. Document your progress.
Progress is made where progress is measured.
Living is like training for an athletic event. You have to have goals and challenges; you need to exercise and eat right.
If you take steroids, you have to pay the price. They can kill you; there are no shortcuts. It’s like going to bed with a rattlesnake, it’s got to get you.
My wife is my protector. Without her, I’m nothing. She wants to please me, and I want to please her. We’ve been together over 53 years.
Never, ever get satisfied; keep the carrot in front of the horse.
Be young. Keep yourself young by having a good, sporty car like a Corvette. It keeps you on your toes. It keeps you young. It keeps you thinking young. It keeps you thinking modern and good things. Corvette is a modern, modern automobile.
I’ve always liked fast cars and slow women.
Forget about what you used to do. Don’t make those same mistakes again. Everybody says, “Oh the good old days” – the good old days are right this second! This moment controls the next moment.
People feel so guilty about not exercising. Especially people over 50, who feel like they’ve gone a lifetime without taking care of themselves. Instead of aiming for perfection, you should try to celebrate the progress you’re making.
I’m a believer in routine. I like to see people work out at the same time each day.
One of the reasons so many people fail is they get on this treadmill for an hour or an hour and a half. That’s totally unnecessary. If it’s cardiovascular, you don’t need more than 15 to 17 or 18 minutes if it’s vigorous.
The tape measure doesn’t lie. Get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. Keep checking it. And keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.
