What's important is to get into shape and then not to have to worry about it. I don't want to get on stage and not being able to do something. Not being physically fit doesn't work for me.

The reason I exercise is for the quality of life I enjoy.

Practice puts brains in your muscles.

Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. If makes it feel needed.

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!

If a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.

The human body is the best picture of the human soul.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

We've got to get people out of their cars, out of those drive-thru windows, get them walking, get them in parks and get them more active.

I've exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.

Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year.

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

Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced.

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse.

To enjoy the glow of good health, you must exercise.

If I don't feel confident about my body, I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

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.

A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.

I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.

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

What you want is to rev up your metabolism so that you are burning fat and calories, not preserving fat and calories.

A feeble body weakens the mind.

I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.

There's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it.

Exercise is the chief source of improvement in our faculties.

Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.

The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it.

Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

Yoga's an amazing release.

Exercise is amazing, from the inside out. I feel so alive and have more energy.

I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all.

A muscle is like a car. If you want it to run well early in the morning, you have to warm it up.

I started running around my 30th birthday. I wanted to lose weight; I didn't anticipate the serenity. Being in motion, suddenly my body was busy and so my head could work out some issues I had swept under a carpet of wine and cheese. Good therapy, that's a good run.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

Health is the vital principle of bliss, and exercise, of health.

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.

Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

Flexibility is crucial to my fitness. Incorporating a good warm-up and cool-down into every session decreases my chances of injury. I use both dynamic and static stretching in my training. I've starting doing a few yoga sessions which incorporates muscle strength and flexibility.

Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula.

The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.

A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.

I concentrate on exercises from the waist down, since that is the laziest part of a woman's body.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

The only weights I lift are my dogs.

I don't smoke, don't drink much, and go to the gym five times a week. I live a healthy lifestyle and feel great. I can run a marathon, you know.

When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

Muscles come and go; flab lasts.

I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.

You need to eat normally and healthfully, and you need to exercise. I'm so passionate about this because I think people spend their lives not happy in their bodies.

There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?

I love to swim for miles; I could just go back and forth.

Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve, by better nutrition and better exercise.

You gotta have a body.

My wife and I work out together almost every day. It's just a great way to spend time together. We're going to run a marathon together later this year, and that's one more goal that we'll accomplish as husband and wife.

Don't get me wrong, I think bikes are terrific. I own several of my own, including a trendy mountain style, and ride them for pleasure and light exercise.

My job is to be fit and I'm really blessed that I get to go and work out and live a really healthy lifestyle.

I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.

When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.

Regularity in the hours of rising and retiring, perseverance in exercise, adaptation of dress to the variations of climate, simple and nutritious aliment, and temperance in all things are necessary branches of the regimen of health.

Why is there an end of the year? Because the calendar imposes numerical order on time. There is a natural fitness in the celebration of the New Year, a holiday of numbers imposed on things, with lists, as well as with Advent calendars and songs like 'The Twelve Days of Christmas.'

Once you are over 30, 35 years old, I think everyone should get down to the gym and start moving again.

Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.

Cycling keeps me lean and I need to stay in shape, especially as I still like eating chocolate and ice-cream! I like to go mountain biking too. Running is also good; it's what we were designed to do as humans, so it comes naturally.

I like exercise. I like a healthy body.

I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.

15 minutes a day! Give me just this and I'll prove I can make you a new man.

My bottom is so big it's got its own gravitational field.

It's not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won't be bulky.

Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK.

When I started out as a model, I took things for granted. Because I bagged work thanks to my looks, I didn't give my body any importance. I was a couch potato who'd eat anything. Then, in 2005, a tabloid ran a story calling me fat. I thought, 'I'm famous. How can I be fat?' It was a slap. I decided to get fit.

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

For exercise, I now run with my chocolate Lab puppy, Oscar.

Even though I'm not a competitive athlete, I have to still maintain things and try to keep myself fit because I am at that age where I need to make sure to get those regular checkups and make sure everything is in tact.
