To get ready to climb Everest, I did a lot of hill running with a daypack on and a lot of underwater swimming. I would swim a couple of lengths underwater and then a couple above. It gets your body going with limited oxygen.

More quotes by Bear Grylls
I train five days a week hard - but it is short and sharp - 30 to 40 minutes of functional and pretty dynamic body-strength circuits, then I do a good yoga session on the sixth day, then I rest.
Bear Grylls
I look back and understand the world a bit better and know how competitive it is .
Bear Grylls
The hardest thing about my job isn't the snake bites or the crocodiles, it's being away from my children. I have a really religious satellite phone call every day back to the boys, wherever we are, whatever time zone, to say goodnight.
Bear Grylls
For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!
Bear Grylls
My best life lessons and education didn't come from a classroom - they've come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you.
Bear Grylls
Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.
Bear Grylls
Unless you have shelter, fire is going to be very hard and if you have fire, but no water, you're going to die. They're all super important.
Bear Grylls
I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.
Bear Grylls
Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive - the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
Bear Grylls
Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone. Still safe, but outside your comfort zone.
Bear Grylls
I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural, and it wasn't religious.
Bear Grylls
I think viewers quite like it when I'm suffering or eating or drinking something horrible or really up against it in some quicksand or whatever.
Bear Grylls
I've eaten sheep's eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.
Bear Grylls
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
Bear Grylls
Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.
Bear Grylls
The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.
Bear Grylls
Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.
Bear Grylls
A wise man knows learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.
Bear Grylls
There's no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It's all about heart.
Bear Grylls
My favorite moments? Where it's all going swimmingly, the sun's out and I've got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.
