Your waistline is your lifeline
Jack LaLanne
Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it's never too late.
Jack LaLanne
The most important person on this earth is you. What are you doing to help the most important person in this world: you? To live right, you have to exercise, have goals and challenges.
Jack LaLanne
There is no fountain of youth, What you put into your body is what you get out of it. You would not feed your dog a coffee and doughnut for breakfast followed by a cigarette. You will kill the damn dog.
Jack LaLanne
Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.
Jack LaLanne
The crusade is never off my mind - the exercise I do, the food I eat, the thought I think - all this and how I can help make my profession better-respected. To me, this one thing - physical culture and nutrition - is the salvation of America.
Jack LaLanne
I think fat, out-of-shape people should be fined.
Jack LaLanne
Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Together, you’ve got a kingdom. If you have a Corvette, you don’t put water in the tank. The human machine deserves the same treatment.
Jack LaLanne
I'm a believer in routine. I like to see people work out at the same time each day.
Jack LaLanne
If man made it, don't eat it.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
Most people, when they reach a certain age, let down and talk about what they used to do. Well, who gives a damn about what you used to do? It's what you're doing now.
Jack LaLanne
If you lose a couple of inches off your stomach, your business down there will look a lot longer.
Jack LaLanne
You can exercise vigorously and eat junk and get by. But you can't eat perfectly and not exercise. Look at many athletes today they are human garbage cans. They eat anything, but they exercise so hard they burn it up. But why not exercise and put the right fuel in too?
Jack LaLanne
The most important thing in your life is your health and your body. You can have all the education and you can have millions of dollars in the bank, but if you've got headaches every day, if you're fat and you are out of shape - what good is your money? Your health account and your bank account, build them both up!
Jack LaLanne
By exercise. I'll tell you one thing, you don't always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I'm on the road.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
George Burns was more athletic than you think he was. And he was a very social man. He loved people, he enjoyed life. He worked at living. Old George was a social lion, he got around and did things. That's the key right there. It starts with your brain.
Jack LaLanne
Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That's what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?
