More quotes by Jack LaLanne
I never think of my age, never. I could be 20 or 100. I never think about it, I'm just me.
Jack LaLanne
Don't talk age! Age has nothing to do with it. One of my guys who started out at my gym is 87 now, and he still does ten bench-press reps with a hundred-pound dumbbell in each hand. He's training to set a leg-pressing record. I put things in the guy's brain way back when, and now he'll never get away from it.
Jack LaLanne
Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.
Jack LaLanne
Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
Jack LaLanne
You don't have to call it God or Jesus. That's religious humbug to a lot of people, but you've gotta believe that nature and spiritual things surround us. That is what put us here! I thank the universe for that every day of my life.
Jack LaLanne
On one of my birthdays I did 1,000 chin-ups and 1,000 push-ups. For my 70th birthday I towed 70 boats with 70 people in it, my feet and hands tied-my hands were in handcuffs, my feet were tied together-and I towed these boats a mile-and-a-half in Long Beach Harbor. For my 93rd birthday I'm going to tow my wife across the bathtub.

Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut?
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
The brain's preferred source of fuel is glucose/carbohydrates. And when you go on a low-carb/high-protein diet, your brain is using low-octane fuel. You'll be a little groggy, a little grumpy.
Jack LaLanne
Everything in life that's meaningful takes effort - takes vitality. You have to work at it. And God helps them who help themselves...help you.
Jack LaLanne
I've always liked fast cars and slow women.
Jack LaLanne
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.
Jack LaLanne
Another intruder that plagues our good health is sleeplessness. Insomnia is much like constipation in that stress or nervous tension can bring it on or aggravate it until there's almost no coping with it. That's why you find sleeping pills in so many medicine cabinets next to the laxatives.
Jack LaLanne
I have one thing in my mind. How can I get people to start taking care of themselves? That's all I think about.
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
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.
Jack LaLanne
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
Figure out what's good for you, then create a liking for it. You've got to work at living.
Jack LaLanne
It's a lifestyle, it's something you do the rest of your life, LaLanne said. How long are you going to keep breathing? How long do you keep eating? You just do it.
