More quotes by 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
You only live once, why be miserable? Fat people are miserable -- you are carrying 50 lbs on your shoulders all day, you get a disease called pooped-out itis. Don't tell me that they are happy with the way they look and feel. I have to be honest, that is all I have.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
People thought I was a charlatan and a nut. The doctors were against me -- they said that working out with weights would give people heart attacks and they would lose their sex drive.
Jack LaLanne
If man made it, don't eat it.
Jack LaLanne
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.
Jack LaLanne
I see a sea of millions of people going down with their own negative thoughts, going down for the third time in this big sea of iniquity and negativity.
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
So many older people, they just sit around all day long and they don't get any exercise. Their muscles atrophy, and they lose their strength, their energy and vitality by inactivity.
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 never think of my age, never. I could be 20 or 100. I never think about it, I'm just me.
Jack LaLanne
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.
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
You should be proud of what you're doing, but not conceited. If you can't be proud of yourself, you're a failure. And discipline. To do anything in life you have to have discipline. To accomplish anything, you have a goal, challenge yourself, and work until you accomplish that goal. Practice what you preach.
Jack LaLanne
I've always liked fast cars and slow women.
Jack LaLanne
If you can't afford a half hour three or four times a week taking care of the most priceless possession, your body, you've got to be sick. You're stupid.
Jack LaLanne
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.
Jack LaLanne
Your waistline is your lifeline

I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys 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
