If you're tired and pooped out all the time, do you have love and compassion in your heart for your fellow man? You don't even like yourself!

More quotes by Jack LaLanne
You've got to work at living-99 and 9/10 of Americans work at dying!
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
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
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
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
The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.
Jack LaLanne
Figure out what's good for you, then create a liking for it. You've got to work at living.
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
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?
Jack LaLanne
I'm a believer in routine. I like to see people work out at the same time each day.
Jack LaLanne
You start out with an hour on the treadmill, then another hour of lifting - hell, in two weeks you're not doing anything anymore. You gotta be reasonable.
Jack LaLanne
The essence of decay is inactivity.
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
Exercise to live. Never live to exercise.
Jack LaLanne
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest.
Jack LaLanne
I believe so strongly in what I do and I practice what I preach! My Dad died at fifty - do I have to die at fifty? My Dad ate all the junk food, he wouldn't exercise - how can you tell your Dad anything? We know about nutrition and we know about exercise. There's no reason for anybody to be sick and tired, fat and out of shape - it's ridiculous!
Jack LaLanne
Maybe 50 or 60 percent of all divorces are predicated on someone's being physically unfit. Who wants to live with negativism? Love goes out the window.
Jack LaLanne
Invest in yourself now and reap the dividends day after day after month after year.
Jack LaLanne
Homosexuals love to look good. They're clean, neat. They're fastidious, well mannered and well educated. They like aesthetic things. They like good, firm, tight bodies. Health. They want to attract other guys. What's wrong with that? Why be slobs? You've got to be insane to suggest that because someone looks good, he must be gay. That's envy.
Jack LaLanne
Billy Graham is for the hereafter. I'm for the here and now.
