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
If man makes it, I don't eat it!

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.

When I first started out, I was considered a crackpot. The doctors used to say, Don't go to that Jack LaLanne, you'll get hemorrhoids, you won't get an erection, you women will look like men, you athletes will get muscle-bound -- this is what I had to go through.
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
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.

The only way you can hurt your body is if you don't use it
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.

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
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
Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it's never too late.
Jack LaLanne
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
Develop a positive attitude. Think and picture how amazing you are going to be. Visualize it!
Jack LaLanne
Be an example of what you teach. [As a personal trainer], delve into your student's life, know everything about him. Be interested.
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.

Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
Jack LaLanne
Those who begin to exercise regularly and replace white flour, sugar and devitalized foods with live, organic natural foods begin to feel better immediately. Exercise is king, nutrition is queen -- put them together and you've got a kingdom.
Jack LaLanne
If man made it, don't eat it.
Jack LaLanne
You can't separate the mind and body. It's impossible.
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
