More quotes by Jack LaLanne
I don't think about wealth. I get one thing in my mind, How can I help people...come on humans...do something, you know. Let's wake up. Man alive...you're half dead. Let's do some living.
Jack LaLanne
People will set a New Year's resolution: I'm gonna get in shape this year. But they don't set a parameter for how they're gonna measure it. Or if they do measure it, they wait until the first day of the next year. You'd never run a business that way. Document your progress.
Jack LaLanne
Sitting around on your big fat gluteus maximus talking about the good old days. The good old days are right this second. You've got to exercise VIG-OR-OUSLY! Life is tough. Life is a challenge. Life is a battlefield... . Life is an athletic event, and you must train for it.

The secret to a long and healthy marriage is to work at it and don't try and change each other.

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.

Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.
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't separate the mind and body. It's impossible.
Jack LaLanne
Ask the guys who are doing serious triathlons if there are any limits to what can be done. The limit is right here. You've got to get physically fit between the ears. Muscles don't know anything. They have to be taught.
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
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!
Jack LaLanne
You've got to work at living-99 and 9/10 of Americans work at dying!
Jack LaLanne
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key.

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
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
Figure out what's good for you, then create a liking for it. You've got to work at living.
Jack LaLanne
Physical fitness takes commitment to exercise just as it requires good nutrition. But it doesn't have to be painful. Just the opposite: Vigorous exercise actually is stimulating. It boosts your energy levels, invigorates your mind, and just feels good afterward. The hardest part, of course, is getting started.
Jack LaLanne
Never, ever get satisfied keep the carrot in front of the horse.
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
Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
