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.

More quotes by Jack LaLanne
The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.
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
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
Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it's never too late.
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
You've got to work at living-99 and 9/10 of Americans work at dying!
Jack LaLanne
If it tastes good, spit it out!
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
Figure out what's good for you, then create a liking for it. You've got to work at living.
Jack LaLanne
My workout is my obligation to life. It's my tranquilizer. It's part of the way I tell the truth--and telling the truth is what's kept me going all these years.
Jack LaLanne
Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.
Jack LaLanne
Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.
Jack LaLanne
You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!
Jack LaLanne
I've always liked fast cars and slow women.
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
If it tastes good, spit it out. All those cakes and pies and candy and ice cream -- all that terrible fast food stuff! I just bought a new corvette sports car ... would I put oil in the gas tank? Would I?
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
How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday.Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow. If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple.
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
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.
