The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.
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!

Exercise to live. Never live to exercise.

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
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
Better to wear out than rust out.
Jack LaLanne
You can't separate the mind and body. It's impossible.
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.
Jack LaLanne
It's a lifestyle, it's something you do the rest of your life, LaLanne said. How long are you going to keep breathing? How long do you keep eating? You just do it.
Jack LaLanne
That is the beautiful part about weights: even if you are 100 year old, you can lift something. Maybe it's only a half a pound or a pound or two pounds. It will still do something.
Jack LaLanne
I've always liked fast cars and slow women.
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
I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys out.

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.
