More quotes by Jack LaLanne
Living is like training for an athletic event. You have to have goals and challenges you need to exercise and eat right.
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
By exercise. I'll tell you one thing, you don't always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I'm on the road.
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.
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
All athletes would be better if they eat better. Junk in equals Junk out.

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
If you can't afford a half hour three or four times a week taking care of the most priceless possession, your body, you've got to be sick. You're stupid.
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
Forget about what you used to do. Don't make those same mistakes again. Everybody says, Oh the good old days - the good old days are right this second! This moment controls the next moment.
Jack LaLanne
The secret to a long and healthy marriage is to work at it and don't try and change each other.
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
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
The only way you can hurt your body is if you don't use it

The most important person on this earth is you. What are you doing to help the most important person in this world: you? To live right, you have to exercise, have goals and challenges.
