More quotes by Jack LaLanne
If it tastes good, spit it out!
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
Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Together, you’ve got a kingdom. If you have a Corvette, you don’t put water in the tank. The human machine deserves the same treatment.
Jack LaLanne
My top priority in life is my workout. Regardless of what happens, I hit that gym. Even when I was in the hospital twice with serious knee operations: Right after I came out of anesthesia, there was a chin bar over my head and dumbbells. I worked out immediately.
Jack LaLanne
Develop a positive attitude. Think and picture how amazing you are going to be. Visualize 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
Most people, when they reach a certain age, let down and talk about what they used to do. Well, who gives a damn about what you used to do? It's what you're doing now.
Jack LaLanne
Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest.
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
You can exercise vigorously and eat junk and get by. But you can't eat perfectly and not exercise. Look at many athletes today they are human garbage cans. They eat anything, but they exercise so hard they burn it up. But why not exercise and put the right fuel in too?
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
Remember this: your body is your slave it works for you.
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
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
Living is like training for an athletic event. You have to have goals and challenges you need to exercise and eat right.
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
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
Homosexuals love to look good. They're clean, neat. They're fastidious, well mannered and well educated. They like aesthetic things. They like good, firm, tight bodies. Health. They want to attract other guys. What's wrong with that? Why be slobs? You've got to be insane to suggest that because someone looks good, he must be gay. That's envy.
Jack LaLanne
Invest in yourself now and reap the dividends day after day after month after year.
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.
