| Hugh Blair | Exercise is the chief source of improvement in our faculties. | 101 |
| Kimberly Williams-Paisley | I don't do very well with extremes of any kind - extreme diets, extreme fitness - so moderation makes a lot of sense, and Hershey's has really great portion-friendly desserts to help people incorporate treats into their lifestyles so they don't feel like they're depriving themselves and are still living a balanced life. | 101 |
| Sara Rue | You can control what you put in your body - 100 percent. You really can control your level of fitness and how your body looks. | 101 |

| Josh Duhamel | My mother was a P.E. teacher, and she was kind of a fanatic about fitness and nutrition growing up, so it was ingrained in me at a young age. As I get older, I'm finding out it's not about getting all buffed up and looking good. It's more about staying healthy and flexible. | 101 |

Right around that time, I started doing some angel investing and looking to grow my skills and general experience outside of that. | 102 |

| Kim Alexis | I would rather exercise than read a newspaper. | 103 |
| Warren Cuccurullo | The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's. | 103 |

| Jillian Michaels | For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people. | 103 |

| George A. Sheehan | Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse. | 103 |

| Paul Dudley White | A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. | 103 |
| Sarah Parish | I'd love to look like my mum when I am her age. She taught ballet for years, and my attitude to exercise and fitness has definitely been influenced by her. She's 84 now, and I've watched how well she has aged, and a lot of that is to do with her fantastic posture. | 103 |

| Harbhajan Singh | Let's face it: fitness is boring. But it's critical to be extremely dedicated to whatever you decide to take up to achieve a desired result. There's no way you are going to get there without dedication, which is the key for me. | 104 |

| Arjun Rampal | Almost 70 per cent of your fitness battle is won the day you realise what your body needs and when. I've made my own diets, and I decide for myself what works for me. | 104 |
| Jillian Michaels | I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks.

| Peter Shilton | I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did. | 104 |

| Brett Hoebel | You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say, 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you. | 104 |
| Kevin R. Stone | Never, ever exercise in front of a TV or while reading. You lose 50 percent of the benefit of the exercise by not hearing and feeling your heart rate, your sweat and the pain levels that need to be encountered in fitness training. | 104 |
| Magnus Scheving | When I was a little kid growing up in Iceland, I always dreamed about creating something that could have an impact on the whole world, and even as a young boy I was passionate about fitness and sports. | 104 |

| Chris Cornell | What's important is to get into shape and then not to have to worry about it. I don't want to get on stage and not being able to do something. Not being physically fit doesn't work for me. | 105 |
| Leonard Lauder | Every morning, I eat one fat-free yogurt with a sliced peach when peaches are in season, and one thin slice of whole-wheat bread. The same thing. I don't want to get fat. And I want to keep my fitness. | 105 |
| MaryJanice Davidson | I always knew I'd keep at it with the plodding doggedness that I used to master lump-less gravy and wriggle out of fitness classes; I always knew I'd get a zillion rejection slips. I figured I'd write part time while working various full-time office jobs, and maybe, maybe in my 50s, I'd be able to quit and try writing full time. | 105 |
| Richard Hammond | I think a basic level of fitness can help the body cope with all manner of incidents. | 105 |

| Michael Weatherly | I started running around my 30th birthday. I wanted to lose weight; I didn't anticipate the serenity. Being in motion, suddenly my body was busy and so my head could work out some issues I had swept under a carpet of wine and cheese. Good therapy, that's a good run. | 105 |
| Pastor Maldonado | You can always improve your fitness if you keep training. | 105 |
| Tomas Berdych | I do a lot of biking. I need that mileage and the long-distance stuff because tennis demands it. My fitness trainer is always trying to convince me to do an Ironman. I can probably run the marathon, I can make the 112 miles on the bike, but I will never swim for 2.4 miles. I will die after 100 meters. | 105 |
| Jonah Lomu | It's been a long road back to health and fitness for me. I am just glad to have been given the opportunity to do what I love most. | 105 |
| Marcia Cross | I don't want to lose my fitness. I'm 45. I have two babies. I've got a long way to go and I want to keep in tiptop shape. There's no magic bullet. | 105 |
| Magnus Scheving | You think aerobics is not a cool sport? I think you are wrong. It requires amazing discipline - flexibility, fitness, knowledge.

I tell you something, I'd rather do that than kick a ball around in front of a few men. | 105 |
| Charles Atlas | 15 minutes a day! Give me just this and I'll prove I can make you a new man. | 105 |
| Andriy Shevchenko | My fitness is good. I hope to improve it even further during training. | 105 |

| John F. Kennedy | Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. | 106 |
| Joan Rivers | The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it. | 106 |
| Josh Billings | There's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it. | 106 |
| Raquel Welch | I think it'd be wonderful if we could train young girls to be active in lots of ways and that they then wouldn't have to age at the same rate that they would if they were not more active. In other words, more physical fitness and not just the sporty kind, but the yoga, which is really important. | 106 |
| William Graham Sumner | A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be, according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulness. | 106 |
| Lee Haney | Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn't formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them. | 106 |
| Ann Oakley | Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive. | 106 |
| Richard Cobden | I have been particularly struck with the overwhelming evidence which is given as to the fitness of the natives of India for high offices and employments. | 106 |
| Sania Mirza | On the tennis court, one needs a cool temperament, tremendous ball sense, reflexes, speed, hand-eye co-ordination, power, timing and peak physical fitness. Off the court, the player and support team need skills in planning, execution, travel, an ability to raise funds when needed, and several other talents. | 106 |
| Stone Gossard | I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem. | 106 |
| Bonnie Langford | I just have to express myself somehow, either through singing, dance or fitness. You get sick of it; you have days where you think you don't want to do it, but generally after I've done something, I feel better. That's why I do the exercise: to earn my bar of chocolate and cappuccino. | 106 |
| Carl Hagelin | For guys who are into fitness, I think it's important to wear slim-fit stuff that is pretty tight so they can show off the bodies they have been working hard to have. Women are going to appreciate that. | 106 |
| Graham Taylor | Shearer could be at 100 per cent fitness, but not peak fitness. | 106 |
| Martha Hunt | Fitness is very important to me because it helps give me a routine when I travel. It gives me one hour of 'me' time and passes the time when I'm lonely. Living with scoliosis serves as a constant reminder to keep my core and back strong. If I get lazy, I feel it in my back first. | 106 |
| Michelle Ryan | When I left EastEnders, I could have earned an absolute fortune from sexy calendars, shoots for lads' mags, fitness videos and reality shows. But I always turned them down. | 106 |
| Mick Cornett | We've got to get people out of their cars, out of those drive-thru windows, get them walking, get them in parks and get them more active. | 106 |
| Jose Rizal | No one ceases to be a man, no one forfeits his rights to civilization merely by being more or less uncultured, and since the Filipino is regarded as a fit citizen when he is asked to pay taxes or shed his blood to defend the fatherland, why must this fitness be denied him when the question arises of granting him some right? | 107 |
| Linda Evangelista | I eat super healthy and I'm super fit. I dabble in every type of fitness. I have a trainer and I go to the gym. I do yoga as well. | 107 |
| LL Cool J | I think fitness is important. I think a healthy lifestyle is important. I think putting positive energy out there is important and just staying connected with the people. | 107 |

| Evelyn Lauder | I keep up with everything in terms of health, fitness, nutrition, skin care, hair, nails. Really, everything. I'm an avid reader of every women's health newsletter from every hospital in the country. | 107 |
| Bill Vaughan | Muscles come and go; flab lasts. | 107 |
| Romain Grosjean | Our regular fitness programme means that the race lasting longer than others should not be a problem, but something you have to prepare for in Singapore is ensuring you always keep well-hydrated, as the heat and humidity can easily dehydrate you. | 107 |
| Aaron Schock | When 'Men's Health' reached out and said, 'Will you be on the 'Today Show' and do a fitness challenge?' I said, 'OK. I'm not showing them anything they don't already know.' But I'm going to take what some would argue is a negative or not substantive and turn it into a substantive thing to hopefully do some good for people. | 107 |
| Bob Harper | When I was first introduced to CrossFit, I found it to be the hardest workout that I'd ever done. It wiped the floor with me, and I fell in love with it immediately. The results that I have seen in my strength and physicality have been unparalleled to any other things I have ever done in my more than 20 years in the fitness business. | 107 |
| Charlie Kimball | Beside the brand-ambassador elements of the modern racing driver, the evolution of the athlete has mandated that as drivers, we are very committed to fitness. | 107 |
| Mary Pierce | I'm healthy now. I probably wouldn't say I'm at my best fitness level and I haven't played that much lately, but I'm healthy and that's all that matters. | 107 |
| Richard Gough | I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness, and it's something I pride myself on. | 107 |
| Courtney Eaton | It is such a great opportunity to be the face of a brand which I remember wearing as a little kid and running around in half-naked. Bonds is now getting very serious about fitness, and their range is amazing. It's beautiful and comfy. | 107 |
| Rafer Johnson | The main thing is that it's nice to see these young people - 9 to 14 years old - take the opportunity to get more involved in their health and fitness. We need more kids to be more active. | 107 |
| Joe Taslim | Doing nothing would stress me out. So I am still pretty much active practicing judo with my friends, who are former judo athletes, to maintain our fitness as well as the friendships among us. In my spare time, I usually go jogging around the Gelora Bung Karno stadium or head to the gym. | 107 |
| Marquis de Sade | Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced. | 108 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Regularity in the hours of rising and retiring, perseverance in exercise, adaptation of dress to the variations of climate, simple and nutritious aliment, and temperance in all things are necessary branches of the regimen of health. | 108 |
| Tara Brach | I decided to write 'True Refuge' during a major dive in my own health. Diagnosed with a genetic disease that affected my mobility, I faced tremendous fear and grief about losing the fitness and physical freedom I loved. | 108 |
| Candice Swanepoel | I feel if I'm healthy and happy, I look good. With a good mixture of fitness and healthy food I always feel great! | 108 |
| Fernando Torres | Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game. | 108 |
| Lou Ferrigno | I have a tremendous passion for fitness, I love challenges and I am a very driven guy. | 108 |
| Charlotte McKinney | I love fitness, yoga. I love fashion. On the weekends, I try to relax. I have pretty crazy weeks. I like spas and nice dinners. I'm not much of a club person. I like to hang on the beach in Malibu. | 108 |
| Richard M. Daley | The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don't make the teams, they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport, discipline, and physical fitness. | 108 |
| Tim DeKay | For a good workout, I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood, where my trainer, Jon Allsop, puts me through it all. I like it because it's a small gym and I've known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I'll lift weights, jump rope, throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop. | 108 |
| Alan Thicke | My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me - it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful. | 108 |
| Mollie King | On my days off, I like to be outdoors - on my bike or walking the dog or swimming - so it's important anyone I date is also into fitness. | 108 |
| Daniel Inouye | Mr. Gonzales' failure to respond to questions legitimately posed to him by the Senate raises grave doubts in my mind as to his fitness to serve the people of the United States as their Attorney General. | 108 |
| Monica Keena | Yoga's an amazing release. | 108 |
| Frank Bruno | I try and maintain a little bit of fitness, man. | 109 |
| Gloria Swanson | Because I take care of my body, it doesn't look like the body of a woman of my years. | 109 |
| Kiana Tom | They both go together; you can't be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round - in a bikini no less. | 109 |
| Lena Headey | I took up boxing as a fitness thing. I got obsessed, and I would go every day when I wasn't working. It's just an insane sport when you get into it. | 109 |
| Viswanathan Anand | I go to the gym every day. That tends to taper off when I'm at a tournament. During tournaments, I'm not trying to build fitness. I'm simply trying to keep away any kind of tension. I go for long walks to clear my head. | 109 |
| Laurieann Gibson | I personally love to run outdoor fitness trails. I love the meditative value I get when out alone, challenging myself to run faster and higher. | 109 |
| David Soul | Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK. | 109 |
| Carrie Ann Inaba | I do a one-hour workout called Drenched, a cardio-boxing fitness routine, Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can, I take two classes back-to-back. | 109 |
| Jenson Button | Resting for me is fitness training. | 109 |
| Andriy Shevchenko | I would like to thank everyone who supported me to be fit for the Euros. I had some fitness problems before the tournament, but I am here now! | 109 |
| Lee Haney | As the proud father of two teens and past Chairman to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, I am committed to educating parents and especially young people on ways to live a long, healthy and active life. | 110 |
| Michael Greger | You can be in excellent physical shape, with low cholesterol, a healthy body weight and good overall physical fitness - but that doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy. | 110 |
| Cobi Jones | Overall, I think I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm not really someone that is gung-ho or a fitness fanatic. | 110 |
| Graeme Le Saux | I've had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise I've been incredibly lucky with my fitness. I've worked hard at it and I've always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36. | 110 |
| Peter Shilton | There are similarities between business and sport, in the pressures involved and in the fitness aspect too. | 110 |
| Sonu Nigam | If you ask me about my success story, the secret is I know when to pull myself back. I don't overexpose myself; I give proper gaps whenever I can. I do not over spend myself, I keep myself busy in lot of activities. I really work hard; I work harder than others, by focussing on my fitness level and studying music. | 110 |
| Rafer Johnson | I also meet with city officials, representatives from governors' offices, really anyone in that sort of position who has shown an interest in youth fitness, to let them know why this sort of program is so important. I give the same message when I speak at conferences. | 110 |
| Franka Potente | I've published one book before, and now I'm writing a book of essays and stories about life in Tokyo. And I have one book coming out in May in Germany, about fitness. | 111 |
| Kathy Freston | What you want is to rev up your metabolism so that you are burning fat and calories, not preserving fat and calories. | 111 |
| Richard C. Armitage | I try to keep at a non-obsessive level of fitness. It's not about looking great, it's about just feeling good. So I do a lot of yoga. Bikram just blows my mind. It's mental as well as physical; if I don't train, I get very depressed. | 111 |
| Marvin Sapp | My church has a health and fitness ministry to encourage our members to take care of spiritually and physically; how could I not? | 111 |
| Genelia D'Souza | I'm an athlete, so I can get up one day and run and it wouldn't bother me. I don't get the time because I work for long hours every day. Being constantly on the move itself helps me stay fit. I don't go to a gym. I use the stairs, not the lift. I'm not into fitness, but I feel I should start, as it's healthy. | 111 |
| Matthew Rhys | I'm 33 now and I seem to have hit a fitness plane. Shifting the wobbly bits isn't as easy as it used to be. | 111 |
| Charles Babbage | The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion, and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person. | 112 |
| Oscar Pistorius | I have run two Olympic 'A' standard times over the past 12 months and with the time I ran at the African Championships last week I know my speed and fitness are constantly improving so that I will peak in time for the Olympics. | 112 |
| Sting | I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while. | 112 |
| Kenneth H. Cooper | Now I say that if you run more than 15 miles a week, it's for something other than aerobic fitness. Once you pass 15 miles, you do not see much further improvement. | 112 |
| Nigel Mansell | Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently, rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with. | 112 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. | 113 |
| Alison Sweeney | We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant, how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I'm always busy, with people at work, with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music. | 113 |
| Arjun Rampal | I believe that fitness needs to come from within you. You need to respect your body. Only then will you have the zeal to maintain it. For me, keeping fit is a part of my lifestyle. | 113 |
| Jamie Bamber | I'm freakishly competitive, so I set a date to achieve a certain weight or fitness. | 113 |
| Gabriel Luna | Football shape is one thing, and then 'futbol' shape is a completely other thing. It's a whole other level of fitness that you have to work to maintain. | 113 |
| Jayne Mansfield | You gotta have a body. | 113 |
| Charles M. Schulz | Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. If makes it feel needed. | 114 |
| Kevin Plank | All we're trying to do is change how people think about fitness. And build Under Armour into the biggest brand in the entire land. | 114 |
| Mike Ditka | Here's what I tell anybody and this is what I believe. The greatest gift we have is the gift of life. We understand that. That comes from our Creator. We're given a body. Now you may not like it, but you can maximize that body the best it can be maximized. | 114 |
| Bill Rancic | My wife and I work out together almost every day. It's just a great way to spend time together. We're going to run a marathon together later this year, and that's one more goal that we'll accomplish as husband and wife. | 114 |
| 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! | 114 |
| Arjun Rampal | I look at fitness as a necessity in the same way as how you drink water, eat food, one should look at fitness in a dedicated way. People will look fresh and happy. If you are happy, you in a way look fit. | 114 |
| Jean-Jacques Rousseau | A feeble body weakens the mind. | 115 |
| Daniel Craig | It's not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts. Also I wanted that, if Bond took his clothes off, he looked like a man who did what he did, which was kill people for a living. I thought the only way to do that was to work out and get fit and buff and get physically into shape. | 115 |
| Nita Ambani | Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people's physical fitness and mental prowess. | 115 |
| Jackie Joyner-Kersee | Even though I'm not a competitive athlete, I have to still maintain things and try to keep myself fit because I am at that age where I need to make sure to get those regular checkups and make sure everything is in tact. | 115 |
| Catherine Bell | When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy. | 115 |
| Jamie Redknapp | I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness. | 115 |
| Stacy London | Don't get hung up on the size. If you feel bad about yourself because a 12 is what fits, take a Sharpie, and write '6' on the label. | 116 |
| Steve Nash | I've spent half my life in gyms, if not more, and I love physical fitness and health; couple that with the fact that I love for people to be healthy, whether it's mentally, physically, or emotionally, and it's just a great opportunity for me to do something I love and have an impact on people's health. | 116 |
| William Ames | The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal. | 116 |
| Cindy Crawford | Obviously, your family life is the priority, but there's still other stuff you have to get done in a day. I think the way I make it work is by taking care of myself, and that includes fitness and eating right and all those things, but also by being very organized and punctual. | 116 |
| Cherie Lunghi | To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness. | 116 |
| Cynthia Erivo | I became a fitness fiend when I was about 17 or 18. | 116 |
| Lance Armstrong | For whatever reason, maybe it's because of my story, but people associate Livestrong with exercise and physical fitness, health and lifestyle choices like that. | 117 |
| Vanessa Hudgens | Exercise is amazing, from the inside out. I feel so alive and have more energy. | 117 |
| Alison Sweeney | I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It's important to mix up your routine, not only for your body, but also for your mental state. | 117 |
| Andre Maurois | The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force. | 117 |
| Dylan Lauren | For a while after college, I was thinking of becoming a fitness trainer, and I am a certified aqua trainer. | 117 |
| Paula Abdul | Find fitness with fun dancing. It is fun and makes you forget about the dreaded exercise. | 117 |
| Suze Orman | No one's ever achieved financial fitness with a January resolution that's abandoned by February. | 118 |
| Viggo Mortensen | Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer. | 118 |
| Alison Sweeney | Fitness is not an option. It's part of my job. | 118 |
| Matt McGorry | I know some people who are like, 'I love fitness,' and I feel like if you have to say that, you're still in the romance stage. I'm in the stage where I've been married to it for 60 years, and I don't think I'll ever get a divorce. | 118 |
| Sonu Nigam | I am concentrating on my fitness levels so that I don't look old. | 118 |
| Joe Rogan | As a longtime practitioner of yoga and a person who's been involved in physical fitness my whole life, I can tell you, yoga helps you achieve altered states of consciousness. It is not just stretching. The only way you can say that it's stretching is if you haven't done it, or that you haven't done it rigorously for a long period of time. | 119 |
| Gabrielle Reece | With both kids, I started working out again at 16 days postpartum, but I treated myself with kindness, doing mild workouts, because my fitness level was lower. | 119 |
| Henry Petroski | Too much redesign has to do more with fad and fashion than with fitness and function. It is change for the sake of change. Such redesign is not only unnecessary, it is all too often also retrogressive, leading to things that work less effectively than those they were designed to replace. | 119 |
| Janet Jackson | There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it? | 119 |
| Chad le Clos | I don't lift weights. I do fitness exercises to stay strong. | 119 |
| Lance Armstrong | Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work. | 120 |
| Daley Thompson | I've still got a small fitness and conditioning business where I travel round the world doing stuff for individuals and corporations, mainly fitness training. | 120 |
| Jackie Joyner-Kersee | Teaching kids about health and fitness is important to me. It's about being fit for life. | 120 |
| Candice Olson | Bathrooms are, on a square foot basis, the most expensive room in the house to renovate. If you want to test your heart's fitness, try shopping for simple bathroom faucets. Add in the cost of the required valves, mixers and trims, and you may need reviving when you see the tally! | 120 |
| Ivan Lendl | People may say I developed an iron will, but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness. | 121 |
| Steven Wright | A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths. | 122 |
| Paul Gascoigne | I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness. | 122 |
| Sonakshi Sinha | I have a pretty active presence on social networking sites, and every day there are messages from so many young girls telling me that they are happy B-Town has curvy women like me. I feel you should be happy the way you are. Of course, fitness is important, but not to the extent of obsession! | 122 |
| Anushka Sharma | Just as you can't blindly follow fashion, you can't follow fitness, either. | 122 |
| Kapil Dev | Virat Kohli has so far shown that he has more ability and talent than anybody else, and if he can play till 32 or 34 with same fitness and without injuries, he will come to a point where not even Vivian Richards neither Sachin Tendulkar had such a record. | 123 |
| Sloane Stephens | I train Monday through Saturday. I usually have fitness training for 90 minutes, then I'm on the tennis court for 3 to 4 hours. | 123 |
| Drew Carey | Oh, and once, when I was in the Marines, I got a perfect score on my physical fitness test. | 124 |
| Rahul Dravid | The bowlers I respected or feared or rated were not the ones who gave me lip or stared at me or abused me. More the ones who, at any stage of the game, when had they had the ball in hand, they were going to be at me, and they were going to have the skill and the fitness and the ability to be aggressive. | 124 |
| Sanjeev Bhaskar | I might do a fitness video. Actually, more of a fatness video. | 124 |
| Richard Simmons | Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness. | 125 |
| Bipasha Basu | When I started out as a model, I took things for granted. Because I bagged work thanks to my looks, I didn't give my body any importance. I was a couch potato who'd eat anything. Then, in 2005, a tabloid ran a story calling me fat. I thought, 'I'm famous. How can I be fat?' It was a slap. I decided to get fit. | 125 |
| Rahul Dravid | If someone thinks, 'I'll spend the off season working on my fitness and I'll come back a better cricketer,' I don't think that's enough. You need to spend a lot of time working on your skills and honing your skills. | 125 |
| Sania Mirza | Fitness is defined differently by everyone, but for me, the most important thing is being healthy. As tennis players, what we do is not the healthiest thing. We almost abuse our bodies. | 125 |
| Alistair Brownlee | It's better to train for 4-5 hours a week than to do ten hours one week then nothing for two weeks. It helps your body adapt and also maintains your fitness. | 125 |
| Jessica Capshaw | I'm very active when I'm not pregnant, but I think fitness should be a natural part of your life, not something you have to force yourself to do. | 125 |
| Daley Thompson | Kids are starting at such a low base rate in terms of fitness that it's taking them years to catch up to where people like me started from. Every little bit is making it more difficult for kids to succeed on a world stage. | 126 |
| Lin Dan | I am pleased with the fitness that I have. | 126 |
| Olivia Newton-John | The only weights I lift are my dogs. | 201 |
| Laurieann Gibson | I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training, so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing. | 201 |
| Robert Kennedy | In my judgment, physical fitness is basic to all forms of excellence and to a strong, confident nation. | 203 |
| Sophia Bush | I'm not a waif-y girl and never will be. I think it's healthy when fitness experts encourage fitness rather than getting a certain body shape. | 203 |
| Jahangir Khan | Fitness of a top-class squash player is very important, and talent only can't do the job. They have to get training regularly for at least eight hours a day so that they could put some good show in a two-hour match. | 203 |
| Willie Nelson | When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too. | 204 |
| Ron Fournier | At the start of his second term, one wonders less about Obama's fitness than his willingness: Why doesn't he do more to build and maintain the relationships required to govern in era of polarization? | 204 |
| Charlotte Dujardin | For most athletes, there's a focus on your own fitness, but I have to rely on my horse, too. I've been very lucky so far, and it hasn't presented a problem, but you can never count on a competition going as planned until you're there and actually doing it. | 205 |
| Alison Sweeney | What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life. | 207 |
| Suzi Quatro | As Mick Jagger will tell you, performing is an aerobic work-out. I've got the bass guitar, which is the heaviest of all the instruments, and I'm a little girl, in boiling-hot leather under the lights. You have to keep the fitness level up if you want to look good up there. | 207 |
| Denis Waitley | Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted. | 208 |
| Martha Stewart | You can be the most beautiful person on Earth, and if you don't have a fitness or diet routine, you won't be beautiful. | 208 |
| Jenson Button | For me, triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now, I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. It's a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone - it makes you feel alive. | 208 |
| Martha Beck | It takes about four days of virtuous living to create a little weight loss. That also happens to be the time required to get used to eating less. In other words, if you can get past day three of a fitness regimen, things improve. | 209 |
| Andy Murray | My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all. | 210 |
| Khloe Kardashian | Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be. | 210 |
| Noah Feldman | To hear both critics and defenders talk about the fitness of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, you'd think the most successful Supreme Court justices had been warm, collegial consensus-builders. But history tells a different story. | 210 |
| Shay Mitchell | With fitness, I do Bikrams hot yoga. The gym that I have in my building is amazing. I love to do cardio and weights there. | 210 |
| Deepika Padukone | People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn't help. One needs support and understanding. I am now working on an initiative to create awareness about anxiety and depression and help people. | 211 |
| Khloe Kardashian | My fitness journey will be a lifelong journey. | 211 |
| Raquel Welch | I am 5 ft 6 in, and at my peak, my vital statistics were 37-22-35. I didn't even think about my weight - but now I work hard at keeping healthy. Fortunately, my husband Richie is as much of a fitness buff as I am. | 211 |
| Tinie Tempah | I think when you come to Australia you immediately get the sense of fitness and taking care of yourself and being healthy, and it really shows. | 211 |
| Jenson Button | I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things. | 211 |
| David Perlmutter | Mental fitness is served by consciously redirecting our attention away from the constant bombardment from the media whose reason to be seems to be focused on keeping us in a state of constant alert. | 212 |
| Ziggy Marley | Fitness has always been one of the top priorities in my life because that's the way I grew up, with soccer being the sport of choice. | 212 |
| Richard C. Armitage | I can work hard and be disciplined like a soldier, but I could never reach their level of fitness. | 214 |
| Lynn Davies | People need to have clear goals about why they are exercising, and they should consult a fitness expert to find out what kind of exercise is suitable. | 217 |
| Gordon Ramsay | I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick. | 220 |
| Bradley Wiggins | When you get into the final week of the Tour de France, it becomes a different kind of race. As the distance and the fatigue really tell, that is when it becomes a proper test of everyone's fitness. | 222 |
| Lauren Conrad | Fitness is a luxury when you are busy! | 223 |
| Paul Hollywood | My own preferred fitness regime is to use my bicycle. | 226 |
| Lady Gaga | I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy. | 301 |
| Jessie J | I never stop working when I'm on stage, and that's my fitness. | 301 |
| Ellie Goulding | I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it. | 304 |
| Kate Hudson | While I try to keep my fitness regimen consistent, during awards season, I'm especially conscious of what I'll be wearing and plan my workouts accordingly. | 305 |
| George Foreman | I tell my sons all the time, 'The most important thing in your life is fitness,' but a lot of fighters go overboard. | 306 |
| Marcia Fudge | Promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging fitness are so important for our children's development and reducing the nation's epidemic of childhood obesity. | 311 |
| Andy Murray | For much of the year, you're just trying to maintain your fitness. It's not often you get a lot of time to really concentrate on improving it. | 314 |
| Eva Green | I'm French, so I'm quite lazy about exercising, and I smoke. But I do love going for a run in the morning with my dog. That's all. | 314 |
| Bryce Dallas Howard | I created a fitness club with five friends. We have weekly check-ins and a reward system - and group penalties if one of us slacks off. | 314 |
| Joan Collins | I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot. | 314 |
| Ashton Eaton | I would say 90 percent of the stuff we do is technical anyway. If you look at a two-hour training day, 12 minutes are probably spent running or gaining fitness. | 315 |
| Erma Bombeck | I've exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars. | 316 |
| Bear Grylls | In the British Special Air Service, combat fitness is all about running. | 316 |
| Lena Dunham | My weight fluctuates depending on my mood and my current devotion to my fitness routine. | 316 |
| Andy Murray | Staying more controlled mentally stemmed from taking my fitness more seriously. When you're doing track work, sprints and so on, it's pretty painful, but that does make you feel better prepared and therefore mentally stronger when you're going into a match. You know, without a doubt, that you are strong enough to last. | 317 |
| Maria Montessori | When the child begins to think and to make use of the written language to express his rudimentary thinking, he is ready for elementary work; and this fitness is a question not of age or other incidental circumstance but of mental maturity. | 317 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning. | 321 |
| Greg Rutherford | People assume that you need to run fast to get to optimum fitness, but the truth is endurance lifting makes you stronger and leaner. | 325 |
| Mahesh Babu | In fitness, there are no short cuts. It involves immense discipline and hard work. | 403 |
| John F. Kennedy | Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security. | 411 |
| Mark Twain | I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any. | 411 |
| Samuel Johnson | Exercise is labor without weariness. | 506 |
| George Bernard Shaw | Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children. | 620 |
