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.
I am concentrating on my fitness levels so that I don’t look old.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I try to come at fitness and nutrition from a perspective of gentleness and what will make me feel good afterwards. I try to stay out of the mindset of needing to fix myself. I do whatever seems fun to me.
I tell my sons all the time, ‘The most important thing in your life is fitness,’ but a lot of fighters go overboard.
I might do a fitness video. Actually, more of a fatness video.
Just as you can’t blindly follow fashion, you can’t follow fitness, either.
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.
My church has a health and fitness ministry to encourage our members to take care of spiritually and physically; how could I not?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dance never really goes away; it just reforms and reinvents, and it’s become more athletic with new connection to fitness and sport. Dance used to have this exclusivity, but not any more.
One of my assets is my fitness. My fitness around the net and my movement: that’s my defense to the power.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
