You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
If it weren’t for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.
Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.
I didn’t have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.
I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky.
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.
So I’ve broadened the fitness concept to make it one of moderation and balance.
I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.
A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.

A feeble body weakens the mind.
15 minutes a day! Give me just this and I’ll prove I can make you a new man.
I’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
My bottom is so big it’s got its own gravitational field.
I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.
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.
I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.
I don’t smoke, don’t drink much, and go to the gym five times a week. I live a healthy lifestyle and feel great. I can run a marathon, you know.
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.
Exercise is labor without weariness.
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.
I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.
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?
