“Let age be your motivator, not your excuse.”

Peter Attia
“I think healthy user bias is also the single biggest confounder in the exercise epideminology literature.
Healthy people tend to do more exercise in part because they are healthy.”
Peter Attia MD

“One of the most remarkable aspects of awe is its ability to help us feel more connected to others.
Find a place where you can be alone and then use the A.W.E. Method while thinking of a person who has been most dear to you in your life. They may be living or passed away.
Take time to create a clear picture of that person, maybe a particular memory or scene that captures their essence.
Hold the image in your mind, give it your full attention.
Wait the length of a full inhalation or maybe more than one, while you take time to appreciate this person. Imagine looking into their eyes.
Consider what they mean to you, what you learned from them or how you grew as a result of knowing them.
We can be in the moment while remembering. While you remember and feel, just remember and feel.
Then, when you're ready, exhale fully and allow yourself a moment of awe.”
Jake Eagle LPC, The Power of Awe: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose―In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day

“Vital sign 2: breathe easy (page 52-53)

How well you breathe has a direct correlation to your body mechanics, helping you move more efficiently, avoid injury, and feel less musculoskeletal pain. In fact, when people come to us with persistent back and neck aches, the first thing we look at is how they're breathing.”

“In exercise, to grow better, focus on one set of muscles.”
Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma, Rep By Rep

“Okay, three lessons for all of us: One, if you're an old girl, don't go into a new sport or training activity at full bore. Let your muscles get used to it, even if you're in decent shape. Two, do some cross-training as a regular part of your routine, so you'll have some range and flexibility. Three, when you pop that kedging anchor into the ocean, let go before it hits the water or it will pull you to the bottom.”
Chris Cowley & Henry S. Lodge, MD

“Dull repetition is the rust of sacred verses; lack of repair is the rust of houses; want of healthy exercise is the rust of beauty; unwatchfulness is the rust of the watcher.”
The Buddha, The Dhammapada

“Show business and politics, being run by practical, cigar-smoking businessmen, manufacture personalities on an assembly line. Baseball, fighting for its life, has been stifling them as fast as they appear.
What makes it so sad is that the athlete has a role in our society that reaches even beyond showmanship. The athlete is one of the last symbols of that superfluity of our society, the physical man. The average man finds that although the instincts of his primitive forebears may beat a tomtom in his blood, his own daily conflict has been reduced to the drive downtown, the paper work in the office, the return trip. The conflict is undefined, the enemy is indistinct, the battle remains permanently unsettled. He doesn't really know whether he has won or lost; there is only the vague feeling that he is somehow losing.”
Bill Veeck, The Hustler's Handbook

Robin Sharma
“If you don't make time for exercise, you will probably have to make time for illness.”
Robin S. Sharma

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“The exercise of faith is to risk moving beyond the logic of men and in doing so realizing that the real risk would have been not to move.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Paul Uponi
“Nobody received creatine through the placenta; nobody was breastfed whey protein; you can always work out and become stronger than you currently are.”
Paul Uponi, Muscular Christianity: A Case for Spiritual and Physical Fitness

Daniel E. Lieberman
“The mantra of this book is that nothing about the biology of exercise makes sense except in the light of evolution, and nothing about exercise as a behavior makes sense except in the light of anthropology.”
Daniel E. Lieberman, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding

Daniel E. Lieberman
“The resulting paradox is that our bodies never evolved to function optimally without lifelong physical activity, but our minds never evolved to get us moving, unless it is necessary, pleasurable or otherwise rewarding. The plank is down in the post-industrial world and we struggle to replace physical activity with exercise an optional and often disagreeable behaviour. Despite being badgered to exercise by doctors, trainers, gym, teachers and others we often avoid it.”
Daniel E. Lieberman, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding

“Humans went from experiential and physical beings to conceptual ones, and one could surmise that in the future we will become even more brainy still. The changes in sedentary lifestyle alone are staggering. Dietary changes might have led to a diabetes since there may be different levels of pancreatic reserve. The explosion of carbohydrate intake that moderns indulge in may surpass the limit of the pancreas to endure, resulting in either childhood diabetes or later onset type 2 diabetes. We must be careful not to outsmart ourselves and in vanquishing the predators that plagues us for millions of years to create new ones. Having moved from chaos to order, we need to appreciate order’s value, to protect and enhance it. Any slide into chaos may well be swift and irreversible.”

“A healthy love life is as necessary to a person’s well-being as nutritious food, exercise, or clean water.”

Valentine Glass
“The burn of my muscles felt like relief, as though I could purge the tension within me through microscopic tearing,”
Valentine Glass, Jarring Sex

Valentine Glass
“It was not the pain itself I craved but something I refused to articulate even to myself, whose true nature I feared to know. It sufficed, leaving me sweating, spent, and fractionally closer to being strong.”
Valentine Glass, Jarring Sex

“So, you’re a beginner in meditation? Awesome! Welcome to the calm club. Think of meditation as a mental workout—no sweat, just serenity. Find your comfy spot, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. When your thoughts wander (and they will), gently steer them back like herding cats on caffeine. Keep at it, and you’ll be zenning out like a guru in no time. Remember, even the Dalai Lama started somewhere. So, stick with it, and enjoy your journey to becoming a meditation maestro!”
Life is Positive

“Staying healthy is like playing the long game in Monopoly. You've got to make those strategic moves now if you want to build those fancy hotels on Park Place later. So, instead of Boardwalk, think salad bowl. Swap out those late-night snacks for some shut-eye, hydrate like you're a plant on the verge of wilting, and get those steps in like you're auditioning for 'Dancing with the Stars.' And hey, if all else fails, remember: laughter is the best medicine. Stay healthy, stay happy!”
Life is Positive

S.  Venugopal
“He no longer squints in abject confusion at the name of an exercise on his training sheet and does not look at the weighted bar I give him as though waiting for it to issue his marching orders. His body flows from one stance to the next instead of battering the mat or squeaking across the floor. He does not conclude an abdominal exercise and then remark that his neck feels overused.”
S. Venugopal, Body Traitor's History

Wendy Shillam
“A long and happy life stems from being content about the past, optimistic for the future and engaged in the present.”

Master Del Pe
“We must not stress ourselves too much over a singular factor like exercise or special diets. We must work out our karmic tribulations and crises that are brought from our past mistakes.”
Master Del Pe, Higher Science of Longevity

Jack Freestone
“The way I see it there are three ways to maintain yourself in the present moment: Firstly, you can meditate. Secondly, you can exercise. Meditation makes people want to exercise, that is why I listed it as number one. Thirdly, and this will probably cause a lot of disagreement, is to drink alcohol. My explanation for this is based upon experience with all three. If you do not mediate or exercise and you do not drink alcohol, then it has been my experience that over time you start to slip away from the present moment, and weaken mentally. Drinking will bring you back to it temporarily. That is why people say they need a good “blowout”, they need to reset. But of course, drinking can be a dangerous addiction and cause you to do unreasonable acts, plus damage your body.”
Jack Freestone

“Vital sign 1: getting up and down the floor (page 40)

When we talk about sitting on the floor, we're not just referring to sitting cross-legged. You can get benefits from sitting in all different kinds of positions. Kneeling, for instance. And, squatting, something we'll talk more about in Vital Sign 7. These are all positions that allow you to organize your body in ways that lessen the force on the spine and enable you to breathe fully. There's a reason that cross-legged sitting and kneeling are the postures of choice for meditation, the former most especially.”
