Health and Fitness Quotes

    “The method for health promotion is based on water, as flowing water never grows stale. The idea is not to overdevelop or to overexert, but to normalize the function of the body.”

    Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 82)

      “Everyone wants to know: What should a workout actually consist of? And first of all—let me say this: the most important thing to do is SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Walk. Jog. Calisthenics. Swim. Lift some weights. Hike. Stretch. Do burpees. Play a game of basketball or go get on the jiu-jitsu mat. Some people aren’t sure what to do for a workout—but that is often just an excuse. Exercise doesn’t need to be some complex, multi-level, multi-dimensional, scientifically proven methodology. But it does need to be SOMETHING.”

      Jocko Willink, Discipline Equals Freedom (Page 161)

        Book Overview: Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals–but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimize performance.

        Post(s) Inspired by this Book:

          “Your entire life happens inside your body. It’s the one home you will always occupy and can never sell. But you can renovate it. If you can only pick one habit to build, exercise might be the one. Everything is downstream from how your body is functioning.”

          James Clear, Blog

            “As we begin to make progress in our lives, we’ll encounter the limitations of the people around us. It’s like a diet. When everyone is eating unhealthy, there is a kind of natural alignment. But if one person starts eating healthy, suddenly there are opposing agendas. Now there’s an argument about where to go for dinner. Just as you must not abandon your new path simply because other people may have a problem with it, you must not abandon those other folks either. Don’t simply write them off or leave them in the dust. Don’t get mad or fight with them. After all, they’re at the same place you were not long ago.”

            Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 214)

              “The difficulty is to learn to perceive with your whole body, not with just your eyes and reason. The world becomes a stream of tremendously rapid, unique events. So you must trim your body to make it a good receptor. The body is an awareness; and it must be treated impeccably.”

              Carlos Castaneda, via Sunbeams (Page 95)

                “Good for the body is the work of the body, and good for the soul is the work of the soul, and good for either is the work of the other.”

                Henry David Thoreau, Sunbeams (Page 41)

                Save Yourself. Because Even The Best Doctors, Teachers, Gurus, Mentors, and Trainers Can’t

                  Save Yourself.

                  Excerpt: Inspired by a quote from Naval Ravikant, this post is about taking responsibility for your own life and depending less on others to do the “saving” for you. Doctors won’t make you healthy. Teachers won’t make you smart. Mentors won’t make you rich. It’s all up to YOU. Save yourself.
