My All-Time Favorite Quotes from the Legendary Jack LaLanne

  • “I can’t die. I would ruin my image.”
  • “Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Put them together and you have a kingdom.”
  • “By exercise, I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot and I do watch television. But I also work out for 2-hours every day of my life, even when I’m on the road.”
  • “I do it as therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.”
  • “The only way to get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.”
  • “Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.”
  • “People don’t die of old age. They die of neglect.”
  • “The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.”
  • “You’ve got to exercise. Your health account, your bank account, they’re the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out.”
  • “Your waistline is your lifeline.”
  • “Better to wear out than to rust out.”
  • “If you’ve got a big gut and you start doing sit-ups, you are going to get bigger because you build up the muscle. You’ve got to get rid of the fat. How do you get rid of the fat? By changing your diet.”
  • “If it tastes good, spit it out.”
  • “If man made it, don’t eat it.”
  • “Everything you do in life, I don’t care, good or bad, don’t blame God, don’t blame the devil, don’t blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you!”

It was once said that when Jack LaLanne died, he would carry his own casket at his funeral.
