Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents." Translation by Sharon Lebell

Epictetus

My training? I don't do weights. It's hard to believe, but I don't do weights.

Adama Traore

I'm a competitive bodybuilder; I'm not training just to be healthy. Ninety-five percent of the people training with weights are into this health thing, and it's a different mentality entirely.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I run in the morning, lift weights in the afternoon, basketball training at night, and then lift weights again at night.

Romeo Miller

I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn't enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, playing sports such as tennis, cycling, swimming and running 10 km once a week.

Arjun Rampal

My favorite outdoor activities are running, yoga, and functional training. My favorite indoor workouts are Pilates, kickboxing, functional training, and a lot of different exercises at the gym with and without weights - including TRX.

Izabel Goulart

When you start to treat the light weights like heavy weights, the heavy weights will go up a lot easier.

Ed Coan

In those days, I did what was necessary for me to win. This included training with heavy weights: a precursor for injury. So if I could do it over again I’d train with lighter weights, higher reps, no sets below 10 reps, with negatives slower than positives, and avoid injury. If I had done that, my physique wouldn’t have been quite as bulky, but with more definition and with less pain.

Frank Zane

The old time strongmen used to lift huge weights just enough to clear a sheet of paperit is in this tradition that Sri Chinmoy's lifts should be seen. His real goal is to bring attention to the spiritual life , which is the real source of his power. For someone who is approaching 70 years of age, training every day with such ponderous weights to inspire humanity is the real world record.

Frank Zane

Besides controlling my diet, I did functional training, weights, pilates and cardio everyday.

Daisy Shah

The key to building massive, powerful muscles is to doggedly increase the training weights you use.

Lee Haney

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

Deborah Bull

I guess with myself, I was probably the first woman to lift weights and do circuit training and to run the sand hills.

Margaret Court

I never did cross training or lifted weights or put anything between myself and my passion for running.

Gerry Lindgren

I've changed up my training over the years; I don't lift weights as much as I used to, so I'm built for the cardio now.

Derek Brunson

I exercise about 40 minutes a day, and I'll run one day and do circuit training the next day. I live in an area where there are brilliant hills and mountains, so I get a good hill run with my dog. At home, I'll do the circuit training with old weights, along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.
