Fitness Dad Quotes From The World Of BodybuildingWhile not all dads want to look like a bodybuilder, we can all respect the standards of discipline and dedication that bodybuilding requires. This is true in varying degrees for any level of body transformation. The commitment to highly regimented meal plans and brutal training sessions pays off, as some of the best in the world will confirm. #1. The last three or four reps... Arnold encouraged us all to do the hard work that was necessary for growth and greatness. "The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. There is no magic pill."

Your health account... Jack LaLanne made an analogy between health and wealth. "Your health account, your bank account, they're the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out. Exercise is king, and nutrition is queen. Together you have a kingdom." Jack LaLanne was known as the Godfather of Fitness, and he understood that you couldn't spend more than you'd saved. He advocated making regular payments into your bank of health. Fitness Dad Quotes From The World Of Competitive Sports Taking ownership over your goals and understanding that no one can give you success except yourself is a common theme from these incredibly successful fitness dads. #4. I have nothing in common... "I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance.

Drew Brees, the Quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and Super Bowl MVP from 2010, stressed the importance of pushing past what you think you're capable of. He understood that the victory is won first in the mind long before it's won on the Grid Iron (and must be won in mind over and over again). "You have to push past your perceived limits, push past that point you thought was as far as you can go." #8. Some people want it to happen... "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." There was never any doubt about which camp Michael Jordan fell into as a 6-time NBA Championship winner with the Chicago Bulls. He was named the most valuable player in the Finals all 6 times. #9.

Wayne Gretzky, a 4-time winner of the Stanley Cup and champion Canadian Ice Hockey player, stated: "You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take." This willingness to take a chance, have a go, and be willing to make a mistake is often missing among people that are reluctant to look silly. But being prepared to have a crack is the start of being the greatest. #12. It's hard to beat a person... Major League Baseball player Babe Ruth once said: "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."

I was never a natural athlete... Chuck Norris, the martial artist and movie star, said: "I was never a natural athlete, but I paid my dues in sweat and concentration and took the time necessary to learn karate and became a world champion." Hard to imagine THE Chuck Norris didn't consider himself a natural! There's hope for us all yet.
