If I don't work out, I lose weight instead of gaining it.
Pilates introduced me to muscles I never even knew I had. Soon I started to feel longer and leaner. Ten years of Pilates has really changed my body for the better.
I think I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll - I get back pain!
I did more weight training for Dimitrenko - we saw the big difference in sparring: everything felt stronger; it felt like the movement was much better. We were able to execute the plan in the Dimitrenko fight.
Golf is a funny game. It's done much for health, and at the same time has ruined people by robbing them of their peace of mind. Look at me, I'm the healthiest idiot in the world.
I see guys who are in the gym all the time, but their bodies are not a reflection of that. They look the same from year to year, and that has to do with the fact that they're not evaluating the effect of their efforts.
Researchers can measure what kind of angles your legs take up during the day when they're just trailing around behind you in weightless conditions, and what kind of impacts you feel during your exercise. They're going to compare that with what we do on the ground.
If I eat junk food and have a workout the next day, I feel a significant difference in the way my body responds to exercise. I'm sluggish, tired and run out of energy very quickly.
I cannot tell you how long it takes for your exercise to work. If you haven't seen any results in a year or six months you're doing something wrong.
The choices you make each day in your diet and lifestyle have a direct influence on how your genetic predisposition is expressed - for better and for worse. You're only as old as your genes, but how your genes are expressed may be modified by exercise, diet and lifestyle choices much more than had previously been believed - and more quickly.
If you're genetically predisposed to having bigger, more muscular legs, spinning is definitely going to accentuate that, for sure.
I'm not against working out. It's just not effective for weight loss. I like strength training to tone and firm the body so you look tight. But working out just makes you hungrier.
The workouts have positively impacted the astronauts' bones and muscles, and they are coming back in really good shape. But some are losing bone and muscle but not as much as we saw in the early days.
Have you ever felt worse after a run?
Any workout which does not involve a certain minimum of danger or responsibility does not improve the body - it just wears it out.
When I don't exercise in the morning, it's a completely different day than when I do.
For most normal people, deadlifts stretch your hamstrings, but in my case, it tightened them, because I was already very flexible.
