Your body releases a natural endorphin when you're fighting. You don't feel pain.
None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we're just not designed for.
A lot of wear and tear on my body. I've been blessed not to have too many surgeries.
Our schedule is intense. We do this for five nights a week, so injuries can happen very easily with the demands of the job. It's just the nature of what we do and sports in general.
When I run in the morning, my body spends the first 20 minutes trying to figure out what's happening to it.
You spend some time raising a child in London, carrying it around on one side of your body - it puts your back out!
No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago. Our bodies are designed to have a certain amount of physical stress and violence in them. We're designed to run from jaguars and fight to defend our territory.
Yes, it is not all about training hard. If you do too many sets and too much volume overall, your body is just going to be spending all its time trying to recover and not overcompensating because it doesn't have enough resources for that.
My body is a little bit sore from all of the practicing and playing and training
These big jumps take a big toll on the body, especially a young body. So, it's kind of risk or reward, I guess.
If we carry on filling up the calendar, we keep on pushing the athlete, we shorten the athletes longevity. The risk is to shorten a career that could have lasted 10 years because the athlete is burnt out.
I wouldn’t be without my regular schedule of chiropractic adjustments because of my very strenuous schedule.
Normal pain is no problem, that just comes with the job.
I've always known that sporting people frequently suffer from joint problems because of the repeated strain they put on their bodies to get to the top. But somehow I never thought it would happen to me.
To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 200mph, the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes, and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.
That Monaco crash was quite a big one - I pulled 33g when I hit the wall, which is a lot. It's a weird sensation - like all my skin and flesh was being pulled off my bones.
For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.
Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.
Injuries are a huge thing for skating. I think skating is a very unnatural sport for the body, very tough on the joints.
Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.
All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout, go to a yoga class or pilates class, or get in some strength and conditioning.
Stress happens. In different ways, we all hold unnecessary tension in our bodies all day long. Shoulders, neck, wrists, hips, hamstrings, back, oh my!
There's no doubt about it; playing football and how tough it is on the body afterwards.
If I was doing 'The Hunt' constantly, I would get very old, very fast.
The game takes a toll on your body.
