You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

In my opinion, the power of the mind in sport is vital. If you can overpower those physical risks mentally, you can get your body round it physically. I've made my body do things because of my mind that it shouldn't have been able to do.

The mind is the most important part of achieving any fitness goal. Mental change always comes before physical change.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

You can always improve your fitness if you keep training.

In my judgment, physical fitness is basic to all forms of excellence and to a strong, confident nation.

Being physically fit helps me think better and feel better. I only have this one body. I want to make the most impact that I can; taking care of my body helps me help others. That's a big reason why I do it.

Even if you're ill, physical activity at a lower level will help you beat it.
