Exercise is labor without weariness.

Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity.

We are under exercised as a nation. We look instead of play. We ride instead of walk. Our existence deprives us of the minimum of physical activity essential for healthy living.

Other exercises develop single powers and muscles, but dancing embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very fast.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy you don't need it. If you are sick you shouldn't take it.

Exercise: you don't have time not to.

Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.

I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.
