Quotes About Fitness

ALL ANIMALS ARE UNDER STRINGENT SELECTION PRESSURE TO BE AS STUPID AS THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH. —PETE RICHERSON AND ROBERT BOYD
~ Peter Watts
You have a naïve understanding of evolutionary processes. There's no such thing as survival of the fittest. Survival of the most adequate, maybe.
~ Peter Watts
Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing— irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness.
~ Peter Watts
Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don't experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions.

By now you don't experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default. Rorschach does nothing to you that you don't already do to yourselves.

You have a naïve understanding of evolutionary processes. There's no such thing as survival of the fittest. Survival of the most adequate, maybe. It doesn't matter whether a solution's optimal. All that matters is whether it beats the alternatives.

Future-oriented people tend to be more successful professionally and academically, to eat well, to exercise regularly, and to schedule preventive doctor's exams.
~ Philip G. Zimbardo
We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that, you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.
~ Philip Knight
Reducing excess body fat is best accomplished by avoiding junk food and eating healthy foods.
~ Philip Maffetone
Initially, exercising at this relatively low heart rate may be difficult for some people. But after a short time, you will feel better and your pace will quicken at that same heart rate, so you will not be exercising at that relatively slow pace for too long. In other words, you will walk, run, bike and perform all activities at faster paces. This increase in pace (or power) at the same MAF HR is also an important evaluation, called the MAF Test, that measures this progress.
~ Philip Maffetone
You can build your aerobic system with easy exercise, and if you never work out hard, you'll still reap great benefits.
~ Philip Maffetone
All anaerobic training should be preceded by an easy aerobic warm-up and followed by an easy aerobic cooldown. • On the days between anaerobic exercise, perform an easy aerobic workout.
~ Philip Maffetone
For example, if you're presently jogging a mile in 12 minutes at a rate of 140 bpm, after three months of training at this heart rate your pace may quicken to 10 minutes per mile. Even though you'll be jogging, or running, faster, you'll be exercising at the same heart rate and feel almost the same as when you were jogging at the slower pace of 12 minutes per mile.
~ Philip Maffetone
One can be healthy but have poor fitness ; or very fit but unhealthy.
~ Philip Maffetone
An unfortunate but common problem in sports is that athletes are too often fit but unhealthy. The indications include the common incidence of physical, biochemical and mental-emotional injuries. Athletes are often forced out of training and competition due to these conditions, and, sadly, some die at early ages during competition due to health problems.
~ Philip Maffetone
MAF emphasizes the balance of all components of both health and fitness. This begins with the need to improve the aerobic system because it supplies the energy that's essential for all physical, biochemical and mental-emotional health and fitness.
~ Philip Maffetone
Maximizing natural fat-burning is a key focus of MAF, directly improving all areas of health and fitness.
~ Philip Maffetone
An important rule is worth mentioning here again: Have fun in your workouts. They should be enjoyable and invigorating.
~ Philip Maffetone
not only does stretching not "warm" your body and prepare it for exercise, but it can be harmful.
~ Philip Maffetone
