“I tell people that the scales lie. You may have played basketball and weighed 175 pounds, with a 30-inch waist, back when you were in college. And you may still weigh 175 at 55. But you probably have a 35-inch waist and you've probably lost 30 or 40 pounds of muscle -- and gained 30 or 40 pounds of fat. The tape measure doesn't lie. Get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. Keep checking it. And keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.” PeopleMayStillsLyingLostCuttingCollegeExerciseBasketballScalesFatsHipsMusclesPoundsPrimeInchesTapeBack WhenCalories Author:Jack LaLanne

“I guess the way I describe it is when basketball players talk about being in the zone and they feel like they can't miss. That's the way a running back feels when the game is in slow-motion. It feels like every cut is right, every run is going to be at least 10 yards. You see what the defense is doing. You know what they're trying to do to you. It's awesome.” KnowsWayFeelsTryingRunningGamesCuttingPlayerMissingBasketballDefenseNflZoneYardsDoing YouBasketball PlayerSlow MotionRunning Back Author:LaDainian Tomlinson
