“I'd like to look like Madonna when I'm her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I've always wanted to be muscly, not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around, but I'm always aware if I'm getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum.” IfsLooksI CanBodyAgeWantedBitsGoes OnShapesAnd LoveAthleteScalesSkinny Author:Ellie Goulding
“Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on.” PeopleMatterHappensPainLastsFallThreeGrowsChallengesFiveFourMinutesGoes OnAreasWake UpNo Matter WhatAthleteChampionMusclesGutsDividesNo FearFive MinutesKill MeHave No FearFaintingGreat BodybuildingPassing Out Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“I do identify with Olympic athletes quite a lot because they have to push to reach a certain plateau and some of them go on and some of them give up and some art - you know, some people are very talented in art and do a few amazing things and then give it up and go on and do other things, and others are in it for the long haul, more or less long-distance runners.” PeopleKnowsGivingLongArtCertainGoes OnGiving UpDistanceAthleteRunnersAmazing ThingsLong DistanceHaulDistance RunnerLong HaulOlympic Athlete Author:Lawrence Jordan
“Nowadays, we have to deal with so many more factors that weren't there in the past. It's not enough to be a good rider, if you want to finish at the front. The riders have become incredible athletes. In the past, you could manage the race and fight only on the last laps. Now you need to train hard. You cannot allow yourself to go on track without being at 100 percent.” IfsWantNeedsHardEnoughLastsPastFightingDealsRaceFrontsGoes OnPercentTrainIncrediblesAthleteTrackFactorsManageLapRidersTrain Hard Author:Valentino Rossi
