I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They’ve seen me come home from so many runs and asked, ‘What’s on your skin?

I do have to take care of myself, not only because I’m in the movies, just for mental health reasons. I exercise for me. You know, maybe it would be nice to not have to do that in order to feel good, but I do. I feel like I have to, to feel good. To clear my head and all of that, so.
I play tennis five hours a week, from Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. I like to be fit. If I can’t exercise, I feel bad – I need to sweat and run to feel like I’m in good shape.

The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
When I go to my health club, and it’s in the basement, you have to take the elevator down. And this drives me crazy. Why can’t there be a stairway? At least make it as easy to exercise as it is to not exercise. It’s in society’s interest for me to take the stairs.
I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.

It’s hard for me to talk about Dom right now because I am Dom right now. So it’s a really strange exercise to try to reflect on something that I am at the moment. But I guarantee you that when I’m done with the movie and you ask me that question, I’ll be able to give you something insightful.

At home, I’ll do the circuit training with old weights, along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.
I suggest Substituting Inedible Nurturance, or SIN. Don’t replace overeating with virtuous work or exercise; instead, make a list of things you love, from watching TV to hanging out with favorite people.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
