Gunnar Peterson Quotes

If I have a jump rope and a resistance band, I can work out anywhere. Even without a jump rope. If you do 200 jumping jacks, then drop and do some crunches, and then do some squats, you're good.

Sit-ups and push-ups work without a gym.

In terms of working out, I'm in the gym, maximum, twice a week, but for a pretty intense period of time: two or two and a half hours nonstop. Most of the exercises are body weight. We're talking pull-ups, chin-ups, decline rows, elevated push-ups.

I love doing air squats or jump squats, push-ups, jumping jacks, burpees, crunches - all the basic stuff, but it's all you need to do to keep it toned.

Working your core always, your foot speed, jumping rope, push-ups and sit-ups - things like that are really important. Those things will pay off more than just doing what a bench press will.

My system uses no apparatus. The resistance of your own body is the best and safest apparatus.

I lift weights. I'll do a lot of running, a lot of cardio and strengthening. I use my body weight, a TRX sometimes. A lot of it is endurance.

I can't always get to the gym, but I make a gym wherever I am: on the floor or on a yoga mat with bodyweight-bearing exercises like sit-ups and crunches, push-ups, lunges, squats.

I like to mix cardio with bodyweight exercises.

I do a lot of free weights in the gym, with lots of squats, lunges and push-pull exercises to help develop strength and power.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

I'm always aware of trying to put my body in different positions to test it and strengthen muscles that you don't get when you do dumbbell press or pulls or weight-type exercises.

I generally circuit train and do Pilates.

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.

I was probably 12 or 13 when I started doing pushups, situps, dips.

I've got this old-school workout - push-ups, sit-ups, tricep dips. And it worked. Anybody can do this at home.

Everybody always asks me, 'How much can you bench?' I'm like, 'I don't know. I don't lift weights.' Now that I'm in college, we lift weights every once in a while, but not maxing out. We do things with a weight vest on... That surprises people, too, how strong you can get by just basically lifting your body all the time.

I hate doing Tabatas - you do whatever you want at high intensity for 20 seconds, and then get a 10 second break and you repeat that for 8 minutes. So you can do jumping jacks for 20 seconds, you can do sprints for 20 seconds, etc. It's supposed to help you get your endurance up really fast.

I hate leg exercises. I hate one-legged squats. I hate the hurdles and the split squats. I hate all the leg exercises. I know they help me, and I'm able to move around and don't have knee problems, and my hip doesn't hurt anymore, but when my trainer tells me I have to do them, I almost feel like my body goes into convulsions.

I train, for me, very smartly. I don't train heavy, I do a lot of isometrics.

I do all core-based alignment training and strength training. If I don't die at the end of 90 minutes, then it hasn't been a good workout.

I do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups. And I do the Canadian Air Force exercises almost every day.

Often, I'll do a quick workout in my hotel room consisting of exercises for the legs, glutes, abs, and arms with my own body weight. Also, I always have a jump rope, a medicine ball I can inflate, and a band in my suitcase. It's a great kit to have for travel.
