David Bryan Quotes

Fitness is the most important aspect in this sport. You've got to feel good.

I have good stamina and good endurance.

I take my job as a rock and roll sax player very seriously. To do it the way that I must do it, I must be in good condition. The better shape you're in, the harder you can rock.

The more you run, the faster you get, and that's more efficient because you're running more in less time.

I never stop working when I'm on stage, and that's my fitness.

I would like to be as fit as I've always been. I've been blessed with good health, I've been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles, you need an Olympian stamina. I, fortunately, have that.

You can't enter the Olympics unless you do your routine to get in shape for it. The idea of going out on stage on a tour without having prepped for it would be suicide, literally.

I walk an 11-minute mile without huffing and puffing.

In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.

Before, I could lift 600lbs in squats and all incredible stuff in the gym, but if I walked a couple of miles I'd probably get out of breath.

There's only way to get in game shape. That's to play in games.

I don't need to practise. The only thing I need to do is build up my match fitness.

We run around onstage constantly for about an hour and 45 minutes, and we know what that can do. You just feel great at the end of the night and when you wake up in the morning.

If I feel great and my body feels great and my knee is fine, I should play 30 minutes or more. I definitely have my opinion on that.

Energy is connected to physical fitness. One of the reasons I stayed at the top so long is that I was tremendously fit. At 36, I was fitter than most opponents ten years younger.

LaRon Landry, a safety, is in incredible physical condition - really impressive. Also Anthony Castonzo, the left tackle - I'm very impressed with him. He really sets a great example for how to stay in shape - not only during the off-season but throughout the season, which can be a struggle because of the rhythm of the way things work.

Technically, I've learned that having good legs and wind is good for being on stage. You have to be in shape and have endurance.

The advantage doesn't come because you can run more than someone over 90 minutes. The advantage comes when, in the tenth minute, I'm sprinting back and making another guy chase me. By the end of the game, that guy's worn down, but I can still keep going at the same pace.

I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.

Obviously, it's always a good to be in shape and to be fit.

On the actual competition days, you get about three or four hours of physical exertion - between an hour-long warm-up, recovery in-between runs, the training runs, and then the runs themselves.

I've got lots of stamina; don't worry about that. I cycle every day - it's OK.

When I was in top shape I'd go to the ring and show my conditioning.
