"I am not qualified to talk about the diet. Simply because I am not a dietician." ― Mark Spitz Topic(s): Food More From Mark Spitz "In my day, at 12 years old, which was 38 years ago, we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours, two hours in the morning and two at night." "The pool is terrible, but that doesn’t have much to do with my record swims. That’s all mental attitude." "I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win."

When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go."― Anne Burrell "People want to think that staying in shape costs a lot of money. They couldn’t be more wrong. It doesn’t cost anything to walk. And it’s probably a lot cheaper to go to the corner store and buy vegetables than take a family out for fast food."― Florence Griffith Joyner
