I didn't mind basic training. It taught me that something that seems impossible at the start can be achieved.

If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.

The difference between those who adapted and those who didn't, Gorton said, was a willingness to totally commit.

From the bodybuilding days on, I learned
that everything is reps and mileage. The more miles you ski, the better a skier you become; the more reps you do, the better your body.

Your limits are somewhere up there, waiting for you to reach beyond infinity.

It's easier to stay in shape if you never let yourself get out of shape in the first place.
