Im a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are. – Alan Thicke
As a father, my first priority is to help my sons set and attain personal goals so they will develop self-confidence and individual strength. Engaging in regular fitness activities with my children helps me fulfill those responsibilities. – Alan Thicke
Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the 90s version of it. Instead of just watching, you can do it together… something we dont spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness. – Alan Thicke
My priority is to turn people – especially kids – on to sports and being active so they dont even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me – it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful. – Alan Thicke
As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. – Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979
