Spoken by Muhammad Ali, the iconic world heavyweight champion, this quote doubles down on the fact that the fundamentals of mindset are more important than any gym workout.
There is no Magic Pill.
Uttered by the bodybuilding champion himself, Armand Schwarzenegger, this quote is important since it reinforces the truth: you have to feel the pain to build big. Don’t skimp, don’t use steroids, and stick with it through the burn to get real results.
You need to make good health a hobby.

Half-reps may build your ego, but they also build half a physique.
Professional bodybuilding trainer and author Craig Cecil brings it home with the lesson that we are not our egos. Every fitness journey is a deeply personal pursuit, and while the results are eventually seen on the outside, the true strength is built in our dedication to ourselves.
Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.
According to Sylvester Stallone, it’s totally okay to fail from time to time. In fact, that might be a prerequisite for ultimate success, so don’t let your temporary tumbles keep you lying on the ground.
You can’t go through life obsessing about what might have been.
Hugh Jackman's important quote reminds us never to look back on our lives with regrets. If you didn't reach your physical peak when you're 18, no worries; hit your physical peak today and don't sweat the mistakes of the past or the missed opportunities.
For all the fluff and lip-service that exists in the workout quote realm, there’s one message that rings true for all of these champions: Hard work and persistence is always rewarded.
Challenging your physical and mental limits can often present new speed bumps on your journey, but overcoming them with your will and determination will always result in success.
Stay strong, warrior, and keep your head in the game!
