Quotes to ponder:

"It’s incredibly motivating to have your gym at home too. There are no excuses about not wanting to go out or not having time."

"If a few pounds of steel is all you need to stay fit, why do our indebted countrymen spend $20 billion annually to accomplish the same thing in more complicated ways like Yoga, bouncy aerobics and indoor bicycling classes?"

"Every person on the entire planet who still has control over their arms and/or legs should be lifting weights regularly - no question about it."
