Quote examples
Ryan Fitzpatrick
American Football Player
I've had to work hard my whole life to gain what I have, and that's why I have such a fun time doing those things that nobody likes. Like squatting or hang cleans or getting up in the morning, because I think that I realize in the end what it's going to do for me and what it has done for me in the past.

Quote examples
Larry Fitzgerald
American Athlete
I work legs, upper body, everything. Legs are very important. I do hang cleans and squats - I do primary exercises. Squats work over 60 percent of your muscle mass in your body. The hang cleans work on my explosive movement, which is essential for success.

Quote examples
Sam Darnold
American Athlete
I like squats because they help build that foundation of strength. I do tons of single-leg moves for strength and balance because they let you test your strength in one leg at a time. But even on my leg days, I make sure to fit in some core work.

Quote examples
Jordyn Woods
American Model
Just staying consistent and doing something every day, whether it's walking, jogging, squats, weights at home or going to the gym. I feel like a little bit of something every day is very helpful.

Quote examples
Joe Wright
English Director
When I left college, I though that I would be immediately embraced by the film world and instead found myself sitting in a squat for three years not knowing what to do with my life.

Quote examples
Lily Aldridge
American Model
I always take working out seriously, but before a shoot I do extra sit ups and squats. I also eat more vegetables and drink a ton of water, because it really helps my skin glow.

Quote examples
Andi Dorfman
American Celebrity
I'll do calf raises when I brush my teeth, I always take the stairs, and do squats on commercial breaks if I'm watching TV. It's so easy and it has become my little habit.

Larry Kramer
American Playwright
We're still leaderless. We still don't have strong organizations that are fighting for us; there isn't a national AIDS organization out there worth squat in my opinion.

American Actor
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

Quote examples
Alexander Ovechkin
Russian Athlete
I do a lot of squats, I do a lot of bench pressing. But legs are very important for me. It's more important than arms and shoulders.
