"Creating that discipline early on will give you that flexibility and the freedom that you're looking for that you were able to enjoy as a young person." - Lauren Laux
"If you're brand into the gym, the newbie gains are real. So, if you are just starting something off, or if you've taken some time off, don't sleep during those first three months. Work really hard, work your ass off, and get your diet dialed in." - Lauren Laux
