Motivation in quotation :)

I took some quotes from the website of the place I've done Crossfit this week. Quotes motivate me, sooo I thought I'd share some of my favs with you in the event you're in need of a swift kick of fitness motivation like I am. :)

Via


"Dead last finish is greater than did not finish, which trumps did not start."

"Think training is hard? Try losing."

"Someone busier than you is working out right now."

"Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction."

"The voice in your head that says you can't do it is a lying b!t@h."

"People say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing, that's why we recommend it daily". -Zig Zigler

"Just because you're a nice girl doesn't mean you can't have evil legs!" (This one makes me smile)

"Transformation isn't a future event, it's a present day activity."

"Never throw in the towel. Use it to wipe off the sweat. Then keep going."

(via Pinterest) Carrie's legs motivate me, too. Or maybe they just make me hate her. Jury's out on that one. ;)

I like the "someone busier than you is working out right now." When I want to stop running at the gym I usually look around and focus on others who are older/less in shape than me and think- they're still going-- so I need to keep going!!!

Love these. I think my favorite one is "no matter how slow you go you're still lapping everyone on the couch"

Love this! I always look at the fitness portion of Pinterest before a workout to pump me up!

i love the "someone busier than you is working out right now" SO GOOD!! reminds me of when i'm doing my "biggest loser" workout dvds (which are awesome...really similar to crossfit philosophy) and i see the real contestants up there doing it with me - who LOOK significantly less healthy than i. so, when i think to myself "i want to slow down - i need a break" and then i notice that THEY'RE doing the hard version of the exercise, i think "if SHE can do it, i BETTER!"

LOVE the Zig Zigler quote! I will be telling myself that one for sure.

Love this post! I think I need to save all these quotes to read whenever I need some motivation... aka every day. Thanks!

Great quotes...and Carrie's leg always make me want to run about 10 more miles. :)

I can hardly stand looking at her legs, cause I start seething with jealousy! They're perfect. I've had problems with workout motivation this year . . . I don't know why I'm in such a slump! I should really just force myself to do it and get in the habit again. There's been so much going on that I've lost focus. Good for you for staying on top of it!

Some of these definitely need to be added to my mantras while at the gym!
