I have a motivational quote of the day posted in my office at work..sometimes funny, insightful, some just for sh*ts and giggles. I would love some new stuff...here's a few i've already used.



"Some men are born strong… others are made. Progressive overload is your friend”

“Tears will get you sympathy, but sweat will get you results”

“If you don’t seek strength, then you are weak in every possible way”

“You can’t push yourself forward by patting your own a**…”

“Don’t tell me you’ve tried your best unless your body gives up before you mind!”

“How do you plan on winning, when I simply refuse to lose?”

“If people are talking behind your back, it’s only because you’re ahead of them”

“I push people past their comfort zone to see if they’ll crumble or not. Either way, I get to see what they’re made of”

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

“You either get good at accomplishments or you get good at making excuses.”

“If you really wanted to lose weight, nothing will stop you. Not the fast food, the donuts, the rain outside, the soreness in your muscles. You obviously don’t want it bad enough yet. Keep sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, because right now that’s all you want to do. Just don’t expect any sympathy here.”

“Your body is like a bank account. You cannot continue to draw on it without making quality deposits” –

“Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going”

“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going”

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination”

“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.”

“Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but they’re really not. They’re companions – the hero and the sidekick.”

    "There is no such thing as “firming and toning.” There is only stronger and weaker."

    "Women who claim to be afraid to train hard because they “always bulk up too much” are often already pretty bulky, or “skinny fat” (thin but weak and deconditioned) and have found another excuse to continue life sitting on their butts."

    "well behaved wemon rarely make history"

    "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning"

    I like to keep my fitness ones simple

    If you do the things today that others won't do, you will be able to do the things tomorrow that others can't do.

    Them that can, do it. Them that can't talk about it.

    The only workouts you regret are the ones you don't do.
