These 25 motivational quotes are great for those days when you don’t feel like working out. 

There are plenty of distractions and excuses to keep you from exercising. And some days it feels difficult to take that first step. So, what I like to do is workout in the morning so I begin my day proactively. These fitness motivation quotes always give me the positive perspective I need to get moving.

Motivational quotes have been shown to dramatically raise confidence, motivation, and sense of empowerment (source).

Because sometimes a few powerful words are all you need to get into the right mindset to tackle your workout. They can also help you to push through that last set of exercises.

I like to focus on fitness quotes that center around exercise as moving in a way that makes you feel good.

Because exercise has many physical and mental health benefits aside from burning calories and weight loss, like:

  • Increased bone, heart and lung strength
  • Better stress tolerance and improved mood
  • Improved sleep
  • Better memory and executive control
  • Decreased blood pressure & blood sugar
  • Higher self-esteem
  • Reduced risk for chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension and some cancers

and much more!

Thinking of exercise as a way to take care of yourself and plan for the future is such a positive way to view exercise.
