Save these workout quotes for next time you need exercise motivation
If there’s one thing I know in life, it’s that “work it, make it, do it, mix it, harder, better, faster, stronger” may be the only words that can get me to do another squat rep (tysm for the fitspo banger, Kanye).
But if Stronger hasn’t been your jam since 2007, there’s a whole side of social media dedicated to hyping you up for a workout when you have zero motivation.
And accessing this side of the internet is actually easy-peasy. It starts with following body-positive activists, curating a solid workout playlist, and then reading through a bunch of inspiring workout quotes, which pretty much all exist on platforms like Instagram.
So to help you on your journey from sofa to vinyasa queen, here’s a list of the best workout quotes to motivate you.
