Top 25 Fitness Motivational Quotes

By Chris Freytag, Fitness Expert for Prevention Magazine &ACE Board Member

I am addicted to motivational words and phrases. I have themon my laptop screen saver and on my iPhone. I wear anecklace that says “Live Life Well”. I have bracelets with coinssaying “Believe, Sweat, and Inspire”. I get energy from words. Iglance at them, read them, repeat them and they channel mythoughts in a positive way. It’s a great way to keep you motivated with your fitnessprogram. It can be as simple as putting the word or phrase on a post-it note on yourcomputer or bathroom mirror – somewhere you will see it every day.
