Monday Motivation Quotes

Exercise is a blessing. Not a chore.

I’m sure pretty much all of us have complained about doing a workout at some point in our lives. I love that this quote reminds us how lucky we are to be able to move our bodies and to work on our health.

Exercise shouldn’t feel like a chore. When you find something that you genuinely love doing, it will be so much easier to make exercise a part of your routine.

The best view comes after the hardest climb.

You know those moments during a workout when you could quit or you could push through for just two more minutes? Next time that decision process happens, I want you to remember this quote.

Even if finishing those last two minutes means you have to slow down or take some extra rest, think of how good it will feel when you finish, knowing that you didn’t give up. It feels like an even bigger victory because you didn’t allow yourself to quit.

Make yourself a priority.  

I think often, as women, we can become used to putting everyone else first. We worry about our friends, family, partners, co-workers, pets — the list goes on. 

I’ve often heard people say you need to be ‘selfish’ with your time. While I understand the intention, I don’t want people to associate negative terms or behaviour with their health.

I want you to make your health a priority because that’s how you can ensure you are caring for YOURSELF. Regular exercise has so many benefits for your physical and mental health — so making time for a workout is really important!

You can. End of story.

It might be one of the simplest workout motivation quotes you’ve ever read but it is also really effective. 

It’s really easy to tell yourself that you can’t do something. It can be hard to motivate yourself to try something new — which is where positive self-talk can make a difference. 

Once you convince your mind that you can do something, your body can find a way to accomplish it. So tell yourself you can do it and TRY!
