My hubby and I currently resemble two grizzlies – lots of fur (yes, I need to shave my legs) and plenty of belly fat – accumulated during the long winter months. So it’s time to get motivated and work out. To do this, I found some motivating reasons and quotes.
Motivating reasons to exercise:
1. Helps combat depression.
2. Helps you feel confident.
3. Helps you de-stress.
4. Helps you sleep better.
5. Because you’re tired of being tired.
Motivating Fitness Quotes:
“If you don’t do what’s best for your body, you’re the one who comes up on the short end.” – Julius Erving
“Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat”. -Jill Johnson
“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” -Edward Stanley
“When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no ‘I’ll start tomorrow.’ Tomorrow is disease.” -V.L. Allinear
“The difference between someone who is in shape, and someone who is not in shape, is the individual who is in shape works out even when they do not want to.” -Unknown
“Just Do It.” – Nike
I especially like the quote about not finding time for exercise means having to find time for illness.
I don’t go to the gym, pool or whatever but I go for long walks with the dog, my bike is regular transport and I have to look after my horse every day. I think that all counts as a work out, but at least I don’t need any extra time for it.
I like that. I’m not a gym goer either. And yes, I agree… you’re definitely getting a workout with all that!
