The Most Inspiraring Fitness Quotes
Simple phrases can serve as powerful tools for the individual to get on with the day’s tasks.
Having some great ones on hand can channel one’s positive thoughts and keep him or her as
highly motivated as possible. Keeping a few in a place where you can see them and definitely
motivate you prior to going in for your daily training session. Below are ten of my personal
favourite quotes. Hopefully, they might be of help to you!
Fitness Quote #1
‘Anyone who says that full squats are ‘bad for the knees’ has, with that statement,
demonstrated conclusively that they are not entitled to an opinion about the matter. People
who know nothing about a topic, especially a very technical one that requires specific training,
knowledge, and experience, are not due an opinion about that topic and are better served by
being quiet when it is asked about or discussed. For example, when brain surgery, or string
theory, of the NFL draft, or women’s dress size, or white wine is being discussed, I remain quiet,
odd though that may seem. But seldom is this the case when orthopaedic surgeons, athletic
trainers, physical therapists, or nurses are asked about full squats.’
– Mark Rippetoe
Fitness Quote #2
‘You’re gonna have to go through hell, worse than any nightmare you’ve ever dreamed. But
when it’s over, I know you’ll be the one standing. You know what you have to do. Do it!’
– Duke (Tony Burton), Rocky IV
Fitness Quote #3
‘To feel strong, to walk amongst humans with a tremendous feeling of confidence and
superiority is not at all wrong. The sense of superiority in bodily strength is borne out by the long
history of mankind paying homage in folklore, song and poetry to strong men.’
