A healthy diet works wonders, but exercise takes health to another level. Exercise sculpts your body like never before. There’s a popular quote: “Abs are made in the kitchen”. That’s true, but a great body is also made in the gym.

But it’s going to be hard. You know this, I know this, we know this. That’s why exercise motivation quotes are crucial. It’s easy to skip a workout session, but it’s hard seeing an unfit body in the mirror. It’s easy to put in the bare minimum at the gym, but it’s hard knowing you could have done so much more. It’s easy to choose sleep over exercise, but it’s hard covering up at the beach every summer.

What will next summer be like if you start exercising today? Use these exercise motivation quotes to start getting fit.
