The mind is the most important part of achieving any fitness goal. Mental change always comes before physical change.

The same voice that says ‘give up’ can also be trained to say ‘keep going’.

The difference between try and triumph is a little ‘umph.

Don’t train to be skinny. Train to be a badass.

What hurts today makes you stronger tomorrow.

Success is what comes after your stop making excuses.

The harder you work and the more prepared you are for something, you’re going to be able to persevere through anything.

Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.

The clock is ticking. Are you becoming the person you want to be?

Put all excuses aside and remember this: You are capable.

Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.

The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it

Exercise is labor without weariness.

Don’t give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

A year from now you may wish you had started today.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.
