I have identified some highly effective motivational words for the aspiring and inspired fit.

I narrowed down the seemingly endless stream of inspirational quotes in circulation to deliver a focused list of 10 motivational words uttered by some notable sources. I consistently turn to quotes to stay focused on my healthy lifestyle, get over a hump, or even get started.

Read them once, copy your favorites down on a post-it, or write them in lipstick on your mirror for a daily reminder.

Embrace inspiration anywhere you can find it. Use every excuse to eat well and stay active. If that happens to come in the form of the written word, embrace and run with it. I’m a quotable quote junkie. These are some of my favorites. Feel free to comment with yours.
