10 Motivational Quotes To Help You Push Through A Fitness Challenge

Quarantine check in: how’s your motivation these days?

If your motivation has been on the decline as temperatures rise, you probably aren’t alone. It might also be time to try something new. Following and sticking to a fitness and nutrition program can be tough. Community and renewed motivation makes it so it doesn’t have to be.

Perhaps it’s time to try a fitness challenge unlike any others.

Mudder Nation is all about trying new things, challenging yourself, and pushing your own personal best. For that reason, we recently launched Tough Mudder Challenges, a brand new fitness challenge that will inspire and motivate you to physically push yourself, but also to mentally push your boundaries and step outside your comfort zone.

Finding motivation and pushing boundaries daily can be difficult. It’s so easy to hit the snooze alarm before an early morning workout, or pass up an evening workout for a Netflix sesh. Committing to the mindset of, “I can and I will” is the difference between making strides in goals and procrastinating them. Whether you are struggling to stay on track with goals or fighting to find the motivation for a new routine, we find it helps to remind ourselves why we started and look to some of the greats for inspiration.

For that reason, we pulled some of the best motivational quotes we use to inspire ourselves daily and remind ourselves why we do what we do.
