Get Off That Couch
Sportset

Working out is one of the toughest things to do. There are always a million other things you could be doing instead: sleeping, eating, studying, eating, sleeping- in that order. But a very important aspect of life is taking care of our bodies, because we only get one. And thus, working out is kinda a requirement for life. Here are 14 quotes to get you off the couch and moving:

1. "Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction."

2. "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

3. "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

4. "There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs."

5. "You only fail when you stop trying."

6. "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you."

7. "If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up."

8. "A year from now you will wish you had started today."

9. "Suffer the pain of discipline or the suffer the pain of regret."

10. "Be stronger than your strongest excuse."

11. "Suck it up now so you don't have to suck it in later."

12. "The body achieves what the mind believes."

13. "Don't quit. You're already in pain. You already hurt. Get a reward from it."

14. "It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for your friends and family. It takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Keep going!"

You'll always have some excuse to not go and get active. In reality, however, it doesn't take that much to put in just one hour a day. Most people do even less than that. No matter how little you do, get out there and do something.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

That relationship was real."
