I like motivational quotes. I also know that they aren’t for everyone. For those who aren’t interested in getting jacked up off of motivational quote, I’d suggest reaching for a Bang energy drink or Reign (which is like going over to the Dark Side). For those who can read something and have it light a fire in their belly, I have some of the best fitness quotes around. Enjoy!
