Monique Rana - Motivational Quotes for the FITpath

I’m a true believer for planning ahead when it comes to your exercise sessions. For me, they’re non-negotiable and I put them into my planner 6 months ahead. Of course there are times when the body is too tired to exercise, that’s when I do some active rest like a light walk. However, there are times too where that voice inside your head is saying” it’s too early to get up for a run, or this beds too warm to get out of, or tomorrow’s another day.”

This is when I have a few mantras or quotes in my head ready to blast that voice.

I’ve listed a few from the well-known people, few of my own to knock out that voice.
