Feel the Burn Thursday

Hellooooo :)  How are you ladies all doing?  So the name of the game with workouts in my opinion is perseverance.  How many times have we all started workout regimes, they only last a week, and then you peter out?!  It takes your body six weeks to begin to develop a good habit, so we're never giving our body the CHANCE it deserves if we don't stick to something for at least six weeks.  Give it a try with this 10 in 6 challenge.  Our bodies are so amazing.  They can do so much.  They are more powerful and able to endure and succeed than we give them credit for.  Don't take for granted the gift of our bodies.  Here are some fun perseverance quotes that I found- think of them in light of how our fitness journeys are marathons not sprints:

• "I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature." -John D. Rockefeller.
• "Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves." -Dale Carnegie
• "Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain." -Author Unknown
• "The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground." -Author Unknown
• "Fall seven times, stand up eight." -Japanese Proverb
• "He conquers who endures." -Persius
• "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." -Albert Einstein
• "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." -G.B. Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession, 1893
• "The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling." -Lucretius
• "If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking." -Buddhist Saying
• "Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down." -Charles F. Kettering
• "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
• "With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable." -Thomas Foxwell Buxton
• "Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second." -William James
• "Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." -Earl Nightingale
• "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." -William Feather
• "Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before." -Jacob A. Riis
• "Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries." -John Albert Michener
• “How long should you try? Until.” -Jim Rohn
• “Energy and persistence conquer all things.” -Benjamin Franklin
• “Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other” -Walter Elliott

What workouts have you been doing this week and what do you have planned for this weekend?  Every little bit helps, even just fitting in an extra minute or two of moving around during your usual day.
