    For cross country season, the boys wanted “Runners have balls, other sports just play with them.” I thought it was great, but it really didn’t apply to the girls… Anyway I love all the quotes you posted and the ones that were commented!

    #6!!

  58. Lena says:

    #2 Your Workout is my Warmup.

  59. Joan says:

    I’m going with #3 “LEAN, MEAN, POP PILATES MACHINE.” Using “Blogilates” instead of “Pop Pilates” works too. I like the way it sounds, and how it conveys a clear, kick ass intention.

    I like others too, but (playing devil’s advocate) they could be twisted into other things… For example, I like #2, YOUR WORKOUT IS MY WARMUP, but there’s an air of fitness superiority to it. Like “advanced fitness level is superior to beginners fitness level” sort of thing. (I’m not saying that’s the intention. You know me, again, just playing devil’s advocate.) And I can do the same with some of the other quotes as well… If you are interested in the way I can twist the the meaning into OTHER things (because other people will do just that), let me know. LOL

    I once saw “Train like your stronger fitter evil-twin is plotting to kill you” (http://pinterest.com/pin/132785888983617350/) on Tumblr, and it has always stuck with me because it’s funny and bad ass.

  60. Kylie says:

    im lovein the More Love…Less Handles! so awesome!! AND the Sweat is fat crying! lol cuuute!

  61. Audrey says:

    #2! I do like #4 but it’s too similar to the current POPster mantra, it would be silly to have printed up on tanks.

  62. Elena says:

    #4 is awesome
    “LOOK LIKE A BEAUTY. TRAIN LIKE A BEAST.” – April Jones

  63. Ali Schultz says:

    Train for the body you want; not the one you have

  64. Ali says:

    I always liked the quote “Strong is what happens when you run out of weak.” But out of the ones above I think #4 is my fav!

    1. Brenee says:

      This one is good Ali! I picked #7, then I read your “strong is what happens when you run out of weak.” Equally awesome!

  65. Ali Schultz says:

    Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm

  66. Blair says:

  67. Amadea Amon says:

    Soreness is just a fit girl fighting to get out.

  69. Kelli says:

    #4 an #5

  70. Kerr says:

    #4 tho I have also seen it “sweat like a pig to look like a fox” but pictures replaced the words for pig & fox.

  71. Carrie says:

    #2 and #5 … #2 is definitely the most motivating to me, while #5 could be really cool on a shirt with a big open heart graphic like a couple of your other shirts … or something like that.

  72. Sarah says:

    I like 2 and 4! I can’t make up my mind which one! They are all clever sayings though =)

  127. Henriette says:

    This is my first time commenting here although I’ve been following your blog for a whileeee. I just really wanna say THANK YOU for existing pretty much. I’ve tried many different workouts and sports and have had a hard time finding something that fits me. And then I found your blog and I LOVE your workouts. They’re short, intense, and effective! And doesn’t hurt that you have a great personality either ^^ About that bikini competition – I think you had the best body by far even if you didn’t win. The rest of them were way too overmuscular I think. It just didn’t look natural nor attractive, whereas you did! 🙂
    I’ll try to comment more often and show my appreciation for giving these free, amazing workouts, recipes and tips. You’re great at what you’re doing so don’t stop!
    Best wishes from Sweden

  128. Jayde Seyler says:

    Absolutely love number 4 🙂

  129. Steph says:

    They are all good but my vote is for number 4.

    I also have a couple I’ve seen around, they are a bit long though:

    – I may not be fastest, I may not be the strongest, but I’ll be damned if I’m not trying my hardest
    – Reshape your life one workout at a time
    – The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen
    – Strong is the new skinny (this is my fav I think, it helps me)
    – You can be sore or sorry tomorrow, it’s your choice

  150. Alexandra says:

    4!

  151. Tatjana says:

    I like 2&3! They are funny:)

  152. Katherine says:

    I like 1 and 4 🙂

  153. MG says:

    How about this one:

    “Working out keeps at bay two evils: vice and boredom”
    Nah! the original idea/quote came from Voltaire and I just arranged some words for it to be fit…
    But I also want to suggest another,

    “Working out – your choice, your rules”

    😛

  154. Sarah T says:

  158. Melissa Marco says:

    I like quotes 2 & 4 the best!

  159. Margaux says:

    Definitely #4 !!

  160. stephanie says:

    I love 4, but I would also love a “Strong is the new skinny” quote from pinterest!! I love that it reminds girls to work out to do it for THEMSELVES, and to be powerful, not just a skinny little stick because that’s what society wants. It’s my all time favorite 🙂

    1. Sarah says:

      Agreed!

  161. Lauren says:

    I like #2 best 🙂
    & I can’t think of anything better right now 😉

  164. gina says:

    I LOVE 4&5!!!! if I had to choose one it would be #4

  165. I’m really loving #4 & #5! Also, I like the train insane or remain the same! It has a nice ring to it too 😛

    Some other ones I like (and motivate me) are:
    1. Just do it
    2. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.
    3. If you still look cute at tje end of a workout. YOU DIDN’T TRAIN HARD ENOUGH.

    There was another one that I can’t remember what it said exactly, but it was along the lines of, ‘time wasted thinking about if you should workout, is time you could’ve used to workout’ 🙂
