87 Funny Fitness Quotes: Laughter Burns Calories Too

I always say that going to the gym should be fun and funny fitness quotes can help you with that big time. Dr. Ernie Medina says that fun is the most important ingredient in fitness.

There are many ways to get motivated but nothing makes things as easy as a dose of humor can.

If a workout is fun, you’re more likely to find more reasons to do it and fewer excuses not to. Maybe the problem with people who are trying to lose weight and get fit is: that they treat fitness too seriously.

I can tell you that having fun while doing the workout is not a sin. Quite the contrary, it distracts you from the pain and takes your mind off tiredness and straining exercises.

We all face obstacles in pursuing our goals, whether they are personal or professional. But if we confront them with a light sense of humor life gets much easier.

This is why I have looked for some funny fitness quotes to show you that fitness can be fun. Perhaps quotes will help you loosen things up a bit for you. Maybe they will even invigorate your spirit, stir up your motivation and keep you on the  »funny«  track.

I believe that your fitness should be social. Therefore, find the exercise you love, mingle, and have fun. And next time when you hit the gym keep in mind that comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
