Spoiler alert, I’m finishing up Beachbody’s 9 Week Control Freak “Off the Wall” workout program. As always, Autumn Calabrese is motivating throughout every workout, so I scribbled her quotes as quickly as I could when I had a chance.
In the Off the Wall version of 9 Week Control Freak, there are 3 weeks of workouts that you do 3 times each, so I had a few chances to capture the quotes that really spoke to me. TBH, because of these quotes, some workouts started to feel like therapy. (Read my review of 9 Week Control Freak Off the Wall »)
There is so much negativity in the world and stress in daily life that I thought you might appreciate some of these motivating quotes as well, especially since many of these aren’t specific to exercise.
Thank you, Autumn, for helping me to start each day with positivity and motivation.
Note: these are quotes that Autumn Calabrese said during these Off the Wall workouts. Some of these might be actually attributed to someone else. And, I scribbled these down quickly so my apologies if they are not 100% exact.
