Making it through your workout (or let’s be honest, even making it to the gym to do your workout) can be tough, especially at the end of the year. When you’re juggling travel and family time, and those delicious holiday treats just keep calling your name, it can seem near impossible to stay committed to your fitness regimen.
Never fear, because The Rock has got your back. Next time you feel like you can’t get through that last set of burpees, imagine Dwayne Johnson’s voice, loud and proud and firing you up to finish through — and even to pump out a few extra reps for good measure, too.
These are the best motivational quotes from The Rock you can come back to, again and again, to push you through those moments of weakness during any tough workout session.

Finish your week strong. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. And after the man leaves the arena, he will then pour fine tequila ? on his oatmeal and brown sugar because he’s also kinda f*cking crazy and finds that concoction delicious. Excerpt from one of my favorite speeches from one of my favorite Presidents. I may or may not have made up the last sentence.. ??? it’s conjecture at this point. #ManInTheArena #Roosevelt26 #DareGreatly #AndGetToWork
