I have a good giveaway for you guys today!
One of my freelance social media clients is Kristi Molinaro, the founder of 30/60/90, a high-intensity interval class. Her class at Equinox is one of my favorite classes in the city (my review from the first time I tried it) because it’s so intense. It’s 45-minutes of weights and plyometric moves broken up into 30-, 60- and 90-second intervals. I’m not a huge sweat-er, but I always walk out drenched in sweat. I plan on completely recommitting to this class after the marathon to get all my other muscles that I don’t use running back into shape.
Although the class is currently only in New York, Kristi does have a DVD–and she’s given me three copies of the DVD and three of her adorable 30-60-90 t-shirts to give away!
I don’t have a photo of the shirt right now, but it says “Every second counts.” Another mantra I’ve heard from Kristi is “you can do anything for 30 seconds.”

I always tell myself “pain is strength”, or something along those lines. I love to picture my muscle tissue tearing and scarring. Yuck, I know.
@Carina: yuck, indeed 🙂
Also, I liked it on Facebook!
I have to admit, I tend to really love all the Les Mills Body____ mantras/slogans. One of my favorites is “Fitness is a battle: Welcome to the front line.”
Makes me feel like Jordan, warrior princess.
I always remind myself that I always feel better after a workout 🙂
I tweeted about the giveaway
As a variation on Kristi, when trying to hold a pace while running I often say to myself, “you can do anything for one mile.”
I always sing the “just keep swimmin'” song by Dori in Finding Nemo. Has a nice rhythm/beat for me, too.
facebook liked and twitter followed.
To be really honest: having 2 children and going through natural deliveries with them I tell myself, “You can do anything for a time frame because you know its only _____ minutes left!” It always gets me through those intense times! 🙂 I do not have a twitter account but I will definitely like it on facebook! Thanks for the chance to win a new workout dvd!
I would love to try out this DVD! One of my favorites is “no one every said this was going to be easy” from a Jillian Michaels workout.
I always tell myself “you never regret a workout” as a reminder that end result is worth it!
My fave mantra.. is “they are only legs!” My spin instructor always yells it out when she knows we are getting tired.. Reminds me that legs heal even if they hurt at that second.
I have 2 mantra’s I love!
It’s painful to be beautiful.
Inaction breeds fear and doubt. Action breeds confidence!
@Christina: I love those! I think my old trainer used something like the second one–it sounds awfully familiar 🙂
My mantra is “Dig deep and finish strong.”

When I’m running and getting tired I will repeat to myself, “just keep running” from the movie Nemo (except in the movie it’s “just keep swimming”).

I would love to try this! My mantra is always from my time playing sports (pretty much all through college): ‘you got this’. Simple, yet effective.
“Pain is weakness leaving the body” Gets me through my long runs!
I always think of one that I read on C&C from Tina, “You never regret a workout.” Plus I remind myself that I get to have coffee and breakfast when I’m done. 🙂
When im really tired during a workout and just want to quit I always tell myself “remember how good it feels to finish”
“Anything is possible” is what gets me through tough times, both in life and in fitness. It was my go-to mantra when I trained for my first full marathon.
I also liked 30/60/90 on Facebook. 🙂
favorite mantra – “HTFU”!!!!!!!
Great giveaway! I always repeat “You can do this!” however simple that may be… it usually works!
The mantra I keep repeating to myself is, “let it happen, let it happen…”
While I’m running I always think “you won’t regret doing this later”
My fav mantra – You’re almost done.
my mantra – just keep going, finish strong.

My favorite mantra: I can do anything for 30 seconds. And then that 30 seconds passes, and I tell myself again!

Just about to tweet to! @CaitPlusAte
My workout mantra is “you are so much stronger than you think”
I tell myself, “No pain, no gain” when i am having a tough time getting through a workout!
I don’t have an especific mantra to work out to -but I do always get through the wall in the same way: I recount the foods I splurged on the previous day 🙂 so the beginning of my motivational head chorus is always different! But I do always end it with “now, work it off!” so I guess that can pass for a mantra… Half-mantra?
I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and I LOVE eating, so rationalizing that I get to indulge (within measure [mostly]) as long as I know I will run/bike/swim/etc. it off really helps me stay centered and no succumb to guilt later 🙂

My mantra? I can endure one moment longer. It always keeps me going, even when my feet are at their heaviest.
I try to remind myself how much better I always feel after a workout. If that doesn’t work, “no pain, no gain” has always done the trick!
Tweeted and followed! http://twitter.com/#!/valarierose/status/128506517237399552
No pain, no gain is always a favorite. I heard a new one recently that I’ve started to incorporate into the random thoughts that pop into my head during a run…”One day you will not be able to do this. Today is NOT that day!”
my favorite workout mantra is: “go big or go home” it applies to life in general as well
so cheesy – but ‘just do it!’
(or, ‘almost done!’)
My fav mantra is simple-without pain there is no gain
My current mantra is usually some variation of me repeating my goal weight over and over in my head or something like that!
Just followed on Twitter!

My favorite mantra is “I can do all things through Him that strengthens me!”
Just tweeted the giveaway link! (little_dynamite)
One of my favorite exercise mantras is: “If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’re going to keep looking how you’ve been looking.” I recently gained some weight back after losing 60 pounds. Part of the reason is because I slacked off of my workouts. I want to be happy with my body, so I know that I need to get moving to shed those pounds. 🙂
i like to quote the other dori with “just keep running”… followed on fb as well
I tweeted! Also, my favorite mantra would be something out of the ordinary, but … “just one more…think about your butt in those new jeans!” I like to remind myself of how great I will look after working out or how much better I will feel, both physically and mentally.
I just followed on Facebook as well!
btw – I am also following them on twitter and I tweeted them. 🙂 (ya think I want this bad enough?)
No pain, no gain!
I *like* them on FB!
I always tell myself to just get through it and I will be happy when im done!
One mantra that I always use, and I know it’s around the blog world but it works so well: I never regret a workout!

Favorite workout mantra – I actually love what you posted the other day: “There will be one day I won’t be able to do this, and today is not that day.” I have been thinking that during workouts lately!
Great giveaway- I have really been getting into at-home DVDs, so this would be a nice addition to my arsenal!
My mantra when I don’t feel motivated is, ‘you never regret a workout’
“I’m so much stronger than I think”
I just tell myself, “you’ll feel so good when you finish!” Which is true 🙂
I liked it on Facebook!
I always tell myself, “You’ve done harder things than this.” And when it’s hills, the ol’ “what goes up must come down” is a favorite. Well, the downhills are a favorite!
It’s good to see someone tkhining it through.

my mantra is “never sacrifice what you want in the long-term for what you want in the short term”. thank you! great giveaway!

…and I also followed 30/60/90 on twitter!
I workout early in the mornings, so on days when I find it really hard to get out of bed I tell myself “I’ve never regretted a workout.” That (almost) always gets me up because it’s so true 🙂
When I feel like I can’t go on I tell myself, “you’re not going to die.” hahaha. Following on Twitter.
It will be worth it tomorrow.
You can do it…you can do it…you can do it… till I am at the end of whatever I was trying to complete. And you know what??? Usually I can do it. LOL
This isn’t exactly a mantra but while training for my first half marathon I would convince myself to keep going by telling myself “you can’t just stop during the race… you have to get those 13.1 miles done somehow”
I tell myself “This is better than not being able to do it”.

This may be the silliest thing ever, but as a “newbie” to working out, I often find myself chanting in my head, “I think I can, I think I can…” like the Little Engine That Could. haha!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!!

That workout looks awesome- I’m a big fan of high intensity. My favorite mantra is the good ol’ fashioned, “pain is temporary”. It works! (most of the time)
I’m now following 30/60/90
And I retweeted the giveaway!
My favorite mantra is: you can do anything for 2 minutes!!! usually, intense activity isn’t sustained for more than that. and it’s SO true!
I also followed 30/60/90 on twitter!
I usually think something along the lines of “you can do anything for five minutes!” or “you have less time left than an episode of say yes to the dress!” though my favorite is “you’re doing better than anyone sitting on the couch.”
also, I tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/janieliz19/status/128585322727608321
sweat is my fat crying!
i tell myself, its gonna hurt so suck it up!
I use “Impossible is Nothing” from the old Adidas ads- keeps me moving!
I usually end up telling myself “it will feel awesome when its over”
My go-to mantra is “you are strong”.
My mantra is “my body is ah-mazing”…It’s from “Birth”. Having had 3 kids it’s a reminder of what I’m capable of and it keeps me positive. If I can push out 3 kids I most certainly should be able to run a few miles.
I became a fan!
Not so much a mantra – but I listen to a lot of Bruce while I run, and as cliche as it is, listening to “Born to Run” at the end of a run is a great way to finish strong 🙂
I’m a fan of “Pain is temporary, pride is forever.” I’m pretty sure I’ll be repeating it over and over again at the end of my 1st marathon!
Following on twitter
I always tell myself “You are stronger than you think.” I don’t know if that’s really true, but it helps when I’m struggling through a spin class.
“Define yourself” has always been a tried and true favorite mantra. By the way, I discovered your site when you guest posted for Beth. Love it!
Whenever I’m at the end of a crazy long run or of I’m struggling a lot, I’ll say to myself, if this were easy everyone would be doing it…helps g
Whenever I’m at the end of a crazy long run or of I’m struggling a lot, I’ll say to myself, if this were easy everyone would be doing it…helps give me confidence/perspective 🙂
I tweeted about the giveaway too!
I usually say, “you got this” or “go”. Such simple words but they work for me.
I actually count to 100 when I need a push. I tell myself I can do anything for 100 seconds!
And I’ve become a fan of 30/60/90 on Facebook!
My Mantra is always “It’s not enough to show up to the gym, you gotta work while you’re here!” This always helps me to not get lazy during a spin class or let the speed on the treadmill go too low. Otherwise, what does your “hour” workout mean??

I don’t really have a tough workout mantra other than telling myself to just do it. I think the closest I would get to a motivational mantra is “SÃ se puede!” (yes, you can).
I liked 30/60/90 on FB.
Hmm… Even when I’m running or biking and not doing a dvd, I still hear Jillian Michaels’ voice in my head — from her dvds — saying “Don’t phone it in!” and “Think about WHY you’re doing working out and all the things you want for yourself” hahaha 🙂
I just became a fan of 30/60/90 on Facebook. I think if I don’t win, this might be a great DVD to add to my rotation, as some of my workouts are getting stale. 🙂
I always tell myself that a workout isn’t worth it if I don’t push myself to the next level. This sounds like quite the challenge!
I always thinking of Dory from Finding Nemo– “Just keep swimming!”
My mantra is an oldie but a goodie “no pain no gain”

I thought I posted yesterday, but I didn’t see it just now…
I’m a big Kanye West fan when I’m working out, so what I find myself saying over to myself again and again is “Jesus Walks, I run…” It just causes me to smile, laugh and push myself through!
It’s funny, “you can do anything for a minute” is actually my mantra. It’s either that, or “look, that tree is so close, you can run to that tree!” then I pick another landmark.
My fave mantra is “Mind over matter.” I’ve been injured, so it reminds me that mental toughness trumps physical injuries.
Slogans never work for me unfortunately! 🙁

My favorite thought- “Running gives you freedom. When you run, you can go at your own speed. You can go where you want to go and think your own thoughts. Nobody has any claim on you.” Nina Kuscik, marathoner
This is really funny..thank you for sharing I am not using slogan..
