“Work out because you love your body, not because you hate it”

“Work out because you love your body, not because you hate it” (or “Exercise/Train because you love your body, not because you hate it”) is an exercise saying that has been printed on many images. The saying means that working out is not a punishment, but a way of maintaining and improving on something one loves (one’s body).
 
“Workout hard because you love your body, not because you hate it” was posted on Twitter by dee-mellow on December 11, 2011. “Get fit because you LOVE your body, not because you HATE it” was posted on Twitter by Je on January 13, 2012. “Advice of the day: work out because you love your body not because you hate it” was posted on Twitter by Leslee Peeler on March 1, 2012. Authorship is unknown; the saying possibly originated from an image.
 
“Exercise because you love your body, not because you hate it. You are sacred. Exercise is sacred activity” was posted on Twitter by T. Thorn Coyle on January 10, 2012.
 
“‘Train because you love your body not because you hate it’ - @GirlsGoneSTRONG” was posted on Twitter by Mark Young on July 15, 2012. GirlsGoneSTRONG tweeted this later the same day, as did its co-founder, Jen Comas.
