Quotes to ponder:

"Cardio is no longer something I do just to burn calories, and it’s not punishment for overeating."

"Doing something because you know it’ll allow you to do the things that are important to you, better or with more confidence, it’ll suck significantly less."

"It’s not what you do that matters; it’s that you do something, consistently."
