Quotes to ponder:
"Do anything that gets your heart rate up for 30 minutes, whether it’s a power walk, a jog, or an aerobics video in your living room."
"Enjoy exercise for what it is, something that is inherently good for your body, mind, and spirit, and be consistent with it… and watch the magic happen."
"Don’t get caught up in the insane arithmetic of allowing yourself a cookie based on your 30-minute run."
