Quotes to ponder:
"Working out also causes the body to produce serotonin, a natural anti-depressant (this is where the “runners’ high” comes from)."
"Many great thinkers have commented about how repetitive tasks help them to come up with their best ideas (Einstein included), so what better time to come up with your next breakthrough?"
"Progress in the gym is all about pressing through that last set, or running for those extra five minutes, which is the perfect analogy for succeeding in business."
