Quotes to ponder:

"It’s common to think that cardio automatically equals fat loss, but it’s not the case at all."

"You don’t have to use cardio to burn extra calories which will lead to fat loss."

"Cardio is ONLY a tool. Some people lose fat only weight training 3-6 times per week and managing their diet."
