What do you say to yourself when you get a craving or don't want to exercise?
Just wondering what others say to themselves when they get a craving or don't want to exercise? I say if I keep giving in to my cravings I will just get heavier and heavier. With exercise I say my heart needs me to exercise. Anyone one else have some helpful short and sharp phrases to stay on track?

Hi, Im new here and need some help/opinions.
I recently (about a month more or less) started a new “kind” of training. More weight less cardio. For the last couple of years I’ve been obsessed with my cardio, the more the better.
