Avoid Chronic Cardio

Especially avoid lots of cardio without much resistance training because it may elevate cortisol; runners, especially marathon runners, were cited as tending to have higher cortisol levels.

1 / 1

“One of the mediators that I think is important, especially for people who do what I call chronic cardio... is cortisol. So we know that runners, especially marathon runners, people who do a lot of cardio and don't do much resistance training, they tend to have much high cortisol levels.”
