The Science of Cycling, Cortisol, and Body Fat

Ever wondered why cycling seems to make you hold onto more fat than walking? In this episode, Anthony Walsh takes a science-backed look at how endurance exercise like cycling affects cortisol levels and, consequently, your body composition. Tune in to discover what cortisol is, its role in the body, and how it changes with different forms of exercise.
