Working out & Cortisol, Which exercise method is best? Many conflicting perspectives (often research-backed) exist on the best ways to keep your body healthy.
Do HIIT for cardiovascular health, itās the best thing for your heart
Do LISS, itās best for longevity
Donāt do HIIT if youāre stressed out and already have elevated cortisol, as it will elevate your cortisol more, especially if youāre a woman
Focus on slow flowing movements because itās what our bodies are meant for
Women should lift heavy, itās the best way to build muscle and protect bone density
Women should do exercise like pilates to build long, lean bodies and keep exercise core focused
These are some of the things Iāve heard across various platformsā¦Huberman, Attia, My traditional Chinese Medicine dr, and random coaches that Iāve worked with.
What are your beliefs about staying active? Whose ideas do you subscribe to the most? Whatās your workout routine?
