Nutrition Nugget: Cozy Cardio

Published 8 hours ago

Description

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about cozy cardio, the viral trend of trading intense workouts for pajama-clad walks, candlelit stretching, and low-key movement paired with your favorite show or drink. It sounds too easy to work, so does swapping intensity for comfort really move the needle on your health, or is it just a trendy excuse to skip the hard stuff? Jenn breaks down the biochemistry behind why gentler movement might do more for your cortisol, consistency, and long-term results than you'd expect. Still, she also flags a few situations where leaning on cozy cardio alone could work against you. Is this the missing piece your routine has been needing, or a trend best kept in moderation? Jenn shares her honest take. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?
