Episode 2619:

Running and cycling are both fantastic forms of aerobic exercise with unique benefits for cardiovascular health, calorie burn, muscle building, toning, and weight loss. Whether you prefer the high-impact calorie burn of running or the lower-impact endurance of cycling, choose the one that best fits your lifestyle and goals for a sustainable and enjoyable fitness routine.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/cycling-vs-running

Quotes to ponder:

"Running burns more calories than cycling because it uses more muscles."

"Your muscles and bones will get stronger from use and the impact of hitting the ground."

"Neither cycling nor running stands out as a far better option than the other. Pick whichever one fits your lifestyle to ensure you’ll enjoy it and stick with it."
