There are several benefits to performing zone 2 cardio.
Zone 2 Cardio,Your body’s ability to burn fat for fuel is diminished.
There is disagreement about whether or not cardio is beneficial to one’s health and fitness levels.
You can get lean without it, particularly if you are young.
The new Visual Impact Fat Loss Boost Diet programme is fantastic.
ageing… is the problem.
Your body becomes less efficient at using body fat for fuel.
Your body can become better at burning fat if you do Zone 2 cardio, a specific level of cardiovascular exercise.
Zone 2 training, a form of low-intensity cardio, was the topic of a long interview with Iñigo San Millán, a world renowned expert in the field.
Really great info, but really technical.
I’ll simplify this information in a quick blog post, interspersed with fun tunes (to make the world a more cheerful place).
What kind of music do you like best?
An outstanding set of mid-1980s New Wave dance tunes.
Here are the latest discoveries in cardiovascular research.
When you want to burn fat, it must be converted to fatty acids before being burned in your mitochondria.
Your ageing may adversely affect mitochondrial function.
Poor mitochondria function is one of the factors that cause prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Endurance athletes are the opposite of this.
Those who are part of the elite endurance-racing circuit have the highest mitochondrial density, and thus the greatest ability to burn fat.
You don’t have to train like an endurance athlete.
Fast walking is the Zone 2 cardio intensity level and it will get the job done.
This isn’t slow walking.
Zone 1 is that area.
A burn in your thighs isn’t created by a fast bike ride.
That’s where Zone 3 is.
There are six different training zones according to Dr. Iñigo San Millán.
Your strong Type 2 muscle fibers remain unaffected while burning fat and improving mitochondrial function in Zone 2 training.
Strength gains won’t be hindered by this.
In addition to Zone 1 training, Dr. Iñigo recommends 30-minute Zone 2 training sessions three times a week for most people.
More than this can be done.
Any type of cardio machine can be used with this routine.
Obviously, you can just walk outside.
Attempt to complete three one-hour sessions of cardio at a Zone 2 “fast walk intensity” level in order to get in three hours of cardio per week.
It is my favourite thing to do, walking on the sand.
I want more beach in my life!
Chris Lopez and I co-authored the kettlebell course. He resides right next to the beach in Costa Rica.
I am totally jealous of Chris’s location.
It’s cool that Visual Impact Kettlebells’ videos are all filmed on the beach in his remote surfing village.
There are obviously health and fat loss benefits to HIIT and more intense cardio workouts.
Having zone 2 cardio be nice?
It will not interfere with other workouts.
Try to add Zone 2 cardio for three hours each week to your resistance training sessions.
A simple bike ride or fast walk, for example, can provide the same benefits.
Without doing much cardio, many young people maintain a lean body.
Aging can cause mitochondria to function poorly.
You can correct this using zone 2 training.
Zone 2 training isn’t just about burning calories or fat, Dr. Iñigo says. It improves your body’s fuel partitioning.
A person who has type 2 diabetes or prediabetes uses glucose as fuel, when the body should be burning fat for energy.
Their mitochondria are not functioning properly.
This problem can be addressed through Zone 2 training.
Higher intensity training is also good for aerobic fitness and fat loss, according to Dr. Iñigo.
People often quit workout programs if they are too intense, in his opinion:
“It is dangerous to start an exercise program if you have not exercised in a long time. Many people quit because the programs are too difficult for them or because they injure them. We see from our data that 50% of people quit from gyms in a certain amount of time.”
I offer a comprehensive lesson on mastering cardio for fat loss.
I recommend doing my cardio program just once or twice a year in addition to resistance training.
Your body will become more efficient at burning fat.
Throughout the year, I suggest some type of resistance training, a bit of HIIT, and Zone 2 training.
Attempt to make Zone 2 cardio of 3 hours of “fast walking” levels constant each week.
Doing zone 2 cardio will improve your current workout.
Whether you train with resistance bands, free weights, bodyweight HIIT, or kettlebells, it doesn’t matter.
Including Zone 2 cardio into your routine will make you leaner and healthier.
