In this insightful podcast episode, Chris dives into the world of Zone 2 training and why it's increasingly important for healthy aging and effective workouts. She emphasizes the significance of working out smarter, not harder, and how understanding heart rate zones can help enhance workout efficiency.

Zone 2 cardio, characterized by 70-80% of maximum heart rate, uses oxygen and fat stores as primary energy sources. By understanding these zones, individuals can optimize their workouts for better gains, longevity, and overall health, especially as they age. Don't end of in the 'garbage zone' of Zone 3 as it's been referred to. This is a waste of your time and effort.

Find out why elite athletes spend 80% of their time in Zone 2 cardio training!
