Zone 2 Training Revisited – Bionicoldguy

There is a good article in Alex Hutchinson’s “Sweat Science” newsletter (which you can subscribe Here) In zone 2 cardiovascular training. I have discussed This in the past and my preferred training method is to spend most of the time in Zone 2 and to publish two shorter sessions with higher intensity sessions per week. In his book about longevity SurviveDr. Peter Attia recommends Zone 2 Training for Healthy Aging. This is based on the work of Dr. Imagine St. MillanOne of the great supporters of the training of Zone 2, who claims that it is optimal for the health of the power package mitochondria in our muscle cells. Therefore, I was interested in seeing a scientific study that is relevant in Alex ‘article by Alex: a group of people who exercise the recommended amount of 150 minutes a week and a control group of seated people. The latter showed early signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, which, when it is deactivated, can go through the insulin resistance and finally type -II diabetes. Ideally with movement in the bud.

From interviews with various exercise scientists and trainers, Alex found that they did not have to be too precise over the movement rate. Essentially, it will bring a good brisk pace in Zone 2. The walk is too easy while you are hard enough so that your muscles are too difficult.
