The Importance of Zone 2 Training for Optimal Fitness
Fitness enthusiasts can train like professional athletes by spending about 80% of their workouts in the green zone, also known as zone 2. This low-intensity training helps improve cardiovascular health and endurance. Athletes in zone 2 maintain a stable heart rate, can hold conversations comfortably, and have the mental capacity to focus externally. Combining frequency, duration, and intensity, such training allows individuals to optimize their workouts, ensure sustainable progress, and improve overall fitness. It is crucial to avoid training too hard every day, as this can lead to stagnation and potential burnout.
