Zone Two Cardio and Its Benefits
Zone two cardio refers to a moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise aiming for approximately 150 to 200 minutes per week. This level of exercise can include activities such as running, swimming, or walking, allowing individuals to maintain a conversation, although the effort will make it challenging to speak comfortably. The benefits of zone two cardio involve the release of growth factors and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, contributing to various physiological improvements. Engaging in this type of exercise supports better overall cardiovascular health and may enhance cognitive functions over time.
