Zone 2 cardio increases your VO2max and lowers your resting heart rate. Both your VO2max and resting heart rate are strong indicators of your cardiovascular health đź«€
That’s why 80% of the time I spend doing cardio, it’s zone 2 with my heart rate between 105-133 beats per minute. I do 150 minutes weekly of zone 2 cardio spread across 3-4 sessions. Sometimes I’m walking on an incline with a weighted vest, other times I’m on a stationary bike, and almost always I am having a conversation on my phone through my AirPods.
