Staying In The Zone

• Vinnie shares a story about getting some differences in strength and fitness in different activities. (5:00)
  • He shares how even very fit people can struggle in activities they don’t do often.
  • There is a way to strengthen your cardio and boost mitochondria to increase endurance. (15:00)
  • Zone 2 training can make a big difference.
  • Zone 1 is up to 69% of your aerobic capacity. An example would be a light walk or gardening.
  • Zone 2 is 70-79% of aerobic capacity.
  • Zone 3 is 80-89% of aerobic capacity.
  • Zone 4 is 90-100% aerobic capacity.
  • Zone 2 is a favorite because it’s the range at which your body is still burning fat.
  • HIIT training typically relies on sugar-burning.
  • Calculate your Zone 2 by taking 180 - your age +/- 5 (depending on your activity level).
  • If you are a sedentary person, subtract 5. If you are generally active, you can add the 5.
• Vinnie talks to a lot of obese people; however, they shouldn't worry about Zone 2 just yet. Focus on getting yourself to just move and do what you can do. (28:00)
  • Wearing a heart rate monitor can help.
