Zone 2: the walk that counts
Easy cardio you can talk through — the kind that builds a base instead of wrecking the week.
Zone 2 is just work you could still talk over. A brisk walk, an easy bike, a slow jog if that is truly easy for you.
How to do it
- 20 to 40 minutes
- Nose breathing if you can
- You should finish able to do the rest of the day
Two or three of these a week will change your engine more than one heroic session you dread. If you only have a lunch break, walk the same loop and keep the pace honest, not heroic.
