Zone 2 Training

Zone 2 training is a cardiovascular exercise approach that focuses on training within a specific heart rate zone, often referred to as the aerobic zone. This training method involves maintaining a heart rate intensity where the body predominantly utilises fat for energy, typically around 60-70% of an individual’s maximum heart rate. Zone 2 training has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in building endurance, improving aerobic capacity, and promoting fat metabolism, making it a favoured technique among endurance athletes, runners, and cyclists. It offers a balanced and sustainable approach to fitness, emphasising long, steady-state workouts that improve cardiovascular health and enable individuals to perform better in endurance-based activities while minimising the risk of overtraining and burnout.
