The article discusses Zone 2 training, referred to as the "fat-burning zone," which is characterized by exercising at 60% to 70% of maximum heart rate. This training mode allows individuals to burn a significant amount of fat while avoiding overstressing their bodies, making it suitable for beginners. Fitness manager Carmine Ciliento emphasizes that this method helps maintain cardio volume effectively. As the heart rate increases, the body shifts from fat to carbohydrates for energy, reinforcing the importance of Zone 2 for optimal fat utilization during workouts.
Zone 2 is especially valuable because it allows you to add cardio volume to your training without overstressing your body, making it perfect for beginners.
Different zones burn different compounds in the body; in Zone 2, roughly 65% of the calories burned are from fat.
