ZONE TWO & OTHER TYPES OF TRAINING
- Great place for athletes and those just trying to get in shape alike
- Allows you to eat calories healthily and get in shape/train properly
- Check out Phil Maffetone and his book
- Take your age from 180 – your age
- Then if you are fit, add a few and vice versa
- Zone Two doesn’t initially make you feel like you are doing much, but it is about volume
- You find you can do much more
- Build up connective tissue, mitochondria, makes your aerobic center very strong
- It is crazy to be in Zone Three/Four all the time, just maxes you out and doesn’t BUILD
- Good sometimes, just not all the time
- Once you get comfortable in Zone Two, you can introduce some HIIT
- Get in your red zone one minute a couple times (Interval Training)
- Serena did 1 mile intervals during her 82 mile race
