Episode 2074 – On this Monday episode, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk feeling sick, calculating your Zone 2 heart rate, Nautilus machines, Vinnie’s guest appearance on Mike Rowe’s podcast “The Way I Heard It,” and more.
ZONE 2 HEART RATE
- Vinnie recommends Zone 2 exercise.
- It is best for weight loss, and is also excellent for cardiovascular and general health.
- How do you figure out what heart rate you should aim for?
- Take 180 and subtract your age.
- But, add or subtract depending upon your fitness.
- If you aren’t fit, subtract five from the number above. If you’re quite fit, add five.
- That is the heart rate you should stay around to remain in Zone 2.
- You’ll notice over time that you’re getting more and more fit, and you’ll burn fat and strengthen your heart.
- It’s okay if you need to start really, reallllyyy slow to stay in Zone 2 when you start out.
NAUTILUS MACHINES
- The Nautilus concept is as the angle gets smaller, the weight sets in.
- Vinnie describes very generally how to properly use these machines if you have them.
- Don Coddington will do one set to failure on all of the machines.
- Some people believe in going to failure — this idea is in part what gave Nautilus its start.
