Zone 2 and VO2 Max

  • Vinnie has been getting a little grief online for his television movie choices. (3:00)
    • He recently watched a movie called “Soul On Fire,” and shares its inspirational story. (17:30)
  • Dental floss story and hippy toothbrushes. (31:00)
  • Why is Zone 2 cardio so great? (38:00)
    • Zone 1 is fine to start with if you’ve led a sedentary lifestyle.
    • Zone 2 is optimal for many reasons and falls in the range of 70% through 79% of your aerobic capacity.
      • There are many biological benefits to staying in this range, including mitochondrial health and blood health.
  • Zone 2 can be used alongside VO2 Max training, especially if you are training for an event.
  • VO2 max is defined as the maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during exercise. (49:00)
    • If you are starting from a sedentary lifestyle, do not jump into this type of training without a consultation from your doctor. 
  • Zones 3, 4, and 5 are more difficult and not meant for long intervals. (52:00)
    • HIIT training is not meant to be done every day.
  • Vinnie explains what a “quad” is and how he does it. (55:00)
    • If you’re using a device like a Fitbit or Garmin (or similar), what should you look for in your numbers?
      • So that you know, those devices aren’t always super accurate. They can help, however.
    • If you are near a hospital and can have a stress test done, do it.
    • Do not do VO2 max training without knowing your range, as determined by the stress test.
  • Vinnie shares how to calculate your Zone 2 heart rate. (1:08:00)
  • The NSNG® VIP GROUP IS NOW CLOSED AGAIN AS OF SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH
