If your fitness regimen is focused on just getting swole 💪 you might be skipping out on training the most important muscle of them all—your heart. Enter Zone 2 cardio rate training! 🤔 What the heck is Zone 2, you ask? Zone 2 (60 to 70% of your max heart rate) is the "fat-burning endurance" zone that helps you build an aerobic base and improve your body's ability to use fat for fuel. Zone 2 heart rate training is critical for boosting cardiovascular endurance and stamina, but it's important to note that many factors influence your individual rate, including age, fitness level, body composition, genetics, and stress. Brad Serwer, MD FACC FSCAI, a cardiologist and Chief Medical Officer at VitalSolution, adds "Everyone's baseline heart rate is different, but having a good understanding of your individual physiology is very beneficial in optimizing and personalizing your training."
