But in skipping over Zone 2 cardio altogether, they miss out on a significant range of benefits to their health, fitness, and overall well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Here to unpack why you need to make the relatively easy yet hugely beneficial form of exercise that is Zone 2 cardio a big part of your life is Alex\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Viada<\/span>, a hybrid athlete and coach. We spend the first twenty minutes of this conversation discussing the physiological science of what cardio zones are and what happens in the body as you move from one zone to the next. From there, we turn to the more accessible and practical elements of getting into Zone 2 cardio. Alex shares the easiest way to know if you\u2019re in Zone 2, and we discuss how it can improve heart health, metabolism, sleep, and weight loss, as well as enhance athletic performance, whether you\u2019re into endurance sports or powerlifting. We then get into the amount of Zone 2 cardio you should be getting each week and how to get it, including Alex\u2019s take on the ever-controversial elliptical machine.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources Related to the Episode<\/h2>\n<h2><b>Connect With Alex Viada<\/b><\/h2>\n<h2>Listen to the Podcast!
