The Workout Zone

THAT HELPS YOU AGE SLOWER

In 1983, when aerobics was still a brand-new concept, I was invited to appear on The Merv Griffin Show. Merv was best known for creating Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and aerobics was just starting to sweep the nation. Click the play button below to watch the clip! 

Just five years later, in 1988, I released one of my most popular workouts of all time: Fat Burning Workout. At the time, we didn’t use the term “Zone 2 training.” But that’s exactly what this routine  was.

What We Know Now About Zone 2 and Aging
 
Science has caught up with what we saw in real time: Zone 2 training isn’t just effective, it’s essential. Especially as we age. Benefits of zone 2 training include:
 
• Improves mitochondrial function, helping your cells produce energy more efficiently
• Boosts metabolic health, increasing your ability to burn fat and regulate blood sugar
• Protects your heart, brain, and mobility
• Helps prevent that slow slide into the “Marginal Decade” those final 10 years of life where independence and quality of life often decline
 
Of course, high-intensity workouts have their place… they’re efficient and drive important adaptations, especially for improving VO₂ max. But if your goals include longevity and metabolic health, the majority of your training is better spent in Zone 2. Aim for 3 to 4 zone 2 sessions per week, totaling at least 3 hours. 
 
 
Let’s Walk It Out… in Zone 2
 
 
One of the easiest ways to train in Zone 2? Walking. Steady, rhythmic, and effective. Today’s audio workout guides you through a 30-minute steady-state walk. I’ll be there coaching you along the way, reminding you to keep your posture strong (chest tall, eyes up, abdominals in!) and we’ll maintain a moderate, fat-burning intensity throughout.
