Sharing the details about Zone 2 cardio, how to use it, and how often to implement it in your routine.

Hi hi! How are you? Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had ice cream sundaes at my dads, went to a birthday party and sushi, and took the kids roller skating. I also successfully conquered the first week of school laundry pile and got some things together for this week’s launch. All of the details about my new program will be here on the blog this Wednesday!

For today’s post, I thought we’d chat a little about Zone 2 cardio. You may have heard more about Zone 2 recently, as it’s been touted as a longevity tool by popular online biohackers. I’ve always been a fan of Zone 2 for the mental benefits and more sustainable pace, so I’m sharing the details on this training tool and how to use it in your routine. (As always, talk to a doctor before making any fitness changes.)

All about Zone 2 cardio and how to use it in your routine

In the world of fitness, we often hear about high-intensity interval training (HIIT), weightlifting, and various heart-pounding workouts that promise quick results. While these methods have their merits, there’s another fitness gem that’s been quietly working its magic – Zone 2 cardio. If you’re looking for a sustainable, fat-burning, and heart-healthy approach to exercise, Zone 2 cardio might just be the game-changer you’ve been seeking.

What is Zone 2 Cardio?

Zone 2 cardio is a training method that focuses on exercising within a specific heart rate zone, typically around 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This zone is often referred to as the “aerobic zone,” where your body efficiently uses oxygen to burn fat for fuel. Unlike higher-intensity workouts that primarily rely on carbohydrates, Zone 2 cardio taps into your body’s fat stores, making it an effective strategy for weight management and endurance building.

The Beauty of Low(er) and Slow(er):

Picture this: a steady, moderate-paced jog or a brisk walk where you can comfortably hold a conversation. That’s the essence of Zone 2 cardio. It’s about embracing a lower intensity that allows you to sustain the activity for extended periods without feeling exhausted. This approach not only boosts your cardiovascular fitness but also fosters a healthy relationship with exercise – one that you can stick with over the long haul.

Benefits of Zone 2:

Zone 2 cardio goes beyond the physical burn; it delivers a host of benefits that can transform your overall well-being.

Here’s a glimpse of some of the potential benefits:

1. Fat Burning and Weight Management: By training your body to rely on fat for energy, Zone 2 cardio can be an effective tool for shedding excess pounds and maintaining a healthy weight.

2. Enhanced Endurance: Regular sessions in Zone 2 can improve your aerobic capacity, enabling you to go the distance with ease and conquer physical challenges. If you’re training for endurance races or events, Zone 2 training can be a critical piece of your training.

3. Heart Health: Zone 2 cardio is a gentle way to potentially strengthen your heart, reduce blood pressure, and enhance circulation, all of which can contribute to a healthier cardiovascular s

Praying for the people of Maui this week, for their safety, and recovery from the devastating fires. It’s such a beautiful and special place, and it’s been absolutely heartbreaking to see photos of the damage. If you’re looking for ways to help, check out this link. 

Hi hi! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you’e enjoying the week! It’s been a bit of a blur over here since the kids went back to school. The morning wakeups have been rough lol, but they’re happy to be back with their teachers and friends.

Before school started, we had a couple of fun last-minute adventures.

The girls and I went to pick veggies at Apple Annie’s with some friends. They had an awesome selection of peppers, melons, eggplant, squashes, green beans, corn, and okra.

We got a huge stash of veggies for the week, along with a giant watermelon and cantaloupe, some honey and salsa from the shop, and lots of apple butter. After veggie picking, we had Mexican food at La Unica in Wilcox. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area! They serve breakfast all day and have amazing horchata.

After lunch, we took the girls to see “The Thing” since they were all intrigued by multiple billboards. The venue has gotten an upgrade since I was a kid.

We also had an afternoon bowling with my mom and nani! We’ve gone roller skating and bowling lately; turns out we thoroughly enjoy vintage activities that require rented footwear that many others have worn since at least the 1960s.

Sharing some alternatives to facial injections! You can also use FITNESSISTA15 here for one of my favorite wellness and anti-aging tools: the red light face mask. 

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re enjoying the morning so far! I have a new post for you this morning + a corresponding podcast episode for those who want to listen on-the-go!

 

This was a popular readers request post, especially since I’ve mentioned before that I haven’t had any facial injections, like Botox or fillers, and have no desire to in the near future. This is ZERO shade to anyone who has had these procedures – do what makes you happy and feel good! – I just know they’re not a fit for me, right now (never say never though, right?). All of my friends who have gotten Botox, etc., swoon about it, but I feel like I’m the person who would have a crazy reaction or respond horribly.

Some reader friends asked me if I would do a post with my favorite alternatives if you’re also a little wary of facial injections.

Frownies

Frownies are a unique and skincare product designed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly on the forehead and between the eyebrows. They were originally created by a concert pianist in the late 1800s (!) who didn’t want a furrowed brow. You can read more about the history here! It has continued to be family run and owned for multiple generations.

Frownies are specialized adhesive patches are made from natural, skin-friendly materials. They work by gently holding the skin in place, preventing facial muscles from contracting and forming creases while you sleep. Think of Frownies as your beauty secret weapon against unwanted furrows and lines.

By wearing these discreet patches overnight or for a few hours during the day, you’re giving your skin a chance to relax and rejuvenate, helping to soften the appearance of wrinkles over time. Frownies are all about natural skincare and non-invasive self-care, offering an alternative to more aggressive treatments like inje
