The Magic of Zone 2 Cardio

So, what's Zone 2 cardio? Is it a new dance move? The latest diet fad? No, it's much cooler than that!

Zone 2 cardio is a type of low to moderate-intensity exercise that gets your heart rate up to about 60-70% of its max. It's like the Goldilocks of workouts - not too easy, not too hard, but just right. And it's a fantastic way to build endurance, improve heart health, and yes, even aid in weight loss.

Think walking, swimming, light jogging, cycling – the options are endless! Choose something you genuinely like, so you'll look forward to your workouts.

Who knew you could do so much while feeling like you're on a leisurely stroll in the park? Well, now you do!

Why It's a Big Deal for Us

Now, you might be thinking, "That's all well and good, but why is it a big deal for us women over 40?"

Great question! As we age, our bodies go through changes (and I'm not just talking about the sudden need for reading glasses). Our metabolism slows down, we lose muscle mass, and our heart health becomes more of a priority.

That's where Zone 2 cardio comes in. It's like a secret weapon in our fitness arsenal that helps us tackle all these issues head-on, without putting too much strain on our bodies.

It's like having your cake and eating it too, but in a heart-healthy, metabolism-boosting way!
