Does Zone 2 matter if your main goal is getting stronger? Yes. 

For lifters, Zone 2 matters because it builds aerobic capacity. And when cardio + lifting are programmed well, you can improve conditioning without automatically sacrificing strength or muscle. 🚴‍♀️ ➕ 🏋️‍♀️ 🟰 🔥 

Bottom line:
☑️ Lift for strength. 💪 
☑️ Use Zone 2 to support the engine. ⚡️ 

How do you know if you’re in Zone 2?

1️⃣ Perceived Exertion: On a scale of 1–10, 10 being most intense, Zone 2 feels like a 4 or 5.

2️⃣ Nasal Breathing: You can maintain your breathing entirely through your nose without needing to gasp for air.

3️⃣ Sustained heart rate is around 60-70% max.

⤵️ Save this for your next cardio day.  #fitbod #fitbodapp #strengthtraining #zone2
