Ever felt like you're trudging through the day plagued by fatigue and brain fog? You're not alone, and the solution may just lie in the delicate balance between inflammation, exercise, and metabolic health. We embark on a journey through the realms of Zone 2 cardio and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to unravel how these exercise forms tap into our body's muscle fibers and energy systems to enhance our well-being. With personal anecdotes and challenges, I reveal the transformative power of understanding and improving VO2 max and mitochondrial function – keys to unlocking a life brimming with vitality.

Are you ready to embrace the slow burn of Zone 2 training or the fiery pace of Zone 5? In this episode, we navigate the pros and cons of each, discussing how low-intensity, steady-state workouts can not only boost fat oxidation but also serve as a springboard for those new to exercise or struggling with metabolic challenges. Conversely, we sprint through the benefits of glucose-driven, high-intensity workouts, ideal for those short on time but high on ambition. I get candid about my own struggles to remain disciplined with Zone 2 training and how pushing through the intensity of Zone 5 requires mental resilience.

As the year unfurls, we're all looking for ways to improve our health and fitness. So, consider this episode your personal training session for the mind. Learn about the 10 by one protocol, adaptable to any fitness level, and how it can amplify your exercise capacity. We'll set the stage for a future conversation on structuring your workouts, offering a sneak peek into blending the best of Zone 2 and Zone 5 to create a harmonious fitness regimen. Join us for an episode packed with insights that promise to fuel your journey to a more energized and healthier you in the New Year.
