What is Zone 2 Cardio?

Is Zone 2 cardio good for fat loss? Yes, but only as part of a wider fitness and nutrition routine.

When in Zone 2, your body leaps on fat as its primary fuel source, rather than carbohydrates. This means that you're burning more of your calories from stored fat, which can lead to a slimmer waistline.

Zone 2 is at 60 to 70 percent of your max heart rate, so it's a low-intensity, basic endurance pace without intervals.

Zone 2 cardio as a longevity hack is catching on, with exercisers keeping workouts in the “mellow” second heart rate zone to boost metabolism, mitochondrial function, and more.

Beginners start with 20 minutes and work up to 60 and it is safe to do Zone 2 daily.
