Zone 2 cardio: the easy pace that builds real endurance
Training slower to get fitter sounds strange — here is why easy-pace cardio is everywhere.
Zone 2 is a comfortable effort: you breathe faster but can still hold a conversation. Done regularly, it builds the aerobic base that makes every other workout easier.
How to find your zone
- Talk test: you can speak in full sentences.
- Nose breathing feels possible most of the time.
How much
Many people start with two or three sessions of 30 to 45 minutes a week: brisk walking, cycling, easy jogging or an indoor cycle class at a relaxed cadence.
