1️⃣ Understanding Mitochondrial Health.
Mitochondria are responsible for energy production and various cell functions. Keeping your mitochondria healthy supports physical performance, cognitive function, and vitality. On the other hand, compromised mitochondrial health can lead to decreased energy levels and an increased risk of illness.

2️⃣ How Zone 2 Training Affects Mitochondrial Health.
Zone 2 cardio, performed at a medium intensity, triggers remarkable mitochondrial processes. This type of training increases the quantity and quality of your mitochondria, boosting energy production and improving metabolic flexibility. Think of it as upgrading your body's engine for optimal performance.

3️⃣ How VO2Max Training Affects Mitochondrial Health.
VO2Max training, or Zone 5, focuses on high-intensity intervals that stress your mitochondria. This stress prompts adaptations that enhance their efficiency and function. With more mitochondria, muscles can generate energy more effectively, improving endurance and fatigue resistance.

4️⃣ Enhancing Mitochondrial Health with Zone 2 & VO2Max Training.
The real magic happens when you combine Zone 2 and VO2Max training. You can unlock your body's full potential by strategically integrating both methods. Begin with a base-building phase in Zone 2, then transition to VO2Max training. Finally, incorporate both methods into your routine to stimulate mitochondrial adaptations continuously.

Embrace the power of mitochondria through Zone 2 and Vo2 Max training and unlock a more vibrant and energetic version of yourself 💪💥

P.S. Thanks for all the views & comments, we really appreciate it! 🙏✨

[peterbedford]

I found my energy level.greatly improved, almost immediately, when I started doing HIIT. 64, male.

[gibbens]

As an athlete I really appreciate you going through the data and peer reviewed papers so that I don't have to waste my training time doing it. Keep up the great work. This clip was concise and easy to understand. 🚴🏃😃👍🇦🇺

[eaclest]

Well informed, concise & accurate based on recent research. Thanks guys.

[diaxzz]

Dfq what, how did I get such a good quality video, while the channel only has so few subscribers.

[TheDanrach]

What an excellent, inspiring video! I'm so glad I found you guys. Looking forward to more.

[PhoenixFire]

Easily one of the best videos out there regarding Zone 2. Thank you for all the great work! Subscribed!

[michaelharris]

I’ve seen tons of videos on this topic but this was by far the easiest for me to understand.

[cnwil]

Chemistry and biology helped me understand the importance of exercising, sleep, and nutrition. In addition, as an athlete, physical fitness has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. I am now 55+.

[scottyg]

Excellent video! Great breakdown! Thank you!

[clingenpeelc]

Nice video. First video from your channel that I’ve watched and need to go back and watch some of the others, particularly the one about zn 2. Your 60-70% of Max HR is what I would consider zn1.

I wrote a mitochondrial-based health and fitness book with champion cyclist Greg LeMond, "The Science of Fitness". Zone 2 training uses mitochondrial energy efficiently, but to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis one needs to tax the energy system much more at zones 4 and 5. For example pro athletes train using high intensity interval training not zone 2. I recommend hill repeat bicyling. I also do a super intense calisthenic workout of 100 body weight pull ups in 3 sets (50 pull ups, one min rest, 30 pull ups, one min rest, 20 pull ups). This workout increases type 2a high-mitochondrial muscle fibers in the upper body for fatigue resistance and practical strength. This creates a more aesthetic body shape, because the girly arm Tour de France look might be ideal for climbing mountains on a bike, but looks very wimpy.

It's nice to see promotion of synergetic approaches...e.g. Zone 2 for mitochondrial count increase and VO2Max for mitochondrial efficiency increase. The synergy yields more than either done in isolation.

Zone 2 is a relatively constant energy output which is ideal for electricity generation (charge phones etc.). Can you recommond a non-bicycling product/approach that adds electricity generation synergy to Zone 2 + VO2Max training?

[sinombe]

This is the best video on Z2 by Far thanks👌

[SeanCafferacer]

I must admit I was hypnotised by your two different styles of hand gestures while talking. (I am Italian and as such, biased…😂)

[DavidRose-ms]

Nerve, Cartilage, neuron, and heart cell's have relatively low numbers of Telomere's so looking after the most vulnerable body component's well also work well for living your best life. Of these focusing on your nerves will cover most of the rest.

Thanks 🙏

The most important thing that people who are interested in health is truth. I would listen to a parrot if I thought he was speaking the truth. That can take time. But many people just as soon go to any doctor and except whatever? At this point I have no reason to think other wise of your statements. I'm not here to put anybody to the test just to learn more for my own health. Thank you for your info.

So confusing. For years I read about how unhealthy distance running was, especially after Jim Fixx's sudden death. Maybe it was that Fixx ran too many miles. The theory at the time was that too much steady-state cardio thickened the heart walls. Or something like that. I've been walking for an hour or more every morning for nearly a year. I'm 67 years old and walk very fast, always passing the other people I see, most of them much younger. I've been mixing in sprints three times a week, about thirty seconds as fast as I can go, five or six times during the walking session. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 170. It seems like what I'm doing is making me healthier. It hasn't been a magic cure. Sleep and digestion still give me a lot of problems. I'm wondering if zone 2 would be better than what I'm doing. I'd have to figure out what that is for me.

Good information, thanks for sharing with us . greeting from Peru craks .
