  • Zone 2 Strength Workouts: Boost Muscle and Endurance
    Nico shares that Zone 2, at 60%-70% of max heart rate, uses fat as fuel, aiding weight loss. Traditionally for cardio, it can apply to strength workouts with light weights and high reps. "Supersets without breaks maintain Zone 2," offering a "slow burn" effect post-workout. Ideal for those who prefer continuous movement, but beginners should start with traditional methods.
