The Movement As Medicine Podcast - Episode 25: Brendon Live In Studio, Gym Planning and Zone 2 Training

Show Notes: Train Smarter and Harder Fitness The Garage Gym The 24/7 Hybrid Model? Opening before COVID vs after COVID Silver vs. Platinum Memberships Uninitiated believers 63% - Price | Time | Value Whatever you decide to do you’re going to have headache Just send an email, the worst that can happen is they say no or they don’t answer Zone 2 Is low intensity cardiac output work, done for an extended period of time Build a bigger gas tank Can you have a conversation still is Zone Two, if you’re breathing heavy it’s probably not Zone 2 If you’re not fast or good enough to get on the field, court or ice, then it doesn’t really matter how big your gas tank is. Horsepower first. the Long Term Athletic Development Model and Type II muscle fibers during peak velocity growth There’s a lot of Couch to 5K programs, but there are no Couch to NBA programs It’s much harder to help someone get strong or powerful than it is to help someone get in shape. Zone 2 takes so much time that realistically it doesn’t make sense to program if you only have 3 hours a week in the gym Your gas tank only has to be big enough, bigger might not be better. If you think of Racing they could put bigger gas tanks in the car to decrease the number of pit stops but a heavier car is a slower car. You’d lose every race. Interval training can improve Vo2Max When it comes to the general population and we are thinking longevity and health then zone 2 makes more sense or I may be more willing to do long slow training for 45+ minutes Sports = performance, wins, injury prevention, contracts Gen Pop = blood panels, disability years, ADLs, longer life, decrease pain Meet people where they’re at!
