Zone 2 training is a low-to-moderate intensity Aerobic exercise that acts as the “foundation” for your metabolic health. At this intensity, your body primarily uses fat oxidation (burning fat) rather than carbohydrates for fuel. While HIIT “raises the ceiling” of your fitness, Zone 2 “builds the engine” by optimizing your mitochondria.
