This is the most beautiful zone to be in, honestly. Here’s why 

Going to the gym is great.
Showing up isn’t the same as showing up with a plan 📝

If you're not deliberately pushing your body into both aerobic and anaerobic zones, you're leaving performance, longevity, and resilience on the table.

Take a look at my charts. You can see I was both in Zone 2 and 3! 

It’s not just about getting your heart rate up and down.

🧬 What really matters?
Mitochondrial health — your cells' energy factories. When you train smart (especially with interval-based and functional conditioning), you stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis: the creation of more mitochondria, and the efficiency of existing ones.

Longevity and healthspan — consistent aerobic and anaerobic training helps fight inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate metabolism, and slow the decline of muscle and cardiovascular function as you age.

Resilience — not just physical toughness, but metabolic and mental resilience. The ability to push through fatigue, recover faster, and handle stress (in training and in life).

💡 So what’s the solution?

You need a structured training approach — not just random workouts:
	•	Incorporate Zone 2 cardio to build your aerobic base
	•	Add HIIT or HIFT to challenge your anaerobic system and spike mitochondrial adaptation
	•	Use strength + conditioning combinations (like in HYROX or hybrid training) to cover both ends of the spectrum
