He discusses the specific fitness benefits of zone 2 training such as strengthening the heart and other cardiovascular structures, as well as how it improves mitochondrial function and metabolic efficiency. He also discusses how these adaptations help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunctions such as diabetes, and of course talks about how to do this type of training and incorporate it into your routine with other types of training such as strength training. <\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>Support\/Email\/Video Request\/Merch<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/beacons.page\/instituteofhumananatomy<\/p>\n<p>\ua4e5V\ua4e5: Anatomy Art<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/anatomyaia.com\/discount\/IOHA20<br \/>\nCoupon Code for 20% OFF: IOHA20<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>Video Timeline<\/p>\n<p>00:00 &#8211; 00:52 Intro<br \/>\n00:53 &#8211; 01:24 One of the Most Important Types of Exercise &#8211; Zone 2 Training<br \/>\n01:25 &#8211; 02:00 Why Should Everyone Consider Doing Zone 2 Training?<br \/>\n02:01 &#8211; 03:30 Benefits to the Heart and Muscles (Slow-Twitch vs. Fast-Twitch)<br \/>\n03:31 &#8211; 04:54 Improving Blood Flow By Increasing the Number of Capillaries<br \/>\n04:55 &#8211; 05:58 Increasing the Size and Number of Mitochondrial &#8211; Metabolic Efficiency<br \/>\n05:59 &#8211; 08:00 Misconceptions About Lactic Acid (Lactate)<br \/>\n08:01 &#8211; 09:06 How Lactic Acid (Lactate) Builds Up in the Muscles During Exercise<br \/>\n09:07 &#8211; 10:44 Zone 2 Training Helps You Process Lactate More Efficiently = Increased Fitness<br \/>\n10:45 &#8211; 11:46 How Training Improves Lactate Processing in the Muscles<br \/>\n11:47 &#8211; 13:31 How Training Improves Lactate Processing in Your Heart &amp; Liver<br \/>\n13:32 &#8211; 17:16 Finding Your Zone 2 &#8211; How to Do This Type of Training<br \/>\n17:17 &#8211; 19:40 How to Incorporate Zone 2 Training Into Your Workout Routine<br \/>\n19:41 &#8211; 21:18 Most Important Health &amp; Longevity Benefit of Zone 2 Training?<br \/>\n21:19 &#8211; 22:58 Brilliant Lifelong Learning! <\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>References:<br \/>\nDunford, Marie; Doyle, J.
