The Best Exercise For Health, Fitness, and Longevity

____

In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses one of the most effective types of exercise for optimizing fitness, health, and longevity, called zone 2 training. 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.
