    In a recent interview on The Rashad Richey Morning Show's weekly segment, " Fitness Friday ," Coach Q shared his expertise on the benefits of zone two cardio and the significance of incorporating it into a well-rounded fitness routine. The conversation with Coach Q delved into the importance of finding a balance between low-intensity cardio, strength training, and overall health goals.

    Coach Q emphasized the significance of zone two cardio, which involves maintaining a comfortable effort level for an extended period at 65 to 75% of your maximum heart rate. This type of training is essential for building endurance, improving cardiovascular health, and enhancing overall fitness levels. By focusing on longer, sustainable workouts rather than high-intensity bursts, individuals can see significant improvements in their performance and well-being.

    During the interview, Coach Q highlighted his personal approach to fitness as well as Dr. Richey, which includes short, daily workouts of only 10-15 minutes. This consistent, moderate-intensity exercise routine has allowed Dr. Richey to achieve impressive results and maintain his fitness goals without risking burnout or injury.

    In addition to zone two cardio, Coach Q stressed the importance of incorporating strength training into a workout routine. By adding 2-3 days of strength training per week, individuals can build muscle, increase strength, and complement their cardio workouts. This balanced approach to exercise helps to improve overall fitness levels and achieve a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle.

    Coach Q also encouraged listeners to customize their workout routines based on their personal goals and fitness levels. Whether aiming to lose weight, increase muscle mass, or boost endurance, finding the right balance of cardio and strength training is key. By gradually increasing workout intensity, individuals can see sustainable results and avoid the pitfalls of overtraining or injury.
