    I did zone 2 for 6 weeks, 4 days a week and strength training. My resting heart rate down from 70 to 52. Breathing rate reduced from
    28 to 20 in just 6 weeks. I will do this further for another 6 weeks before I jump into vo2 max cause I couldn’t do vo2 max like 4 mins and 4 mins break split when I tried at the beginning. So taking it slow. I encourage everyone to do zone 2 it’s the best ❤

    • @MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC

      Yes. They never tell you this. You need to ease slowly into the VO2 max training. Both in volume and in intensity.
      The smart way to do this would be to start out at 1% of your total volume of aerobic training for a week. And each week add 1%.
      4 x 4 is nothing special. You can do 1 x 4 or 2 x 4 or 3 x 4 or 4 x 4 or 5 x 4 or 6 x 4 or 7 x 4 or 8 x 4.
      It’s much better to break it up and change it around a lot.
      But again, easing into both the volume and the intensity incrementally.
      Enjoy!

    Do walking lunges for the HIIT!
    Stuck at college during Covid. I said I’m gonna lunge a mile. I trained for about two months doing lunges every other day. Roughly 20 to 30 mins, sets of 100-150 reps so about 40-70 reps a leg. My heart rate would be jacked to 178/180 for a min of work and a full min of rest after. It would fall back down to 120/130 and I’d go again. Got my legs crazy strong.

    What I noticed with my own experience is that my VO2Max would increase steadily when I incorporate 1-2 sprint in my daily 10k Run, and it would come down after my Sunday half-marathon+ long run.

  • @nickwilsonxc
    @nickwilsonxc 8 місяців тому +58

    This works! I’m a runner and my VO2 max on my Apple Watch went from being stagnant in the 56-58 range, to skyrocketing to 63.6 in only 6 weeks!
    What I do:
    I race every weekend. Usually something between a 5K and a half marathon.
    I’ll do about 3 recovery runs per week between 4-6 miles.
    Then here is what I believe has been the biggest difference maker, is once or twice a week I will do a VO2 max focused workout on the treadmill. Sometimes I will do a steep incline and pace that I can only hold for 5-9 minutes, stop and rest a few minutes, then repeat 2 or 3 times. Other times I will max out the treadmill at 12 mph, 0% incline until I feel like I need to slam the stop button. I’ll get off, walk around a few minutes, then get back on the treadmill and do it again 2-3 more times.
    Interested in seeing how much longer my VO2 max will continue to rise before plateauing. My last half marathon yesterday, not only did I PR but I ran my fastest 10K during the 2nd half of it as well. Like I said, VO2 max training works!

      Thanks for sharing. I want to get into running but I don't have the best ligaments. Static Bulgarian split squat holds are incredible torture and just need a chair, set a tabata timer to 15 to 20 seconds and 5 seconds rest to swap legs and maintain as long as can atm its like 3 minute for me. I read top sprinter can hold a static B split squat for 2 or 3 minutes per leg (I can't remember which.) I think this is the best way to do vo2 Max training with out destroying Ur joints with out equipment I can think of.

    I do HIIT resistance training(dumbbells/nautilus) and treadmill speed walking with about 10 % of that being jogging, and 10 % sprinting. ALL my training is at minimum, level 2 cardio. And I always hit peak BPM several times every session.
    I basically never go below level 2, unless I'm warming up, or occasionally in between resistance training sets. I go to full exhaustion on all sets, using 15 second rest intervals. If I don't feel I can maintain that level of intensity. I stay home. However, I average 5 workouts per week, 1000+ active minutes per week, and a marathon/ultramarathon every 6 weeks. Both my RHR, and Vo2max are 53. Which is athletic/elite for my age of 66.
    I think too many people rely on trainers, or others to develop an effective routine.
    If we are honest with ourselves, we are the best judges of what needs to be done, and the effort needed to accomplish it.
    If any senior citizen out there, can better my results. I'd like to know how they did it. I'm always looking for a better process. Thanks to this man, Huberman, Goggins, Cavaliere, Galpin, Willink, and others for sharing their knowledge, and inspiration.

    Should also talk about what someone's goal is for increasing their VO2 max. As a mostly 400m runner, I need both speed and some aerobic capability. Having a high VO2 max is nice, but I train for what my primary event is which would be different then a marathon runner. And just a quick trick to automatically increase your VO2 max rating, lose weight. As long as your peak oxygen intake stays the same, dividing by a lower weight means a higher #. My current rating is 4215mm/75kg = 55. If I lost 5kg, it would be 4215/70kg = 59. BTW I'm a 63 year old Master Athlete which is why my VO2 max is so high. I still am getting into better shape, my goal next year is to hit 60 as a rating.

    I did the 4 times 4 and it works great for me. For me it is about 95% heard rate after 2-3 minutes in the first reps. In terms of breathing there comes the point we I constantly breath with maximum capacity, no lag, no rhythm, just full in full out seamless and fast. This is my VO2 max speed which I can maintain for 4-5 minutes. If I go harder I’m done in 30 seconds.

      You don't have to worry about training the other zones unless you have a specific use-case. For the purposes longevity, Zone 2 and Zone 5 are key. Everything else is supplementary. So, if your sole goal is longevity, then probably 80% of your cardio should be spent in Zone 2 and 20% training Zone 5 or VO2 Max. Make sense?

    • @-Stop-it
      @-Stop-it 8 місяців тому

      His pyramid analogy is misleading. He trying to say you need a zone 2 base, the wider the better, meaning the more time you spend at those activities the better. And your fitness depends on how high your VO2 max is and you achieve that through zone 5 training. When you think about it, these 2 activities are meant to achieve different things. Building mitochondria in zone 2, increasing VO2 max in zone 5.

      If you want to get your exact Zone 2, it's actually not as simple as % of max heart rate. You have to go get it tested at a fitness center that does this kind of analysis. If you want the quick and dirty way to tell if you're in Zone 2, it's when you're going hard enough that you can still speak and converse with someone, but it's a little bit difficult to do so.

      No, he meant time. The 4x4 is 4 sets of 8 min = 32 min. If it represents 20% of the time, then 80% is 128 min. Basically you can do 3 sessions of 45 min zone 2 cardio and one session 4x4 Hiit.
      Then, what he meant by 3-8 min is if you double zone 2 time by doing 3 session of 90 min, you'll probably be able to do a 8x8 session.

      @rosslogan4154 Місяць тому

      I use my Garmin watch. It's fantastic for this.
      Once you've input your age, height weight, how much you train and run a few times, it calculates your VO2Max score. The watch even provides daily recommendations of runs to do in order to increase your VO2Max such as base, threshold, tempo, sprint and recovery runs.
      Through the watches algorithm, it even recommends rest days when appropriate.

    4 mins seems like a long time to maintain the max effort output hes on about. I’ve always thought something along the lines of 15 seconds max output on assault bike and 45 seconds rest x 10 rounds etc. what type of exercises is he suggesting you maintain near max effort for 4 minutes straight?

      he explains in his book, it's the max effort that you can maintain for 4 minutes only, meaning, not an all out sprint but still hard work. The type of aerobic exercise is upto you. his preffered method is on a spin bike.

    • @Erwin_Fit
      @Erwin_Fit Рік тому +1

      Vo2 max is measured during a long duration exercise where your heart rate is gradually increasing. The goal by doing 3-8 min is to keep your heart rate near Vo2 max and train it to endure more time.

    • @johntim3491
      @johntim3491 5 місяців тому

      ....sprint training is purely anaerobic....technically you could hold your breath for full 10 to 15 seconds as a sprinter might do... so I doubt there is any taxation on aerobic systems. 15s great for power and speed training for fast twitch I expect. For running 400m upwards if you've done this you'll know things get more complicated. I don't think his "near max effort" over 4 mins is anything like the self destruction from lactate from running a eg. 400m either .... it sounds purely aerobic with only very manageable lactate build up that clears quickly.

    The problem most people have with doing any type of interval, may it a Tabata or 4min or 8min, is they ease into it. Do a 4min interval, but are you absolutely smashing the pedals at the very first second? If you ease into it, even a five second build up, you're wasting time. I'm of the opinion that it's better to do 2min flat out, as opposed to 4min that has a ramping up period.

Rhonda, Patrick is saying if you exercise only four or five hours a week it would be better to have a higher level of intensity for most of your aerobic. I believe she’s probably more right than Peter.

    I don’t agree with 4 x 4 at all.
    We should be doing one minute intervals, two minute intervals, three minute intervals, four minute intervals, five minute intervals, six minute intervals, seven minute intervals, and eight minute intervals.
    These should be best done every workout day, only 10, 15 or at a maximum of 20% of our total volume of our cardio work out.
    And it’s best to intersperse them!
    Meaning, maybe do the one minute intervals at the end of the first aerobic exercise day, then do the eight minute intervals the second aerobic exercise day, then do the two minute intervals the third day, and then the seven minute intervals the fourth day and so forth. Break it up!
    Again, this should only be 10 to 20% maximum of our total aerobic training. And at the end of our zone 2 training.
