In his 2023 book 'Outlive', Dr. Peter Attia popularizes Zone 2 training, advocating long, moderate exercise to enhance metabolic health. This concept contrasts high-intensity interval training, suggesting that consistent Zone 2 workouts can prevent chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Supported by Inigo San Millan's research, the idea posits that maintaining a specific intensity during exercise optimizes fat burning. While Zone 2 has gained traction, some scientists express skepticism about its necessity, indicating that a broader perspective on exercise intensity may be warranted.
The focus on Zone 2 training for metabolic health challenges previous high-intensity workout trends, emphasizing steady, moderate efforts to improve fitness and prevent disease.
