[chibisensei21]

Looking for suggestions

@chibisensei21 Power walking. No I'm not kidding.

@kt71 Rucking is awesome too.

@kt71 Walked 5k for 100 days straight and my running/ cardio was noticeably better

@chibisensei21 Wear a heat rate monitor, sit on a bike, erg, jump rope whatever, and turn on the tv. Keep your HR in the target zone. Profit.

@chibisensei21 Anything mono structural. An hour long metcon where your HR is in zone 2 does not count what I mean is Like biking and power cleans would not be ideal because those cleans are a glycolytic event. My advise is swimming or biking. They for me are the least taxing on the joints when I’m training hard in CF.

@gail2292 Excuse my ignorance but what is zone 2? And without a heart monitor how would I know if i'm in zone 2?

 

[gail2292]

@usnuzuloose If you’re on the bike next to me and having a conversation doesn’t leave you gasping for air then your right there. Zone 2 is a heart rate zone and zone 2 training where you take advantage of your metabolic systems and strengthen aerobic pathways through long duration training.

@chibisensei21 75 min c2 bike

 

[dawn16]

@servanna 4 hour regular bike

 

[currentlygrowing]

@servanna How much echo bike?

 

[unforgiven1]

@currentlygrowing They are such different machines man. Really can’t compare

 

[phlyarologist]

@currentlygrowing About 3:50

 

[servanna]

@currentlygrowing You could do the same but it will be horrible just keep HR between 60-70% of your max and you’re good

@chibisensei21 Cycling/swimming/hiking

 

[enochswalk]

@chibisensei21 Endurance cycling is the great for this!

 

[xnihilistx]

@chibisensei21 20min ski/20min bike/20min row.

No more than a 1:00 of rest to transition.

@xnihilistx Listen this is exactly what I’m looking for but that doesn’t mean I won’t cry

@jaz2016 If you’re crying it’s definitely not zone 2, haha
