No matter what, exercise-morning or evening, doesn’t matter. But move your butt and go. Good luck exercising!

As far as exercise goes, this one phrase is golden: "The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen." 😉

1:28: ✅ Zone 2 training, a form of steady state cardio, has numerous health and fitness benefits for everyone. 3:28: 💪 Developing slow twitch fibers through Zone 2 training has indirect benefits for fast twitch fibers, such as increased capillarization, improved nutrient delivery, and removal of metabolic byproducts. 7:21: ✨ Lactate is not a waste product, but a valuable source of energy for the body during exercise. 10:45: 💪 Zone two training improves the size and quality of mitochondria, aids in lactate processing, and benefits both slow and fast twitch muscle fibers. 14:33: 💡 The most effective way to find your zone two is through the talk test, where you can maintain a conversation while exercising. 17:31: ✅ Zone 2 training helps improve cardiovascular fitness and metabolic efficiency. 20:48: 📚 Zone 2 training can help reduce the risk of metabolic dysfunctions like type 2 diabetes.

Exercise is hard work, but the end results are worth every burn💪🏿🖤🖤🖤

I remember when I was able to say, "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell," but then I started Uni and it became "the ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation." That was a day I'll always remember as it crushed me. Not long after that was the day I could no longer just say "Krebs Cycle," but instead had to list each of the steps. Don't go to Uni kids. It takes the magic out of your childhood.

For all the people who might consider starting to work out: When you first start, NEVER start using schedules or goals (for example achieving a certain weight) but learn to love doing the activity itself. The moment your goal is your only motivation; it's just a matter of time before you quit and it's been for nothing. I, for example, love lifting weights. (bodybuilding/powerlifting) Let's say there's an exercise that would definitely increase my gains but I absolutely hate doing it; I'll simply pass on that. I won't let that potentially harm my love for the sport. When you've ''learned'' to love the activity itself, you can always set up goals or challenges in the future if that's something that you want to do.

What a knockout lecture! Dr. Robert Baron at UCSF mentioned that working with pre-diabetic patients with exercise and diet outperformed Metformin in one of their clinical trials, which supports what you are saying here. Very proactive, useful, actionable information for a long health span. Thank you.

We need a Part 2 with even greater detail. It's so interesting and educational, love it

I love your videos so much. I watch your content purely for fun. I got into exercising a lot over the last year and it's turned into a hobby for me. Your channel is one of my few go to channels to learn more about exercise science. The videos are super informative and organised, and I hope you never stop making them.

Thank you for this. I've recently lost 69 lbs and down from 265. I definitely plan to try the zone 2 training. Over 20 years have passed with me taking care of patients and not taking care of myself. I once was a dedicated 5-6 day per week gym guy but admittedly didn't do the amount of cardio I needed . I was scrawny and placed emphasis on gaining weight . I gained 50 lbs muscle going from 145 to 195 but as life and career happened I became sedentary and went from 195 to 265 and out of shape and out of breath. With the kids growing and spreading their wings I am inspired to get back my endurance and do some mountain elk hunting and African hunts . Despite knowing my anatomy and physiology I just seemed somewhat overwhelmed on how to proceed on my journey. You have helped me enormously. Thanks so much .

Consistency is key! 🔑 It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you do something daily, it will get you healthier. Slow and steady wins the race! 🐢 🐇

Watched 22 minutes of the whole entire video and loved every minute of it. Thanks again

This channel is one of the most valuable on YouTube. Thank you for the great info.

I love the exercise videos. You guys definitely help me refresh my A&P as I go through nursing school. I definitely need to stay on top of my fitness, school is stressful and I can tell my fitness is plummeting, I gotta keep that DD-214 pounds off of me 😂

I love listening to these whilst working out , its like a real life example

I’ve been excercising since 13yrs old, 26 now and I’ve seen the consistent within my body and upgrades I’ve been receiving rather than downgrades or pain and hurt. Also working in my CPT. Love IHA, I’m learning so much!

You and Adam seem to have been Top of your classes. Great explanation of Everything guy's. Really enjoy the learning process of basic bodily functions.

I'm in a phase of HIIT Running vs this for my specific goals, I think this gave me the information I needed. Thank you guys as always

Absolutely love these contents!!! Best 22mins of my day.
