This class is recommended for cross-training endurance athletes and beginners.
In keeping with The Crew’s mission of improving overall fitness, our Tuesday class is dedicated as a social time for members to get in 75 minutes of steady state rowing while maintaining a Heart Rate in Zone 2 (UT2).
In endurance sports, long, low effort workouts are a stark contrast to the high intensity sessions most people are used to. However, they are just as, if not MORE, important.
Zone 2 training can help increase cardiovascular fitness, which can reduce mortality and morbidity and increase longevity. It can also help keep your heart's walls healthy and stretchy, which can help your heart function better.
Other benefits include:
Faster recovery: Zone 2 training can help you recover faster after a tough workout.
Increased endurance: Zone 2 training can help you build aerobic endurance and improve your general endurance.
Improved resilience: Zone 2 training can help you become more resilient and better able to deal with increasing workout loads.
More enjoyable: Zone 2 training can be more enjoyable than other types of training because it's not as mentally and physically overwhelming. It is meant to be at a “conversational” pace.
