A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

trying a new cardio workout focused on staying in zone 2 (133-144). it’s weirdly like the movie speed but it’s your own body. unnatural pace to maintain this (like a half trot)

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

yes it can be set to buzz above, below, or both! as @zachterrell pointed out to me, exercise bike is probably a little easier to manage for this type of thing than running

Did you set it up to buzz if you go above / below?

I’ve read about this workout and it looks interesting. Tried to do it manually (looking at watch compulsively) and that UX was absolutely untenable

what's the motivation/reasoning behind doing this, as opposed to doing classical cardio with higher bpm?

I have such a hard time doing this. I’m 120 or 170 on the bike.

Zone 2 fitness not Lindy i know they say it’s healthy but I don’t buy it we are made to walk and sprint

Zone 2 as funny sounds it's hardest to maintain. During biking and rowing it's one of the trickiest to hold on for me.
