#145 - The Cardio Conversation: 4 Principles and 5 Zones EXPLAINED

In this episode of the Iron Sights podcast, we discuss the 4 principles and 5 zones of Cardio. Whether you're in the know or new to the Cardio conversation - cardio is misunderstood and often gets a bad wrap. This episode isn't about fat loss, heart attacks or the next best cardio workout: we do our best to simplify the topic while focusing on the positive effects of cardiovascular training.. You will learn how to train in each cardio "zone" and hopefully feel encouraged to test for yourself the benefits of cardiovascular training at your own pace. If you enjoy the episode let us know!  When you're ready to get started and follow a 12-16 week program make sure to check out RDF Programs.
