The goal of the Zone 2 Challenge is to accumulate 20+ days in June with 30mins or more in Zone 2 by walking quickly or Rucking.
Zone 2 Cardio is keeping a steady pace of activity with your HR maintained at 60-70% of your Heart Rate Max.
To calculate your Zone 2 subtract your age from 220 to find your Heart Rate Max. 60-70% of that number is considered your Zone 2.
220 - (your age) = Heart Rate Max
Heart Rate Max x (.6) = Minimum Zone 2 Heart Rate
Heart Rate Max x (.7) = Maximum Zone 2 Heart Rate
To get into Zone 2 you will need to walk very quickly, walk at an incline or hike, or try rucking. Rucking can be done by simply walking while carrying something, putting weight in a backpack or wearing a weight vest. Fifteen to twenty pounds in a backpack will do the trick for most people.
Once you've reached your Zone 2 try maintaining it for 30mins!
Accumulate 20 days of 30mins in Zone 2 and win a Seacoast Strength Sweat Towel!
