In this episode, we dive into an exciting topic - the 5 zones for training cardio.
Zone 1 (recovery/easy) | 55%-65% HR max | Used to get your body moving with minimal stress and exertion. This zone might be used for an easy training day, warming up or cooling down.
Zone 2 (aerobic/base) | 65%-75% HR max | Used for longer training sessions, you can sustain this basic-effort zone for many miles yet still chitchat a little bit with your workout partner.
Zone 3 (tempo) | 80%-85% HR max | This zone is where you push the pace to build up speed and strength; conversation is reduced to single words.
Zone 4 (lactate threshold) | 85%-88% HR max | In this zone, your body is processing its maximum amount of lactic acid as a fuel source; above this level, lactic acid builds up too quickly to be processed and fatigues muscles; training in this zone helps your body develop efficiency when you’re operating at your maximum sustainable pace.
Zone 5 (anaerobic) | 90% HR max and above | This maximum speed zone (think closing kick in a race) trains the neuromuscular system—your body learns to recruit additional muscle fibers and fire muscles more effectively.

Ben Barker was always a super skinny kid. He wanted nothing more than to be "big and strong." Once Ben started lifting weights, he became strong... he is still waiting on getting big.
Any time he posts a lifting video on social media people will comment something like, "Wow, you're really strong... for a little guy."
Here's what makes the fitness journey interesting... there is always room for improvement. This can either be seen as discouraging or encouraging.
To Ben, it is motivating. Think about it, as long as we keep showing up, we can continue to see improvements!

Strength training is essential for those over 40 to maintain active, healthy lifestyles. Strength training not only helps prevent injury, but also increases muscle mass and bone density. As we age, our muscles and bones naturally become weaker, making it more important than ever to strength train.
By engaging in regular strength training exercises, individuals can improve balance and coordination, as well as reduce their risk of osteoporosis and falls. Not to mention, strength training is also great for improving moods and increasing energy levels. With age comes wisdom, and with that wisdom should come knowledge about the power of strength training in maintaining health, quality of life and longevity.
Strength training can be seen as an investment into your future - and it’s one that pays off in the long run. By starting or continuing a strength training program, individuals over 40 can look forward to healthier bodies, better physical function and improved overall well-being.

After coming back from deployment with the US Army in 2008, Holiday began his functional fitness career. He sustained an injury to his Achilles in 2011 while training for The Games that diverted his path from athletic self-mastery to one of service in 2011. He explored the teachings of world philosophies, religions, nutrition, and modern sciences and dove head first into coaching and business development. There, he was confronted with the common challenges of athletes plateauing in their progress and/or sustaining injuries plus, not to mention member retention, acquisition and staff disengagement issues on the business side.
After a few challenging years, several a-ha moments, and thousands of hours of research and development, he and his business partner Sean Buck created a system for gyms who are unwilling to compromise on the quality and integrity of their service. Level Method taps into a powerful emotional connection between members, their gym community, and their collective pursuit of excellence.
“The core of everything we do at Level Method is predicated on the concept of long-term, sustained health, and wellness of both the athlete and the gym businesses,” says Holiday. “Our growth isn’t due to flashy marketing and big budgets. It’s because it actually works, we’ve obsessively created something so many gym owners, coaches, and athletes have a need for. We give it our all.”
