The TRUTH About ZONE 3

In this video, I discuss the ever-controversial Zone 3, or the dreaded "grey zone." Should you be avoiding this zone? Are you wasting your time? Let's talk about it!

A quick point of clarification, I realized when playing back the video upon posting that the way that I phrased the conversation about not burning subcutaneous fat in Zone 2 could be a bit misleading; especially for those interested in nerding out on the biological processes. I wanted to convey that Zone 2 training does not simply use body fat to fuel workouts, as some people will suggest. However, I did not mean to imply that adipose tissue does not have any contribution at all to fat oxidation. In addition to intramuscular triacylglycerides, cholesterol, and dietary fat, there is some lipid contribution from subcutaneous fat for fatty acid oxidation. This doesn't negate the point that I made, but I want to ensure that the science is properly represented.
