As a 20+ year certified Spinning instructor this is probably the best explanation I've ever seen on KZbin 👍👍

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Thank you!! 💪🏻

[@tdwz1652]

best cardio free me back in the day was 6 cans of miller and a pack of smokes lol how things have changed

[@LoganKn]

I’m a fairly muscular and strong person, but I just got a dirtbike for trail riding and I am realizing I have a lot of cardio work to do if I wanna ride more 😅

[@arwiodense6222]

Much appreciated info! Good stuff.

[@damonforrest1570]

I really liked the video. It was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.🤙 I’m 48 years old trying to get back into motocross after 25 years but my body looks like it’s in shape to go race but inside I don’t have the strength.

[@wiggins1048]

Very well explained but I think race pace for the pros is more zone 5, they say the pros go at abt 94% of their max the whole time if they are one of the fastest pros, I know it’s probably not relevant to most people but I just wanted to see what you thought cause it’s useful to know how hard you need to train to be at the top

[@JacobPennisiMX]

For the pros, I would agree with you. The speeds they are going would warrant zone 5 in my opinion lol. Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@islanddoggear]

Still waiting on the next video!! This is great information and I ended up getting the polar this week. Ready to come up with a solid training strategy

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Glad you got the HR monitor going!! It will help your training so much! 💪🏻

[@chuckb337]

Never really knew how to be most effective using HR on the rower/ bike. Just would stay moderate pace and stop when stressed (Z4/5).Now I will measure and use hi range Z2- monitoring balance, form, and breathing for endurance. Same when out on the bicycle. 'Without knowing metrics, you can't measure improvement.' Thanks!

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Sorry to be so late getting back to you! I'm glad this has helped you improve the way you do cardio. I think you're gonna love the structure and the results!

[@Moffattfamily-316]

Thank you JP much appreciate the reply. Not sure why I can’t direct message back on your reply 🤷‍♂️

[@GregorMatheus]

Gracias por la informacion para mi todos son gigantes de ese deporte nos aportan bastantes.......!

[@reload7344]

Great content!!

[@mcnamee30]

Thanks for all of the detailed information!

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Of course, hope it helps!

[@sigmund720]

Good detailed video! If this is how all your videos are going to be there should be some amazing content

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback!

[@BSMALLZ]

Part 2 part 2!!! 💪🏽🤙🏽

[@JacobPennisiMX]

😏😏

[@tylerbob66]

I agree!! Part 2! Lol really enjoyed this video and easy to understand the information

[@PaveMarin]

When is the part 2

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Part 2 is in the works! I’m working on a couple other videos right now, once I Post those I’ll be working on part 2! Stay tuned! 💪🏻

[@Moffattfamily-316]

When do u move up from each zone? Do each one per wwwk or per day?

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Good question. I think of it like a check list each week. If I’m not riding at all, I’ll try to do 30-60 minutes of (zone 2) three times per week. I’ll also 1-2 sessions of HITT cardio that’ll be around 30 minutes long each session. This is where I get my zone 4 and zone 5, through sprints. I don’t train zone 3 hardly ever. If you ride a couple days per week, I would keep the zone 2 days and get rid of the interval days. The riding is now your zone 4 and 5 cardio. Let me know if you have more questions!

[@danehauser8675]

Did you wver release the next video where you show how to train in zone 2? I bought a concept 2 rower and would love a video showing good workouts. Right now im just doing 60 min workouts in zone 2 with 4-5 2 minute sprints every 10 minutes but have no idea if that is valuable or if i should just stay in zone 2 for the full hour. Thanks for the videos.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Hey good question. I have not made the part two video, but that can be a video I release in the next week or so! The part two would dive deeper into the second part of your question, but I can tell you that you would get more out of separating your intervals from your base cardio. Spend an hour in zone two and dedicate a separate session to intervals!

[@MercDoctor156]

when training in these zones, do you dedicate an entire cardio session to say, Z1-2? With duration being upwards of 2 hours, would you recommend knocking out a Z1-2 cardio session at the end of a normal gym workout to cool down the entire body? I've had a lot of trouble trying to establish a solid base because I feel as if I am not actively building the body if I do a Z1-2 cardio session! Thanks for the videos!

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Hey! Not sure how this comment slipped through the cracks, I'm so sorry I'm just seeing it now! That's a great question. I absolutely would dedicate an entire cardio session to a zone 1-2 ride. Usually I only use zone 1 if I'm really trying to recover from a big day the day before. Zone 1 rides I keep to about 30 minutes and it's purely just to warm up and flush the legs, the boosted circulation helps deliver nutritions and it just honestly makes you feel better. For the zone 2 cycling, I look at my weekly volume as a whole, and I like to separate them as much as I can from a gym workout like strength training because they are conflicting adaptations. So it's like asking two completely different things from your body, and you end up getting a less optimal version of each adaptation. For example, if I do a strength training session in the morning, I would try to wait until the afternoon to do my zone 2 cardio. Each time you do a zone 2 cardio workout, it's like laying a brick to your cardio foundation. The more bricks you lay, the stronger your foundation. Hope this helps! Jacob

[@pkdude5334]

the only problem with calling them brick workouts is triathletes use the same term when doing workouts that switch from one discipline to another (cycling to running)

[@JacobPennisiMX]

That’s a good point. Maybe I should come up with something else to call them. Any ideas lol?

[@pkdude5334]

​@@JacobPennisiMXzone 2, foundational? but then again when I think foundational I think core and trunk

[@darkiee69]

The theory doesn't apply to me. I had a max of 230bpm when I was 18, 204bpm at 45. So I guess it'll be around 195bpm now.

[@BSMALLZ]

Would love to see a detailed video on nutrition!! 🤙🏽👌🏽👍🏽

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Coming soon! Any specifics you’d like to see covered?!

[@BSMALLZ]

@@JacobPennisiMX days before the race , day of race, recovery nutrition. what supplements are worth it or work for you. Certain foods and certain drinks. Specifics!!! Thanks for acknowledging!! 👊🏽🤙🏽👍🏽

[@Thecorlees]

Mines arm pump

[@BlindingSun_]

Lift hard enough and you get free cardio

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Is that how it goes? lol. I just want to be jacked and ride dirt bikes ya know? ;)

[@BlindingSun_]

@@JacobPennisiMX yeah man just legit hit the weights, if you’re out of breath you’re getting cardio

[@BlindingSun_]

@@JacobPennisiMX my cousin and I tried it. I cycle 100miles every Saturday and have done since 1992. He’s done nothing but weight lift for the last ten years, we went out on a bike ride and he had better stamina, recovery, speed strength and endurance. We’re the same height and build genetically. Obvs he’s massive muscular wise but he absolutely destroyed me

[@JacobPennisiMX]

@@BlindingSun_ That's super interesting. I wonder if each pedal is just such a low percentage of his 1 rep max that his body just feels like it's barely putting out any effort. If there's one thing I know, there's a million ways to skin a cat/get the job done!

[@BlindingSun_]

@@JacobPennisiMX yeah true, cycling does a good job but yeah his legs are stronger than mine and mine are comparatively huge for my body lol, running is a waste of time though and destroys yours knees after the age of 30

[@agustinmendoza6949]

When you first tired in moto what are the ways to become easier for you to see eye to eye with what the things you had done wrong to what you needed to chang about in your self ? Outcome from your own being todays present time what are the resons you got tired ? Hmm that might help😮

[@agustinmendoza6949]

You really made no sence to or for me to get the video its what it is yhanks for the confusion but their is no room to seening it this way

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Hey I’m really sorry but I don’t understand your comment! Please try rephrasing your question so I can better help you!
