Hate the gym? Don’t want to break a sweat? There’s a new fitness trend just for you — and it’s called Zone Zero.
Zone Zero movement is ultra low-intensity activity — so low, your heart rate never even gets above half its maximum. Translation: it’s so easy, you could be doing it by accident.
We’re talking things like:
- Stretching at your desk 🖥️
- Slow walking 🚶♀️
- Yoga 🧘♂️
- Gentle cycling 🚲
- Even tidying, cooking, or shopping 🛒
And while it won’t replace the 75 minutes of high-intensity or 150 minutes of moderate exercise experts recommend each week, it’s still a win. Benefits include lower stress, better circulation, mental clarity, and even helping your digestion.
Think of it as “active rest” — perfect for people who want to start moving without feeling like they’re training for a marathon. And who knows? It could be your gateway to something more intense… or at least more than walking from the couch to the fridge.
