What you need
Steps
Clear a space about 2 metres wide and keep water within reach. Wear supportive shoes or go barefoot on a non-slip floor.
Warm up for 3 to 5 minutes with easy marching in place, slow arm circles and gentle shoulder rolls to raise your heart rate.
Start the main workout and follow the on-screen moves. Keep the pace steady so you can still speak in short sentences.
Use low impact versions of each move: step side to side instead of jumping, and keep both feet close to the floor.
Engage your core and keep your posture tall. Breathe steadily rather than holding your breath during effort.
Check in every few minutes with the talk test. If you cannot say a short sentence, slow down or reduce your range of motion.
Take a 30 to 60 second break whenever you need one, then rejoin at a slower pace. Steady movement matters more than speed.
Aim for 15 minutes on your first session, then build toward 30 and 45 minutes over the next few weeks.
Cool down for 3 to 5 minutes with slow walking and gentle stretches for your legs, hips and shoulders.
Tips and common mistakes
Zone 2 is a feel, not a number. Use the talk test and treat any tracker zone reading as a rough guide.
Stop and rest if you feel dizzy, short of breath or have chest pain, and check with a doctor before starting a new routine if you have health concerns.
Keep movements controlled instead of fast to protect your knees and lower back.
Drink water before, during and after the session, especially in a warm room.
Questions
What counts as Zone 2 cardio?
Moderate aerobic effort you can hold for a long time. You should be breathing harder than normal but still able to speak in short sentences.
Do I need equipment or a large space?
No. The workout uses bodyweight moves only. A small clear area and some water are enough.
How often should I do this workout?
Two to three sessions a week is a good start for most beginners. Add walking or light strength work on other days and rest when you feel sore.
