    This is my first time watching this video. I’ve been living a sedentary lifestyle for a little bit too long. I’m looking to get back into cardio but start lightly to help relieve stress improve digestion and boost mood, etc… liked and subscribed. I’ll be coming back to this video and watching more advanced routines as I start gaining more cardio fitness. Thanks for the workout.

    Hi Sunny, awesome zone 2 cardio, much needed for women health, I need to reduce my pulse wave velocity in Oura and I got to know I need zone2 for atleast 20 mins a day, videos similar to this will be great, it was fun to working out, feels great now.

    Thank you Coach James for a awesome workout that gets the heart exercising

  29. @malathymuthu2210 on June 23, 2025 at 3:23 am

    Hi James, I tried this workout for 2 days and then your other body weight zone2 workout, in just 3days my Oura showed my pulse wave velocity decreased by .1 which means reversing the heart age by 6 months, adding this workout was the only change I did. Can I please please request for more of this workout? I have 2 of them, will like some more to rotate and do every day!

  30. @priyankapriyu3535 on June 23, 2025 at 3:24 am

    This is the beautiful cardio… Great job

  31. @erinelsner1413 on June 23, 2025 at 3:25 am

    This was great! Thanks. I love how you made a comment about how when we workout many have the "all or nothing" mindset but it’s not always about how hard we go. Such an important message.

  32. @edenellis8756 on June 23, 2025 at 3:26 am

    I scrolled through about 20 videos before this is the one i chose, it called out to me. Getting up and getting moving can be a challenge for me. Your jokes and humor kept things light and easy. Your energy rocks. Ill be back ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    Today is my frist time โค

  34. @CarolynDesign on June 23, 2025 at 3:28 am

    This was great. I’m getting back into exercising and wanted more zone 2 workouts to try to get that 150 minutes of cardio a week in. I did find this a little hard on my hips, but by subbing out the lift knee touch for a squat knee touch, it worked for my body.

  35. @dmolinah on June 23, 2025 at 3:30 am

    Thank you! Great to hear Cumbriaโ€™s in a work out haha

  36. @kenshiverse on June 23, 2025 at 3:30 am

  37. @laiths2006 on June 23, 2025 at 3:31 am

    The doctor told me in order to cut off my beta blockers i should train cardio and to run more is that cardio going to help me ?

  38. @Buruguduystunstuguduy on June 23, 2025 at 3:32 am

    How many times a week for beginers

  39. @5StringTheory on June 23, 2025 at 3:32 am

  40. @AntoineC.FerbosI on June 23, 2025 at 3:37 am

    Thanks for the workout. 2 months since my cancer surgery for my lung. Need to get back in shape. Keep the cardio’s coming. I feel motivated. I will keep up the work outs and advise you of my results. GOD bless us all.

    First timer. My weight-loss journey has been with ups & downs. I start doing exercise videos then stop then at it again. I get bored easily if theyโ€™re too long. This one is perfect.
    My message is Self-care. Everything else falls into place eventually ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

    Brilliant. I do this everyday!

  48. @BlackQueen.1 on June 23, 2025 at 3:48 am

    I enjoyed the Beginner -Zobe 2 Cardio Workout. I would love to see more videos like this one. It was low impact on my painful knees. I preferred the 20 minutes / 20 sec each round vs 30 minutes/ 20. ๐Ÿ‘

  49. @RobinGraves-g4z on June 23, 2025 at 3:49 am

    Loved it!! Found your workout when searching for a quick zone 2 workout I could do indoors due to bad air quality. Thank you!
