Kristi, thanks for this post. Really appreciate how you’ve framed zone zero as a legitimate and powerful training zone rather than ‘not real exercise.’ The focus on sustainability really resonates with me. My own routine is built almost entirely around this idea: 6,000+ slow to moderate steps a day plus 10–20 minutes of gentle daily rebounding. It’s simple, repeatable, and I’ve found it much easier to stay consistent than when I chased harder cardio sessions. Your article helped validate that this kind of low‑intensity, high‑frequency movement is not just ‘good enough,’ but actually a smart long‑term strategy.”
I’m so glad to hear you’ve found a sustainable path to movement that works for you, and I’m honored you shared it here. I didn’t touch on it in the piece, but I think it’s important to acknowledge that there are people for whom intense cardio isn’t just unsustainable but must be approached with extreme caution. We all need to find what works for our bodies. 🙏
