Episode 360: Exploring Aerobic Development & Concurrent Training with Jason Brown
from Flex Diet Podcast · host Jason Brown, Suzie Glassman, Jodie "Fabulous" Nelson, Dr Mike T Nelson
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I catch up with my good friend Jason Brown to dig into the intersection of strength training and aerobic development. We talk through how to implement aerobic conditioning in the real world, what zone two training actually is (and isn’t), and the pros and cons of different training methodologies. Jason shares his thoughts on concurrent training, functional movement, and how to improve performance without sacrificing long-term health. We also get into the realities of online coaching and how to structure training programs that support sustainable progress over time. If you’re looking to improve body composition, build muscle, and boost performance within a flexible, evidence-based framework, this episode will give you plenty to work with.Sponsors:Rogue: https://miket.me/rogueBeyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Meathead Cardio Course Level 1: Aerobic System https://miket.me/cardioFitness Insider Newsletter: https://miketnelson.com/Episode Chapters:04:26 Jason Brown Introduction and Background04:58 Transition to Online Training07:16 Challenges and Adaptations in Online Coaching15:01 Assessment and Customization in Training19:46 Importance of Aerobic Conditioning21:38 Heart Rate Monitoring and Technology32:36 Debunking Myths and Misconceptions40:13 Personal Training Evolution40:29 Aerobic Training Benefits40:56 Training Philosophy and Methods41:54 Zone Two Training Debate43:23 Stress and Training Adaptations44:24 Creative Conditioning Approaches57:02 Concurrent Training Insights01:04:26 Programming and Practical Experience01:14:36 Final Thoughts and RecommendationsEpisodes You Might Enjoy:Episode 326: Row Hard, Breathe Easy: Boosting Aerobic Capacity with Dr. Kenneth JayYouTube: https://youtu.be/hpvKokMBRv4?si=sL-dFZ2reY_W5RWVEpisode 335: Grip, Guts & Gas Tanks: Aerobic Training for Meatheads with Levi EarlYouTube: https://youtu.be/S13JxU57-sk?si=phRGaQSaN0SnXnsOConnect with Jason:Website: https://www.jasonbrowncoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jasonbrowncoachingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasonbrowncoachingGet In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/ Get the Daily Fitness Insider newsletter (free): https://www.miketnelson.com/newsletter
