Maffetone Method

The Maffetone Method is a training approach developed by Dr. Phil Maffetone that emphasizes building aerobic fitness and improving overall health. It focuses on training at a low heart rate to enhance endurance and fat-burning efficiency while reducing the risk of injury. The method encourages individuals to find their optimal heart rate (often calculated by subtracting their age from 180) and train within that range. This promotes a balanced approach to fitness, incorporating proper nutrition, recovery, and stress management, ultimately leading to improved athletic performance and a healthier lifestyle.
