I have questions on Zone 2 training. I am a lifelong exerciser (just turned 60!!) and I would love for you to put out a sample of what a "normal" week of exercise looks like when doing the right dose of Zone 2 training. I've read articles about it but I still have questions. I am always amazed at how well you can explain things in a way that a lay person can understand. Thanks.
Hi Huberman Lab Team Thanks for all the great content you guys put out, its really interesting and helpful for me and most likely to the rest of your listeners. I'm trying to understand the relationship between self-discipline and motivation. Dr. Huberman mentioned that we can leverage our dopamine to increase our levels of motivation by primarily increasing our general baseline dopamine levels (thus increasing our overall feeling of motivation), and also by attaching a dopamine increase above baseline to certain tasks and behaviours (thus making a particular task very rewarding and increasing the craving we have for the task while we aren't engaging in it). As a student completing a Double Major in Finance & Accounting in Australia, I'm finding it really difficult to remain disciplined and complete the readings, lectures, tutorial work etc that I'm required to if I want to do well. The reason for this is that I'd say I'm not that interested in the subject. I was wondering if you could advise a particular mantra, routine or some sort of script to help students who are struggling with the same feelings of lethargy and disinterest in the content we are learning (trust me there are many students in this boat ahah).
