All of it: the words, the place, the proof
A weak aerobic base caps VO2max, fat oxidation, and mitochondrial density. Most people either train too hard to accumulate volume or too little to adapt; a coached Zone-2 block builds the engine that underlies both healthspan and everyday energy. No honesty-limit caveat needed: confirmed directly from PubMed's own record (via NCBI eutils, PMID 20861519) that Stephen Seiler, sole author of "What is best practice for training intensity and duration distribution in endurance athletes?" (Int J Sports Physiol Perform. 2010;5(3):276-291) -- the widely-cited review that established the polarized training-intensity-distribution model this standard's own standard_ref names directly -- is affiliated with the Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. A fifth tile, genuinely distinct from the existing Denver (national baseline), Indianapolis (ACSM, the national professional body), Stockholm (GIH/Åstrand, the field's founding European institution), and Dallas (Cooper Institute, the field's own American founding figure) tiles -- Kristiansand is this standard's own named "polarized" model's own foundational author's institution, a fifth distinct category.

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- heart-rate monitor
- any steady-state modality (walk incline / bike / row / ruck)
- stopwatch
- optional fingertip lactate meter
Steps
- 1. Estimate the Zone-2 ceiling: the highest effort at which full sentences are still speakable without gasping (talk test), or ~60-70% of HR reserve, or lactate <2 mmol/L if measured.
- 2. Warm up 5-10 min ramping into the low end of the zone.
- 3. Hold steady-state effort inside the zone for the prescribed duration; correct pace to keep HR and breathing at the ceiling, not above.
- 4. If a lactate meter is used, spot-check mid-session to confirm <2 mmol/L; drop pace if higher.
- 5. Cool down 5 min; record average HR, duration, modality, and (if measured) lactate.
- 6. Log the session and the weekly Zone-2 minutes accrued; photograph the HR/duration summary and sign it.
- 7. Record any beta-blocker or other rate-controlling medication; if present, do not apply age-predicted %-max-HR zones or standard heart-rate thresholds — anchor intensity with RPE and the talk test instead.
What counts as done
- Per-session average HR, duration, and modality inside the Zone-2 ceiling
- Weekly Zone-2 minutes accrued toward the 150-180 min/week target
- Talk-test or lactate confirmation that effort stayed at the ceiling
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1789317016474_2mhvgt4","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
