Episode 2563 - On this Wednesday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss resolutions, results, that now is the time to start becoming active, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/11/now-is-the-time-episode-2563 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Now Is The Time Competition for the nickname “Gran Torino.”(2:00) Updates on one of Vinnie’s resolutions. (4:00) He tries to listen to audiobooks. He will often do zero “life into living” to show solidarity for those he’s trying to help. Each year, he tries to get in 365 hours of aerobics, minimum. Next year, Vinnie might switch up his exercise goals. (9:00) His recent cancer challenge has made him rethink his goals. Vinnie encourages you to start transmuting into your goals now instead of waiting for the new year. (17:00) Time is a construct of humans; any time is a good time to start, so start now. Having resistance to change is a clue to start it now, not to procrastinate. Getting Started Chris asks about testosterone levels. (20:00) Creatine is a good thing. (23:00) Studies are showing how it helps with cellular health. Chris talks about testosterone, sex drive, mood, eating whole foods, sleep, and getting proper nutrients. (24:00) The more you learn about your natural hormone levels, the better. Vinnie knows athletes who would use high doses of steroids, and he has seen a lot of unhealthy results over the years. Even Joe Bonnadonna, Vinnie’s mentor in his younger years, would tell Vinnie not to use them—and Joe used them! Rucking is another way Vinnie gets strength and cardio in. (42:00) They discuss the difference between having an actual rucksack versus using a backpack with weights. (43:00) What should you expect as you shift to a weightlifting focus? (53:00) The idea is to progress, but you also need to know when to rest. Rest is part of the progress. (56:00) Keep track with a notepad and pencil or an app, but track your progress so you can assess. Start with where you’re at, and just try a little further each time. (1:03:00) For example, Chris’ grandfather had knee surgery, and each day, he would try to go just a little bit further. Body weight exercises can help, too, if you can’t or are hesitant to join a gym.

Episode 2562 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss his interest in fitness at a young age, and Vinnie gives you a "weightlifting 101" and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/11/weightlifting-101-episode-2562 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Where It Began There’s a chat about music and cowboy boots. (2:00) Vinnie used to love "ski skates." (6:00) A little backstory on Vinnie’s early interest in sports. (9:00) He loved the show "The Wide World of Sports" while growing up in the 1970s and '80s. This is how he got introduced to Jack LaLane. He started mimicking what he was learning. Weightlifting 101 You’ll want to take notes. (27:00) Both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) training are important. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (29:00) It’s important to balance with both pushing and pulling movements. Compound movement is moving more than one joint at a time. (31:30) Auxiliary exercises are good for isolation and definition but aren’t as necessary as compound movements. (34:30) Compound movements will also save you time. Reps and Sets (39:00) Vinnie has tried various protocols. He describes what his preferred method is. He likes three sets: one for warm-up, one for just short of failure, and one until failure. Do not go to failure when you are alone for moves like bench presses when doing free weights, etc. Do not drop or throw your weights around—you’ll just look like an asshole. (42:00) You don’t have to go to failure if you’re noticing an increase in strength over time. Leg Day Never skip Leg Day. (45:30) His four preferred exercises for this are squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press. He picks at least three of the four every time. He describes a twice-a-week workout, which can work great for maintaining muscle strength. (50:00) Basic bodyweight exercises can be effective, too! Where there is a will, there’s a way!

Episode 2550 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss what it means to "take the garbage out," the importance of exercise, share a giveaway, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=33343017] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Take the Garbage Out First of all, NO, Vinnie does NOT know P. Diddy or anything about him, so please stop asking him. (2:00) Just because he worked with a few celebrities years ago doesn’t mean he knows all of them. Vinnie recently interviewed a guest named Ken Coleman, which will air in a couple of weeks. (4:00) Stoicism is an ancient philosophy and practice that advocates building emotional resilience and having a virtuous life. (6:00) Joe Dean was a big influence on Vinnie. (8:00) Vinnie repeats a lesson about “taking out the garbage.” A movie Vinnie recommends a movie called “23 Blast.” (20:00) Anyone can do anything at any given time—you just have to want it. (21:00) You can use this attitude to lose weight and other goals. Anna relays a story where she is being told certain things are impossible. (22:00) At some point, you have to stop listening to the nay-sayers. Vinnie reminds listeners that he is traveling to Washington, DC, as part of the Metabolic Revolution on October 13, 2024. (33:00) You can scroll down in the show notes for more details. Weight Loss & Exercise Anna’s Eat Happy Italian drops tomorrow, October 8, 2024. (37:00) Pre-order it and help it get more traction! Vinnie shares an example of a caller having trouble understanding parts of NSNG®. (46:00) The person was concerned because they hadn’t been losing weight yet; however, in speaking to the person further, they were still including grain products like pasta and bread. NSNG® is a lifestyle change. You can’t just use bits and pieces of it and expect success. Anna reads an article regarding fat and exercise from Rhonda Patrick, who is a Ph.D. biochemist and addresses nutrition and fitness. (52:00) The article validates what Vinnie always says, which is that exercise is the fountain of youth. (56:00) Don’t just stop at weight loss, thinking you don’t have to exercise. Exercise is not about losing weight! (57:00) Be as healthy as you can until you die; avoid a prolonged decline. (1:01:30) They discuss drinking alcohol. (1:04:00) A GIVEAWAY!
