- He is in a number of documentaries
- First descent of Shark’s Fin
- Everest is a walk in the park for him
- He had a heart attack at 20,000 feet
- Now he is afraid of fat because Mayo Clinic told him so
- So aggravating as eating red meat does not cause heart disease!
- Really, he potentially had a heart attack because he has been eating crap for years and the “Death Zone” is dangerous
- Now he is afraid of fat because Mayo Clinic told him so
- The biggest bad-ass

ZONE 2 TRAINING
- Zone 1 – your heart rate is in between your resting heart rate and 69% of your possible heart rate
- Can achieve this by simply doing every day chores
- Walking around is zone 1
- Zone 2 is 70% – 79% of your possible heart rate
- Zone 3 is 80% – 89% of your possible heart rate
- Zone 4 is 90%-your maximum possible heart rate
- Zone 5 can only be for a very short time for people who are in incredible shape
- This is going beyond your redline
- Vinnie believes Zone 2 is the optimal zone to be in
- Exercise is a poor way to lose weight, but if you want exercise to burn fat, Zone 2 is the way to go
- You are burning fat, not worrying about sugar (you shouldn’t be consuming that much sugar that it should matter, anyway)
- Zone 2 is sustainable and reasonable, and it does not make you have cravings like Zone 3 or more can
