- Vinnie says walking affects total fitness, even at a Zone 1 pace.
- Vinnie fits in walking while doing consults and doesn’t even count that towards his weekly goal of exercise.
- Gina says she now stands during the recording of the Adam Carolla Show, just to make sure she is sitting less throughout the day.
- Vinnie gives an example of his friend Don Coddington’s training for climbing Mont Blanc.
GETTING OUT INTO NATURE

- Nature is necessary to soothe the soul.
- Vinnie totally agrees and gives Gina many suggestions of where to hike in the Mammoth Lakes area.
- He then gives Gina even more suggestions for hikes in the Southern California region.
