LIVING AN OPTIMAL LIFE

  • Vinnie and Anna have gone over the basics of NSNG® nutrition; now it’s time to go over exercise.
  • There is no doubt that exercise will help you live not only a “normal” life but an optimal one!
    • Vinnie goes over what he recently saw at the gym; how even when some people are at the gym they are not really working out, especially if they are “death scrolling”.
    • In earlier years, it was the norm for people to be active all day; but now our modern lifestyles have trained us to be weak.
    • Vinnie and Anna chat about recent goals and talk about being “fit to do what”.
  • This leads to chatting a bit about CrossFit and Lance Armstrong and the issues Vinnie has with them. (20:30)
  • Anna tells Vinnie about what she has been doing for her exercise goals and how she is doing so far this year. (27:40)
    • She’s also added cold plunging, and now she can’t imagine starting her morning without it.
    • Anna loves challenges because it is good to put one’s body under hormetic stress.
    • It’s also good because it helps you address where you may need to make adjustments.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT

  • Vinnie goes over why weight training is so important, and the best kinds of moves to do. (39:20)
    • You don’t have to go hardcore–just start from where you are and make incremental improvements.
    • He gives a general way to think about how much weight and repetitions to do.
    • He also addresses abs/core.
  • They discuss the very important issue of bone health, especially as we age. (48:45)
    • Vinnie explains the distinction between weight bearing and weight lifting.
    • Things like cycling and swimming are good for you, but are not weight-bearing, so it doesn’t improve bone strength.
  • You cannot afford NOT to exercise. (54:40)
    • It used to be people would get 12 hours of activity a day due to the type of work there was.
    • Now people balk at the idea of getting even 7 hours in a week!
  • Eating a low-carb lifestyle along with exercise will magnify your weight loss and health results!
  • Anna adds that there is a mental transition that often occurs that makes people want to move more, even when they hadn’t been active or athletic before in their lives. (55:00)
  • There are a few more comments about things like TRX and other exercises and how they can be helpful and/or convenient.
  • Also, listen for the May promo code for NSNG® Foods’ UltraFat offer!
