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.
