Addiction, Meditation, and Muscle

  • Vinnie and Anna analyze the opening lines of ‘No Sugar Tonight’ by The Guess Who, discussing how it relates to sugar addiction.

  • They explore proper breathing techniques and the challenges of maintaining focus during meditation.
  • She talks with Vinnie about breath control and devices that can be used to improve the strength of breathing muscles and increase the volume of lung oxygen intake for endurance performance. (00:11:31)
  • The Calm App is available in most app stores.  The breath control devices mentioned are available at https://4breatheeasy  and https://expand-a-lung.com/. You can find similar devices on Amazon in Vinnie’s items mentioned https://amzn.to/3DSJG0L
  • Vinnie discusses a picture he recently posted to Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/p/DEiT3pyyE3I/  recently sent to him, of a 508 Training ride on Town Pass in Death Valley in August of 2008, remembering he saw temperatures reach 120 Degrees that day!  (00:40;38)

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)

  • Vinnie knows athletes who would use high doses of steroids, and he has seen a lot of unhealthy results over the years.
