Starting Where You’re At

  • First: Vinnie’s NSNG® VIP Group opens up January 2, 2026! Vinnie’s workout videos, group calls, and supportive community are waiting for you, FREE to all members who join!
  • What is the biggest mistake people tend to make going into a new workout routine? (3:30)
    • People tend to quit going to the gym after only two weeks or so after signing up.
    • They use excuses even though they feel better while exercising.
  • DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is another reason people stop. (10:00)
    • This feeling will happen less and less as you become more consistent and stronger.
  • Start where you are and work up—you don’t need to go hard right away. (15:00)
    • Don’t be intimidated by others and where they are in their journey.
  • You don’t have to go to a gym all the time. If you don’t have time for the gym, try some body-weight exercises. (22:30)
  • When to eat protein and how much? (32:00)
    • In general: 120-150g per day for average-height men, for average-height women, 85g-120g per day. (32:00)
    • It’s OK if you go a little over on some days.
    • Eating something in the morning boosts your metabolism. However, it doesn’t take much.
  • What about sleep and recovery? (36:00)
  • How to become disciplined? (39:00)
    • A lot of it is attitude, and your attitude can change.
  • How do you know when you are doing enough, especially when you hit a “plateau”? (45:00)
    • When exercising, plateaus happen when you don’t change enough.
    • Changing up the muscle stimulation will help.
    • They discuss a “starting strength workout.”
  • And finally: Be careful with the bro-science you’ll see and hear on the internet. (54:00)
