The Gym

OLD GYMS

  • Gyms used to have names like “Vinnie’s Gym”
  • Gyms were often separated by gender
    • Women had a few hours they would work out
    • Men had the rest
  • Gyms used to be like very large work out rooms with few machines and steam rooms and pools etc., separate section for men and women
  • Rudimentary squat rack, punching bag, rope, pull up devices

NEW GYMS

  • Vinnie still marvels at all that gyms like 24 hour Fitness have
  • By and large, a lot of trainers at gyms are not the best trainers
  • Crazy stuff at new gyms, elliptical machines that work muscles you hardly need
    • People doing exercises that they don’t really need and disrupt other people in the gym
    • People pushing around plyometrics boxes around for exercise when you have a million machines that do the same things better
  • Concept 2 Rower — how to use a rowing machine correctly

“SHRIMPERS”

  • Men with foot fetish
  • Podofilia – sexual interest in feet
  • Classic Vinnie and Anna, taking things too far
  • “Toe Cleavage”
  • Gay sex – how do you decide who gets to be on the bottom?
    • Question of the day: Should Anna have lesbian sex?

THE FACTS OF LIFE

  • Kim Fields (Tootie) is hot now!
  • They didn’t know what to do with Natalie (Mindy Cohn) when she got boobs
  • Too Close For Comfort is another one of these shows

HOW TO KEEP YOUR TUSH IN SHAPE

  • People want that big butt with the skinny leg
  • Some women do the waist trainers for that hourglass figure
  • The girls working on their butts with weights and such are the ones who will get the nice tushes.
  • Throw leg press and hack squats in there
  • When you do a squat with a bar on your shoulders, you want to do a normal, parallel feet squat, NOT a pile squat
    • your butt has to kind of poke out then
  • Squat- stand over the kettle bell
    • Eyes straight forward
    • Let your hands go to the kettle ball with your hands and hips freely bent
    • Hold kettle bell between your legs and keep coming down with it
    • Working hamstring, quads, and buttocks
  • Good lunges
  • Do “butts” 2-3 times with a day in between
    • This is for any anaerobic exercise

Oprah and Weight Watchers

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 544 – Vinnie Tortorich and cohost Andy Schreiber talk Studio City and Oprah’s Weight Watchers endorsement as well as Vinnie’s appearances on Oprah’s show on this Wednesday episode of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

STUDIO CITY

  • A lot of gay men in the area
    • Vinnie believes this has “enhanced” the neighborhood
  • This is where Andy lives
  • Also a lot of Jewish people in this neighborhood — LA has quite a lot of Jews

*SHOUTOUT TO TIM PAGEN, YOU’RE THE MAN!

OPRAH AND WEIGHT WATCHERS

  • Vinnie respects her, but she is not the person to look to for weight loss
  • Vinnie and she are not friends, even though he was on the show
  • When Vinnie was on Oprah, he was totally taken care of
    • check out this cougar show with Vinnie’s pants if you haven’t seen them
  • Oprah endorses Weight Watchers in a commercial in which she has a lot of excess weight
    • She is getting paid for this
    • She caused a big stir, especially on the Facebook page, when she put out a tweet about how she “loves bread” and gets to eat bread Weight Watchers
    • Smart investment for Oprah because Weight Watchers makes their money from their clients’ failures
  • Weight Watchers’ business plan from 2001: “Its members have demonstrated a consistent pattern of repeat enrollment of a number of years, signing up for an average of 4 cycles”
    • IT DOESN’T WORK! And that’s why Weight Watchers makes so much money
  • Vinnie was promised endorsement of his podcast by Oprah’s people, never got it
    • Oprah is on his “shit list”

Being Gluten Free and F*** Quinoa

by Vinnie Tortorich

: 542 – Listener Meaghan KNS joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss being gluten free, running, race, podcasts and the bad qualities of quinoa* today on the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.

*fuck quinoa

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

MEAGHAN

  • She has a confusing last name!
  • Her husband is from Morocco, they have beautiful children
  • She went to James Madison in Virginia
  • Meaghan knew Vinnie had to be on the Dr. Drew show
  • She is very involved in podcasts and running

BEING GLUTEN FREE

  • Meaghan went to Runner’s World Festival (4 races in three days (1/2 marathon))
    • Generally, people want to “carb up” before races
    • At this conference she went to they had a gluten free pasta option
  • Often, Gluten-Free marked foods are quite processed
    • eat REAL food, not foods that have to be marked gluten free if you can
  • It is frustrating when everyone asks if she eats “Quinoa” because she is gluten free
    • She said “Fuck Quinoa”
    • Even Quinoa can make you inflamed

RACE & TRIATHLONS

  • There is resistance to black women wanting to run/do triathlons simply because their hair can be hard to deal with and requires a lot of work
    • Meaghan thinks it is healthy and good to discuss race and gender and it makes the world interesting that people are different
  • Vinnie loves people of all races, genders, religions even if he rants or makes comments :)

    • nothing before this was sustainable
