WHEN TO USE ANKLE WEIGHTS

  • Ankle weights are only really good for walking.
    • And, they’re really good to change your gait for lots of people.
  • They can be good for some quick strength training.
    • Vinnie used them to prepare for his mountain hiking.
      • Glacier boots are heavy, and when you add crampons there is more resistance, so he prepared himself for that with these weights.
        • However, he was really precise to make sure the weight was right.
      • Vinnie did this on the stair machine, still staying in Zone 2.
  • If you use these, use them for a specific purpose with the exact weight you need in the exact way that will train you for what you’re preparing for.
  • Having a specific process for a specific purpose is really important.
  • Just to keep your heart rate up when you’re walking, maybe don’t use ankle weights. Just stay in Zone 2.
  • For knee-elbow and other ground exercises, this would be a good use of ankle weights.

LET’S HELP KEN BERRY

  • Ken is huge in this community
  • He is having trouble

    • These fires are usually even worse than they look
  • He has a show coming out with Vinnie this coming Friday about his new book
    • You can check out his first appearance on this podcast here 
  • Ken has put out so much free content – we need to support him now
    • Our chance as a community to show our support
  • Please contribute directly to him here
    • https://www.paypal.me/kendberrymd
  • Even if you can only donate a tiny amount, it shows Ken there are people who care about him

RATIONAL WIKI BS

  • This website is technically a non-profit
  • It spews crap
  • Calls Vinnie a “cholesterol denier” and talks about whatever vitamin woo is
  • Says he features conspiracy theorists…
  • Says its objective, then uses language like “cranks”
  • Claims grains are healthy on it
  • Vinnie wants to sue

FAKE FITNESS INDUSTRY

  • Lots in the fitness industry do not practice what they preach
  • Chalene Johnson did an introspective podcast on this 
    • Said she didn’t practice  what she preached
  • Some of these people smoke around the clock! Kings and Queens of infomercials
  • They would eat unhealthily and then starve themselves for a few weeks before filming
