Staying In The Zone

  • Vinnie shares a story about getting some differences in strength and fitness in different activities. (5:00)
    • He shares how even very fit people can struggle in activities they don’t do often.
    • There is a way to strengthen your cardio and boost mitochondria to increase endurance. (15:00)
    • Zone 2 training can make a big difference.
    • Zone 1 is up to 69% of your aerobic capacity. An example would be a light walk or gardening.
    • Zone 2 is 70-79% of aerobic capacity.
    • Zone 3 is 80-89% of aerobic capacity.
    • Zone 4 is 90-100% aerobic capacity.
    • Zone 2 is a favorite because it’s the range at which your body is still burning fat.
    • HIIT training typically relies on sugar-burning.
    • Calculate your Zone 2 by taking 180 – your age +/- 5 (depending on your activity level).
    • If you are a sedentary person, subtract 5. If you are generally active, you can add the 5.
  • Vinnie talks to a lot of obese people; however, they shouldn’t worry about Zone 2 just yet. Focus on getting yourself to just move and do what you can do. (28:00)
    • Wearing a heart rate monitor can help.

Puttanesca Public Relations

  •  They switch to talk about Anna’s Pumpkin Marinara and stores where it will be available. (36:00)
    • She tells a story about the production and a challenge she ran into.
    • No matter what happens, she wants customers to get the very best flavor and not mess around!
  • Getting into grocery stores is an interesting thing. (41:00)
    • She is trying to get the word out on her sauces, especially what Puttanesca is. 
      • Puttanesca is a wonderful flavor with kalamata olives and capers for an extra savory experience!
  • She is running a special deal where you can get cash back from her. Listen for the details! (45:30)
  • A viral trend that Anna participated in is a fabulous-looking onion and cheese crisp recipe, “frico”. She shares what it is and how she makes it. (50:00)
  • Vinnie has a little fun with redoing the intro to the show. (54:00)

LESSENING INFLAMMATION

  • When Vinnie’s mom had her surgery, her knee was incredibly swollen.
  • She thought the inflammation was a result of the broken leg.
  • Vinnie said it should be a little swollen, but not so swollen.
  • When Vinnie arrived, he restocked the fridge with high fat cheese, olives, sausages and pastrami, and more.
  • Once she started eating these foods instead of sugars and grains, the inflammation and swelling went way down.
    • Within 9 days, the cast was falling off.

STAYING ACTIVE

  • Working out is a poor way to lose weight.
  • However, staying active is important.
  • Don’t not make time for exercise.
  • Move from one sport to the next to the next.
  • Letting life get in the way is a good way to find yourself sedentary.
  • Everyone can stay in shape.
  • Walking is great for this!
