THIS PODCAST

We started podcasting before podcasting was really a thing!
We’ve seen it all: Skype, Zoom pre-COVID, and more.
Now, we want to take our show to the next level.
Keep on the lookout for videos attached to podcasts (with cooking, workouts, etc.), and live shows, too.
In the next few weeks, hopefully we will take phone calls, too.

EVENING STIFFNESS

Anna has been using her stationary bike.
She’s really been enjoying this exercise.
In the evening, she has some upper leg and lower back stiffness.
- It’s not lactic acid stiffness, but it’s her getting fit.
  - Do not fear, unless it is truly painful or immobile rather than just stiff.
Anna exercises in Zone 2, and goes on walks in addition.

LEARNING TO SKI

Vinnie really threw himself into skiing.
He threw himself on the ground in the bunny slope.
And then, he skied backwards.
- If you can do it backwards, you can do it forwards!
Vinnie made himself comfortable with falling and being uncomfortable.

TWITTER

Vinnie lost his mind at lunch with respect to Twitter

He WILL answer the same questions over and over to help out the new listeners and new followers
- He does this unapologetically
Today some people wanted to know what Zone 2 exercises Vinnie liked
- Jogging, cycling, elliptical, etc.
- Someone then asked if he could rank them from best to worst
  - That frustrates Vinnie
    - The best exercise is the one you are going to actually DO.
    - Every person is different

Hippie Stripper

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 594 – Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino host this Monday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast to discuss starting on NSNG, a hippie stripper named Shady Balsamic, and the two also talk to young Eli about his ski academy, and his time spent with Vinnie.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

STARTING ON NSNG

Woman Anna knows said she stopped eating sugar for 30 days with no positive result
- Did not feel better
- Likely there are a lot of hidden sugar and grains in her diet
- Hidden sugars in everything
When people can’t lose weight or even gain it, it is likely as a result of hidden stuff in their food
- People often snack too much too
- When they eat hidden sugar and grains, you are now eating high fat AND still lots of carbs
Call Vinnie to figure out where your hidden sugar and grains are
Need to do good NSNG for 60-90 days for REAL results for a lot of people
Ex: there is a ton of sugar in balsamic dressing
Grapes and Bananas have high glycemic indexes
- The most carby of the fruits (and tropical fruits too)
Macadamia nuts and walnuts are pretty high carb
- Rawer the nut, the better
If you have weight to lose, wine isn’t your friend
- Drink the distilled liquors
  - Drink them with soda water and maybe a few limes or a SPLASH of grapefruit juice

HIPPIE STRIPPER

Shady Balsamic
Balsamic dressing is not always good for you
Stripper v NFL player?
We’re going to call her a stripper

YOUNG ELI

Eli Wolfson is a kid that Vinnie trains
Is an incredible skier
- Goes to ski academy
- Combines school with training for ski racing at most elite level
- Goes to Chile in the fall, Europe for mid-winter
- This school sends kids to the Olympics, the World Cup, national teams, etc.
Eli would get sent home from school with a training plan over summer, and Vinnie would throw it away
- Vinnie thought the training plan was BS
Eli is super committed to what he does
Eli went to Andy’s house to learn about PVC
Next day, they went shooting and Eli was a natural
Eli now will eat bunless burgers from now on

PUSHUPS

Listener Barry has a friend serving in the Middle East who was injured (or so Vinnie thinks) and Barry does 20 good pushups a day to support him
Anna does lots of pushups
Anna can’t do a tricep pushup
- Tricep pushup is sort of a perceived effort, you will work triceps even with normal pushups
- Tricep pushups can give you elbow tendonitis
Anna doesn’t do burpees with jumps because it hurts her knee
- Still will have pretty much the same effect without the actual jump

Angriest Trainer 109: The Sinastr Interview

by Vinnie Tortorich

Vinnie and Anna interview the genius behind Sinastr, whose name we cannot reveal (because we don’t know it).

Michael Tortorich sums up the podcast in the My Uncle Vinnie Blog Wrap Up:

Vinnie leads off this episode talking about his epic day off. Later, Vinnie sets the record straight about his Oprah appearance. He agreed to participate in the “Where are they now” piece if they allowed him to mention this podcast and his book. Apparently, there was some sort of oversight, and all mention of the book and show ended up cut. I hope you’re sitting down…Vinnie gets quite angry over the whole deal. He calls out the usual suspects when it comes to ratings grabs, like Octomom and Dennis Rodman. Vinnie then mentions his involvement with The Tom Chenault Show. Later, they get Sinastr on the phone for a chat. Like Vinnie, Sinastr is also from Louisiana. Turns out, Sinastr saw himself in an unflattering light in a sex tape, and decided to make a change with his health. Weighing in at 270 pounds, he dropped all the way to 200. “You know how hard it is to lose one pound in southern Louisiana?” Vinnie asks. Why did Sinastr trust Vinnie? He didn’t have anything to sell.
