VINNIE’S HARDWARE STORE TRIP 

  • Vinnie was prepping his bike

  • Also needed spray paint, but couldn’t grab it off of the shelf
    • It was locked up!
    • Has to be locked up by law 
      • Must be 18+ to get Krylon
      • You can make something a law, but you can’t stop them from doing it
        • Same thing with guns — even if you lock up guns, evil people will get them, and shoot them
        • Same thing with SUGAR AND GRAINS!

PAM’S LETTER

  • The name Pam is dying out, do you think it is because of Pam spray?
  • Pam has gained weight on NSNG but her boyfriend, who is hardly doing it, has lost weight
  • Pam used to be a body builder — this can be bad for a person’s body
    • Many eat and live quite unhealthily
    • Lots of carbing up
    • She has gone away from these ideas, but some of the things still stuck
      • She was still trying to eat all the time and get carbs, even NSNG
      • At the end of the day she was eating 6 times a day
      • IM fasting is good!!!!

BREAKING BAD EATING HABITS AND NOT LYING TO YOURSELF

  • You can make mayo at home!
  • Easy to snack on what your kids don’t finish on their plate
  • Must be honest where hidden sugar and grains may be
  • Have to give NSNG a full 60 days with NLIL
  • Vinaigrette is touchy because lots of sugar
  • Men tend to get quicker results than men
  • Look at other positives that you get from NSNG if weight loss isn’t happening right away, and let that be enough while your body resets
    • Clearer skin, less asthma, less foggy, better sleep, etc
    • If after 6mos of strict NSNG, look at your hormones and everything

HUMMUS

The Gym

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

How to Keep Your Tush in Shape

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 547 – Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich host this Monday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast. The two discuss how to keep your “tush” in shape with exercise and NSNG.

“SHRIMPERS”

  • Men with foot fetish
  • Podofilia – sexual interest in feet
  • Classic Vinnie and Anna, taking things too far
  • “Toe Cleavage”

    • 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

  • 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
