GYMS

• Gyms used to be named things like “Vinnie’s Gym”, “Joe’s Place”
• Now gyms are called things like Ultra Gym, we have pilates, spinning, etc.
• People still getting fatter: exercise is a poor way to lose weight 
• Gyms tend to preach calorie in – calorie out theory

FAT ADAPTATION

• Serena can run marathon lengths without any extra sugar
• Breakfast is good as long as it is heavy fat, not heavy sugar
• Obesity increase and exercise increase are directly proportional
• Dieting works better than the above, according to study
• Aerobic activity spurs want to eat, spurs sweet-teeth
• Once you become fat adapted, the craving slows down and eventually stops

HEART RATE MONITORS

• Fit bits tell you steps etc, but aren’t the best for this type of training
• Best (affordable) heart rate monitors are Polar, Ironman
• Simple is good

PIERCE BROSNAN

• Tallulah’s commencement speaker was Pierce Brosnan
• Vinnie would have preferred Richie Sambora
• Pierce made his speech into a political statement
• Said he was a PhD but was really only honorary
• Put on too much of a show but at least he’s beautiful
• Tallulah’s classmates will change the world
