by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1939 – Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich this Monday to discuss snakes, gaining muscle mass, love languages, Vinnie’s and Serena’s birthdays, staying in ketosis, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SNAKES

  • Vinnie has now killed two copperheads in his backyard and on his street.
  • His dog has come fairly close.
  • Hopefully, Vinnie’s extra strength helped him kill these venomous creatures quickly.

GAINING MUSCLE MASS

  • Vinnie has gotten stronger.
    • He’s feeling good!
      • Recently, he’s gained a bit of muscle.
  • He went to Gina Grad’s wedding yesterday.
    • Initially, when he tried on some of his old jackets and pants, they were tight.
      • His lats were too big!
  • Vinnie’s done this by spending a little bit of time in the gym each day.
    • It’s happened fairly quickly, and you can do it, too.
  • On the day this show airs, Vinnie turns 59 years old.
    • Don’t let age be an excuse.
    • You don’t have to lose too much muscle mass as you age.

Health Mindsets, Zone 1, & More – Episode 1659

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1659 – On this Monday show, Vinnie and Anna talk Marie’s recovery, health mindsets, Zone 1 exercise, hospital dietary guidelines, workout tips, and more. The two also play a lot of great music. (Is Shania involved? Stay tuned to find out.)

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HEALTH MINDSETS

  • When it comes down to it, training someone who doesn’t want to put in the work is terrible.
  • You have to want to lose the weight more than anything.
  • This lifestyle is easy once you start –– the hard part is starting.
  • You need to want it badly enough to give up the sugar and get over the addiction.
    • It needs to be your priority, and you have to be ready to listen and learn.
  • Stop saying “well I’ll do that but not this…,” etc.
    • Trying to cheat the system will not work.

ZONE 1 EXERCISE

  • Zone 1 is also effective exercise.
  • It gets your fat stores burning like Zone 2.
  • Up to 69% of your aerobic capacity is Zone 1.
  • House work, pushing your lawn mower, walking your dog are all in Zone 1.
    • Vinnie would argue it’s as heart healthy as Zone 2.
      • Zone 2 just may be more efficient for training and the like.
      • Your CO2 capacity may not grow as quickly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good.
  • If you’re not at a Zone 2 level, start with Zone 1. It’s still great.

Running Races From Home – Episode 1588

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1588 – Gina Grad joins Vinnie for this Sunday School episode, and the two talk running races from home, improving performance through fat adaptation, Barbies, working out slow and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

RUNNING RACES FROM HOME

  • Andy, Gina’s fiancé, was supposed to run the LA marathon.
    • It was cancelled because of the pandemic.
  • So, he and his friend in San Francisco woke up in their respective city’s one morning and ran a marathon that day.
  • They did it as if they were actually doing the race.
  • If you were planning on doing a 5k, a 10k, a half, a full, or something else and it was cancelled, you can still do it!
    • You don’t need an official race to get it done.
  • Andy did it without carbing up, and this was his best time ever.
    • He has seen his performance improve steadily as he becomes more fat adapted.
  • Start slow–otherwise, you will burn out.
    • Run/walk a mile in zone 2 to start.
    • Schedule a phone consult with Vinnie to come up with a plan for you.

Quarantine Questions – Episode 1583

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1583 – On this Sunday School episode, the wonderful Gina Grad joins Vinnie to discuss name etymology and answer quarantine questions about frozen vegetables, baking bread, at-home exercises and stretches, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

QUARANTINE QUESTIONS

  • Not a big difference between fresh and frozen veggies for all intents and purposes.
    • Generally, the fresh will taste better.
  • If you’re buying fresh, just wash it right away or don’t touch it for a few days!
  • Frozen veg, however, is a good option if you’re concerned.
    • You’re not lacking nutrients.
  • If you bake bread, it may be a bit better than store-bought, but it will still cause inflammation and it’s still made from grain!
