NSNG® Foods Nut Butters & Zone 2 Benefits – Episode 1629

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1629 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk stealing, muling drugs, Zone 2 benefits, the upcoming NSNG® Foods nut butters, Anna’s marinara, and answer some listener questions, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ZONE 2 BENEFITS

  • Many people ask why Zone 2 is better than Zone 3.
  • When you start hitting Zone 3 or 4, you’re not really burning fat, just sugar.
    • So, the issue with burning sugar is that your body *does* need a certain amount of sugar at a time.
      • You can get this with a lot of protein or some veggies, but why do this if it isn’t necessary?
  • The more exercise you do, the easier it’ll be for you to stay in Zone 2.

NSNG® FOODS NUT BUTTERS

  • We are going to have energizing butters, all NSNG®.
  • We use almond butter, coconut oil, and electrolytes from Pure Vitamin Club.
  • There are two flavors ––
    • The second has some Pure Coffee Club Honey Process coffee.
  • These butters have THE BEST ingredients around.
  • You’re getting everything you need as an athlete in this one product.
  • We are launching this with our NSNG® Summit.
    • Sign up for this FREE, LIVE Summit featuring tons of experts.

ANNA’S MARINARA

  • Anna is also coming out with a jarred marinara that is NSNG®!
  • This is one of the only ones that doesn’t have added sugar.
  • It has Villa Cappelli in it and is dairy free.
  • Her new company is called Eat Happy Kitchen.

NSNG® Drinks and Training Over Time – Episode 1249

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1249 – Anna Vocino and Vinnie talk NSNG® drinks, training over time for aerobic events, Vinnie’s profuse sweating, gym confrontation, eating according to how one feels, and more on this Monday episode of the podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NSNG® DRINKS

  • Vinnie doesn’t drink much
  • Has water and coffee regularly
  • Loves his soda stream to make fizzy water
    • The carbonation is really satisfying
  • He’ll also make ginger tea
    • Really just adds ginger root (whizzed up, sometimes with HWC or butter) to near-boiling water
      • Ginger does help nausea (and has other medicinal purposes)
        • Helps him when he goes on the ocean – he gets very sea sick

TRAINING OVER TIME

  • Vinnie is going to climb Mont Blanc this summer
  • He has begun specific training for this
  • Did about 42 hours of on his feet training for this in January
    • Took 4 break days throughout the month (mostly for traveling, but he does believe in break days)
  • Does around an hour per day, or two on the weekends
  • Building up his aerobic fitness
  • On this particular regiment, he is going to do around 10% gains per month – i.e, doing 46 or 47 hours next month, and 52ish in March
    • Slow and steady!
  • Everything he did for this training in January was in Zone 2
  • Depending on your goals, you can train in other zones – it isn’t ‘bad’
