(2:00) Vinnie used to love "ski skates." (6:00) A little backstory on Vinnie’s early interest in sports. (9:00) He loved the show "The Wide World of Sports" while growing up in the 1970s and '80s. This is how he got introduced to Jack LaLane. He started mimicking what he was learning. Weightlifting 101 You’ll want to take notes. (27:00) Both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) training are important. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (29:00) It’s important to balance with both pushing and pulling movements. Compound movement is moving more than one joint at a time. (31:30) Auxiliary exercises are good for isolation and definition but aren’t as necessary as compound movements. (34:30) Compound movements will also save you time. Reps and Sets (39:00) Vinnie has tried various protocols. He describes what his preferred method is. He likes three sets: one for warm-up, one for just short of failure, and one until failure. Do not go to failure when you are alone for moves like bench presses when doing free weights, etc. Do not drop or throw your weights around—you’ll just look like an asshole. (42:00) You don’t have to go to failure if you’re noticing an increase in strength over time. Leg Day Never skip Leg Day. (45:30) His four preferred exercises for this are squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press. He picks at least three of the four every time. He describes a twice-a-week workout, which can work great for maintaining muscle strength. (50:00) Basic bodyweight exercises can be effective, too! Where there is a will, there’s a way!

Episode 2550 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss what it means to "take the garbage out," the importance of exercise, share a giveaway, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=33343017] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Take the Garbage Out First of all, NO, Vinnie does NOT know P. Diddy or anything about him, so please stop asking him. (2:00) Just because he worked with a few celebrities years ago doesn’t mean he knows all of them. Vinnie recently interviewed a guest named Ken Coleman, which will air in a couple of weeks. (4:00) Stoicism is an ancient philosophy and practice that advocates building emotional resilience and having a virtuous life. (6:00) Joe Dean was a big influence on Vinnie. (8:00) Vinnie repeats a lesson about “taking out the garbage.” A movie Vinnie recommends a movie called “23 Blast.” (20:00) Anyone can do anything at any given time—you just have to want it. (21:00) You can use this attitude to lose weight and other goals. Anna relays a story where she is being told certain things are impossible. (22:00) At some point, you have to stop listening to the nay-sayers. Vinnie reminds listeners that he is traveling to Washington, DC, as part of the Metabolic Revolution on October 13, 2024. (33:00) You can scroll down in the show notes for more details. Weight Loss & Exercise Anna’s Eat Happy Italian drops tomorrow, October 8, 2024. (37:00) Pre-order it and help it get more traction! Vinnie shares an example of a caller having trouble understanding parts of NSNG®. (46:00) The person was concerned because they hadn’t been losing weight yet; however, in speaking to the person further, they were still including grain products like pasta and bread. NSNG® is a lifestyle change. You can’t just use bits and pieces of it and expect success. Anna reads an article regarding fat and exercise from Rhonda Patrick, who is a Ph.D. biochemist and addresses nutrition and fitness. (52:00) The article validates what Vinnie always says, which is that exercise is the fountain of youth. (56:00) Don’t just stop at weight loss, thinking you don’t have to exercise. Exercise is not about losing weight! (57:00) Be as healthy as you can until you die; avoid a prolonged decline. (1:01:30) They discuss drinking alcohol. (1:04:00) A GIVEAWAY! Anna shares a great giveaway with her Eat Happy Italian book!

(33:00) It has far-reaching effects like the fitness of our military. Mark explains how young boys are becoming estrogenic due to excess belly fat. (39:00) Being overweight is just a biomarker of insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is a biomarker of a poor food environment.

Episode 2547 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss a ketogenic diet for epilepsy, continue their NSNG® 101 refresh part 2 for their listeners, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/09/nsng-101-refresh-part-2-episode-2547 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - NSNG® 101 Refresh Part 2 Anna and Vinnie are happy to be helping people learn or “reset their jets.” (2:00) You have to remind yourself that no one can save you but you; you need to make your own changes. (7:00) Anna relates a story of a woman who has a daughter with epilepsy. (9:00) She explains how the woman’s daughter is affected by sugar. Anna offered up information about The Charlie Foundation, as the doctors the woman was taking her daughter to never mentioned dietary changes. Vinnie knows a person who has grand mal seizures and how badly it has affected his life. (15:00) The ketogenic diet has been used to treat epilepsy for over 100 years; however, with medications evolving, people have forgotten about it and its importance in health. What to Eat Eggs! They are easy, convenient, nutrient-dense, and are not just a “breakfast food”! (18:00) Meats: bacon (although Vinnie is not a fan of big company brands because they have a lot of additives). (23:00) Go to a real butcher, if possible. Anna explains the curing process, and they clarify information about nitrates and nitrites. Fattier cuts of meats are good, and Vinnie explains different fats. (29:00) Your body needs cholesterol—if you don’t have enough, it will make it, that’s how important it is. (32:00) Saturated fats are fine. Hydrogenated fats and Trans-fats are chemically created and damaging to your body. Seed oils are bad because because the process of extraction makes them toxic. (37:00) Cold-pressed are not typically bad because the extraction doesn’t involve all the dangerous chemicals. Dr Cate Shanahan’s book “” helps explain this. (39:00) Meats! Anna gives a ton of ideas about various types of meat. (41:00) Keep 4-7 days’ worth of items in your freezer. That will mean that you always have something on hand. They switch to discussing vegetables. (44:00) They discuss recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables. What is a low-glycemic fruit? (47:00) What about dairy? (50:00) Full-fat dairy is good, like high-fat cheeses and yogurts. But for some people, too much dairy can hinder weight loss. (51:00) And what about eating nuts? Certain kinds are better than others because of their carb content. (52:00) Anna recommends eating a real meal to avoid feeling peckish or snacky all day. (54:30) Write to Anna and Vinnie and let them know if this was helpful! A Bonus Guide Know Your Italian Meats (with a pronunciation guide): “Gravy” – This one is for beginners. When an Italian mentions gravy, don’t think of that light or dark brown sauce you have with your roast beef or Thanksgiving turkey. Gravy = red sauce. “Proshoot” does not refer to a marksman with a rifle or pistol but a favorite Italian meat – prosciutto. Walk into an Italian deli and ask for “proshuuto” and they’ll instantly peg you as non-Italian. Ask for “proshoot,” and they’ll peg you for a non-Italian trying to fake it! “Gabagool” is capicola (another Italian meat). Of the eight letters in capicola, only the a and the o make an appearance in “gabagool.” “Breejole” – Braciole. “Panchetta” – Pancetta More News Don’t forget to check out Serena Scott Thomas on Days Of Our Lives on the Peacock channel. “Dirty Keto” is finally available on Amazon!
