Episode 2043 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie and the two talk making time for exercise, mountain biking, combatting litter with plogging, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/02/making-time-for-exercise-plogging-episode-2043 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods MAKING TIME FOR EXERCISE People often need to make time to exercise. The best thing you can do is walk, if you're not in the gym. Weight-bearing exercise is so important. If you aren't putting in a lot of time in the gym, try to spend that time on your feet moving around -- even if it's not an intentional workout. In the event you are able, get on a bike or try to jog. Any type of exercise is important. Vinnie thinks plogging is a great idea. You are walking or running around, and you bend over to pick up trash and throw it away on the way. This is good for your health and good for the earth. Add this to your routine!

Episode 2042 - On this Saturday show, Vinnie talks with phone-consult client Jeff Tudas, and the two talk Jeff's story, avoiding carby crashes, finding motivation, using time wisely, willingness to fail, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/02/finding-motivation-episode-2042 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods JEFF'S STORY Jeff is a huge Carolla fan. When he found Vinnie, he thought his story was very inspiring. Initially, he heard Vinnie say the best snack was nut butter and coconut oil, and this shocked Jeff. He became interested. To Jeff, NSNG® was too simple! He was a guy who played sports, ran marathons, stayed fit. But he was doing it by eating all of the crap. Once he implemented NSNG®, he had sustained energy in a way he didn't have it when he ate carbs, and he didn't have the crashes. Jeff also recently took to the stage as a comic! He's all about pushing himself. FINDING MOTIVATION Jeff found Vinnie during the pandemic. During this time, he looked for

Episode 2040 - On this Wednesday show, Vinnie goes solo and talks sauna benefits, artificial detoxing, protein intake, building muscle, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/02/sauna-benefits-protein-intake-episode-2040 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SAUNA BENEFITS Vinnie is a big sauna fan. He wants to build one in his home! This allows him privacy while he stretches--he likes to stretch in the sauna. Infrared saunas have been cropping up. Studies say they're better for you. Vinnie looked into it. If you have a regular sauna, air heats up to whatever temperature you'd like. It's like an oven. You sweat, you reap all the benefits. Infrared saunas heat up you, not the air. Vinnie doesn't think this is a bad thing. Maybe these can be smaller. But it seems like it provides the same benefits as a normal sauna. PROTEIN INTAKE How does protein interact with muscle building? You do need protein to build muscle. The best form of protein is animal protein. If you wo

And as a result, he gets a lot of hate. Vegans call him murders, he faces other issues. This does put him in a bad mood sometimes.

Episode 2038 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk high school football, learning discipline, Gina's gym routine, going slow in the gym, unattainable beauty standards, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/02/learning-discipline-going-slow-episode-2038 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods LEARNING DISCIPLINE Playing football in high school was tough! In Louisiana, football was life. Every moment was 'the fourth quarter.' Their coach wouldn't let them drink water. He'd pour it into their hands and tell them to open their hands and let the water run through. It was no easy feat, and it made it hard to eat. And maybe it was a little sadistic. Though it was tough, it prepared Vinnie for college ball (and in ways, for life). It was usually only this tough during hell week. They had two-a-days for about two weeks. These days, there are rules that prohibit this because kids used to die in the South from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Not

His weight now hovers around 250 lbs at 6'1". He still has weight to lose, but it's a heck of a lot better than when he weighed well over 500 lbs and was near real sickness and possibly death.

FAILED WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY Scott had a gastric style surgery at 552 lbs. He got down to 276 lbs but tended to sit around 300 lbs. After, he put almost all the weight back on. Vinnie talks to lots of people who have similar experiences. And they feel terribly after the surgeries and struggle to get proper nutrients.

Episode 2033 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two discuss gym rules, push-up goals, slowing down to succeed, leg exercises, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/02/slowing-down-in-the-gym-episode-2033 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SLOWING DOWN Often times, when discussing workout routines, Vinnie tells people to slow down. Gina set a pushup goal. Vinnie advised her to start small and take lots of time--more than you think you need--to build up. If you're hurting a lot after your workouts, you might need to slow down. Generally, Vinnie says take what you're doing, slow it down a bit, and then slow it down some more. Start with walking if you need to! And do fewer, higher weight reps on various machines. When you do your reps, do them slower. Really feel the exercise, make your muscles do the work. If you push yourself too hard, you won't enjoy the exercise, and then you're more likely to fail or quit. PURCHASE BEYON

When he 're-met' his wife, he knew he had to do something. He tried CICO, lived at the gym, and more. It didn't work! For awhile, he felt helpless. Gaining and losing hundreds of pounds like Ed did is really bad for your body and all of your organs. He
