Episode 2563 - On this Wednesday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss resolutions, results, that now is the time to start becoming active, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/11/now-is-the-time-episode-2563 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Now Is The Time Competition for the nickname “Gran Torino.”(2:00) Updates on one of Vinnie’s resolutions. (4:00) He tries to listen to audiobooks. He will often do zero “life into living” to show solidarity for those he’s trying to help. Each year, he tries to get in 365 hours of aerobics, minimum. Next year, Vinnie might switch up his exercise goals. (9:00) His recent cancer challenge has made him rethink his goals. Vinnie encourages you to start transmuting into your goals now instead of waiting for the new year. (17:00) Time is a construct of humans; any time is a good time to start, so start now. Having resistance to change is a clue to start it now, not to procrastinate. Getting Started Chris asks about testosterone levels. (20:00) Creatine is a good thing. (23:00) Studies are showing how it helps with cellular health. Chris talks about testosterone, sex drive, mood, eating whole foods, sleep, and getting proper nutrients. (24:00) The more you learn about your natural hormone levels, the better. Vinnie knows athletes who would use high doses of steroids, and he has seen a lot of unhealthy results over the years. Even Joe Bonnadonna, Vinnie’s mentor in his younger years, would tell Vinnie not to use them—and Joe used them! Rucking is another way Vinnie gets strength and cardio in. (42:00) They discuss the difference between having an actual rucksack versus using a backpack with weights. (43:00) What should you expect as you shift to a weightlifting focus? (53:00) The idea is to progress, but you also need to know when to rest. Rest is part of the progress. (56:00) Keep track with a notepad and pencil or an app, but track your progress so you can assess. Start with where you’re at, and just try a little further each time. (1:03:00) For example, Chris’ grandfather had knee surgery, and each day, he would try to go just a little bit further. Body weight exercises can help, too, if you can’t or are hesitant to join a gym.

(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!
