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.
