Episode 9: Vinnie Tortorich

Published: Aug. 28, 2020, 4:36 a.m.

Welcome to Protecting Your Nest. Joining the show today is the legendary fitness trainer, model, motivational speaker, author, and film maker, Vinnie Tortorich. Vinnie has been working out in the gym since the age of 8, was a star athlete in high school, and has had a long career helping regular people as well as movie stars get fit and healthy.

Today\u2019s episode focuses particularly on the \u2018E\u2019 aspect of the \u2018NEST\u2019 acronym. It may be surprising for some listeners to hear a fitness trainer say that exercise is the least important aspect of both the \u2018NEST\u2019 and the \u2018ROPE\u2019 for weight-loss, but Vinnie believes just that. That being said, the discussion in this episode centers around the many other benefits of exercise and how exercise can work in conjunction with the other aspects of \u2018NEST\u2019 and ROPE.\u2019

Topics covered in this discussion include the benefits of weight-bearing exercise for bone strength, the necessity of including recovery time as a part of your exercise routine, the relationship between exercise, sleep, and stress, the relationship between aerobic exercise and heart health, and more.

\u201cUse it or lose it\u201d is the main piece of wisdom to take away from this episode. Also, \u201cNo Sugar, No Grains!\u201d
