After a lesson in poetry and haiku, the topic of Summer vacation begins. (2:00)
People want to indulge on their summer vacations, mostly at theme parks and on cruise ships.
- Vinnie had a lavish experience on a cruise once, but there was barely a gym! (11:00)
- He made do with what he had to work with. He also gets seriously seasick.
- The only thing to do on the cruise was gamble or overeat, neither of which he was interested in.
Lately, many of Vinnie’s consults have been centered around what a person, or family, eats on a cruise or at theme parks. (17:00)
- Make up your mind before you leave on how you are going to handle the event. (18:30)
- It’s the key to avoiding a slippery slope!
Anna gives a rundown of how you can approach the mindset. (20:00)
- Ask yourself beforehand about the emotional reasons, mindsets, and triggers you may have.
- Enjoy yourself, but be reasonable and plan.
Anna reads a question from listener Bob Z. (35:00)
- Bob has a question about running with a weighted vest.
- It is not recommended to run with weighted vests. The long-term effect on hips and knees is not good.
- Rucking while walking is just fine, and it’s best to have the waist strap that goes with it.
Vinnie’s new challenge for himself has been building a model train setup. (48:00)
Anna’s cheese bites are coming out, and Anna and Vinnie share ideas for some NSNG snacks. (55:00)
