Bodies Need Motion

  • An article reviews what does and doesn’t work for people when it comes to exercise. (15:00)
    • Two groups were studied based on walking: 75 minutes once a week or 75 minutes over three days.
    • The third group only participated in wellness discussions.
    • Unfortunately, the takeaway people will cling to isn’t particularly beneficial. (21:00)
  • Sitting is the new smoking. A sedentary lifestyle is a deteriorating one. (23:00)
    • Our bodies were meant to move!
    • Your body doesn’t know what day of the week it is; it just needs to know if you’re doing something positive or negative to it that day.
    • Your body needs motion, and more of it than some studies suggest!
  • Turkey is not Vinnie’s favorite meat. (33:00)
    • Turducken may or may not be the answer.
  • Sleep deprivation can affect cognitive function; however, according to one study, 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise performs as well as a 90-minute nap when you are sleep-deprived. (42:00)
