Summary

Episode 2746 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer answer essential questions about starting where you're at in your fitness journey, protein, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/starting-where-youre-at-episode-2746 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Starting Where You're At First: Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group opens up January 2, 2026! Vinnie's workout videos, group calls, and supportive community are waiting for you, FREE to all members who join! What is the biggest mistake people tend to make going into a new workout routine? (3:30) People tend to quit going to the gym after only two weeks or so after signing up. They use excuses even though they feel better while exercising. DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is another reason people stop. (10:00) This feeling will happen less and less as you become more consistent and stronger. Start where you are and work up—you don't need to go hard right away. (15:00) Don't be intimidated by others and where they are in their journey. You don't have to go to a gym all the time. If you don't have time for the gym, try some body-weight exercises. (22:30) When to eat protein and how much? (32:00) In general: 120-150g per day for average-height men, for average-height women, 85g-120g per day. (32:00) It's OK if you go a little over on some days. Eating something in the morning boosts your metabolism. However, it doesn't take much. What about sleep and recovery? (36:00) How to become disciplined? (39:00) A lot of it is attitude, and your attitude can change. How do you know when you are doing enough, especially when you hit a "plateau"? (45:00) When exercising, plateaus happen when you don't change enough. Changing up the muscle stimulation will help. They discuss a "starting strength workout." And finally: Be careful with the bro-science you'll see and hear on the internet. (54:00) A New Sponsor Jaspr Air Scrubbers has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $400 off for a limited time.
