Time To Grow Up Dad
I Haven't Been Fit in 3 Years My Honest Dad Confession
Look I haven't gotten fit in the last three years or so. At least not actively trying to improve my health.And it's weird as a sports nutritionist, personal trainer and strength coach to say that.With two kids in the last three years, the reality is I, like many others, don't have the opportunity and no one in the fitness industry wants to tell you that. This episode is for new dads who feel like they've lost their pre-kid fitness and wonder how to get back.The goal isn't a 90-day transformation. The goal is to maintain.In this Time To Grow Up episode I break down 3 things that actually help with a newborn: a low-bar mindset, a realistic nutrition approach (including the 25-30% rule), and movement you actually enjoy.
