Before I spell out my exact plan for the first 6 months of 2020, it’s important you know my goals for 2020 (I’m sorry. I’m a nerd- a big whiteboard in the office with the word GOAL written across the top nerd). Once I fill you in on that little secret my tweaks and changes […]
DadBod Series: How to exercise as a busy dad in 2020 – Part III
February 17, 2020 by
Lifting like a dad… So, if we did nothing but diet and LSD, we’d be skinny fat. I’m sure you’ve seen that meme on Facebook of the bag of bones marathon runner next to the muscle-bound sprinter with less than 8% body fat. Yea, well, it’s not that drastic, but I promise you that if […]
DadBod Series: How to exercise as a busy dad in 2020 – Part II
January 31, 2020 by
(Adapted from our email newsletter series) Cardio shouldn’t be hardio Buckle in because this may sound like a lot of nonsensical rambling. I’m talking Charlie Manson-type rambling. Unfortunately, I know of no other way to convey my plan for 2020 beyond jumping from idea to idea with the hopes that it all makes complete sense […]
DadBod Series: How to exercise as a busy dad in 2020 – Part I
January 7, 2020 by
(Adapted from our DadBod email newsletter) Is 2020 the year we take control of our health and our body, lose the beer gut, and restore the energy we had when we were on the football field under those Friday night lights? Or, are we just going to get older, fatter, and unhappier? Hold that thought […]
Dadbod Series: Need a new training plan?
June 13, 2018 by
It’s been awhile…. You know what they say though – distance makes the heart grow fonder. Or, at least that’s what Amber tells me. Burn! Enough with the jokes. Let’s get down to business. For the last two months, I’ve been working on a new training program. My workouts were becoming Seinfeld reruns. The […]
DBT: How can I find motivation to get to the gym?
April 3, 2018 by
Q: I’m finding it’s harder and harder to motivate myself to go to the gym. I know once this weather gets warmer I’ll struggle to make it even one day per week. What can I do? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Compete. Practice for something. Anything. A 5k. The Ageless Strength Badge. An obstacle race like […]
DBT: Training for a 5k
March 26, 2018 by
Most guys don’t enjoy cardio. The monotony. The lack of heavy lifting. The sweating. The heavy breathing. It’s just not fun. But do you know what is fun? Racing. Competition. Having a training goal. A 5k maybe? Unfortunately, bad knees, a bad back, tight hips, terrible running form, and a propensity for training like […]
DBT: The busy dad’s lifting workout
March 20, 2018 by
Between my job, kids, and wife, I barely have time to lift. If I only have time for three 45 minute strength training workouts per week, what should they look like? That’s easy. I regularly run into the same problem when I’m picking out fireworks for July 4th. I don’t want the hoosker doos, […]
DBT: How to burn 400 calories by doing almost nothing
February 17, 2018 by
Fat loss is rarely easy. The workouts, the food deprivation, the temptations, the sweating, the chafing, the tasteless vegetables. Arghhhhh. At times, it can be downright miserable. But….. It doesn’t have to be. You can turn the miserable into manageable with a few simple tweaks like spices, HIIT, spandex shorts, and something we’re […]
DBT: How many crunches does it take to get a 6 pack?
February 10, 2018 by
Q: I read somewhere (cough, cough US Weekly) Brittney Spears does 1000 crunches per day. She has amazing abs. Should I be doing crunches? Surprisingly, this question gets asked a lot… By guys. Can you blame them though? I think 99.9% of the male population would love to have Brittney Spears’ abs […]
