Trying to be fit as a busy dad (parent) definitely has its challenges.
Do you ever feel like this? Kids and work are just two things in your life that make maintaining your own health and fitness difficult. As a parent, it is not easy to find the time and energy for yourself.

💪Building a better dad with functional movements.
🥷Steal these simple movements,like the elevated pigeon and slantboard squats to help bulletproof your hips, knees, and low back for everyday dad life. Stay injury free as you put up those Christmas lights and risk your life up on the roof.
🐦I love the elevated pigeon for better hip mobility and relieving low back pain and tightness. Slantboard squats are such a great movement for stronger, more resilient knees.
👉I’m all about building functional strength that not only helps you look better, but move and feel better in your own life. Follow for more functional fitness tips to help you be a better dad.
🎄Do you put up your own Christmas lights? If so, how did it go? Good, bad? Share your story with us.

💪You can still get fit during the holidays!
🍗Let’s put all those extra calories to work and pack on some muscle during the holiday season. Just like my guy Ryan did as he put on 16 pounds of muscle.
🙌You can do it, too. Don’t put your fitness goals off until the New Year. Get started now.
📲DM me the word “start” and let’s chat. What are you waiting for?

🚽I’m convinced that 90% of being a dad (or mom) is flushing toilets, turning off lights, and opening and closing doors. Add in picking up sh*t all over the house and you might be at 95%.
👼So new or expecting parents, don’t worry, if you can do those few things you’re most of the way there. You got this.
👇As a parent, what menial task takes up all of your time and drives you insane?

Working on the boys grip strength early with Alpha Gripz. They loved trying out all of the different hand and finger strengthening tools.
Looking forward to using them myself. So simple and can be done anywhere, even while watching TV.
Get that grip strength friends!

Just improving my foot and toe health as I drink my morning coffee.
Toe spacers are great for negating the effects of how tight modern shoes are and spreading our toes. This creates better foot and toe health, improving pretty much every movement in life and sport.
Everything starts from the ground up so don’t neglect your feet and toes.

📐Slantboard squats might be the best squat you’re not doing.
😩Especially, if you’re an aging lifter, or struggle with any sort of mobility or joint pain during a regular squat. Let’s be honest, most of us cannot squat “ass to grass” like a baby anymore. The slantboard takes out ankle mobility issues and helps reduce knee and hip pain during the squat. It also enforces a more upright squatting position. This allows you to get full range of motion, with better form, and less pain or risk of injury.
👍Obviously, we should address mobility issues but slantboard squats allow you to get perfect form, full range squats as you work towards those goals.
👉Plus the slantboard can be used in so many other beneficial ways.
👇Are you using a slantboard? If not for squats, what for?

😳Are you waiting until after the holidays to start on your fitness goals?
Why?
👉Here are five reasons why there is no better time than now to start.
1. Combat holiday weight gain. As weight gain is an issue during the holiday season, you can minimize this by starting now.
2. Stress reduction. The holidays are a stressful time and exercise helps reduce stress.
3. Show your kids fitness is important. As the holidays are one of the busiest times of the year, prioritizing health sets a good example.
4. Increased energy levels and better sleep. Both of which we all need during the holidays.
5. Creating a routine and discipline that will carry over into the new year and continue.
👍As a busy dad of 4 and fitness coach, I’m here to help you on your fitness journey. I’m offering two free weeks of coaching if you start working with me now. This will get you on track heading into the holidays and ease the financial burden into the new year.
📲Type “start now” in the comments and I’ll contact you directly to answer any questions. What are you waiting for?

Stop training like you’re half your age. As you get older, you need to train smarter. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym, maxing out, and doing abs & arms till you drop. You can still look good and get six pack abs focusing on functional strength and longevity.

Someone asked me about my mobility/warm-up routine prior to workouts. This is a real example of how I start my morning, prepare to workout, and a sample warm-up.
I hope this answers the question and helps give some insight into my workout preparation. I include some mobility and light strength work for 10-15 min prior to every workout. I also always finish with some sort of stretching.
How do you get ready to workout? What’s your warm-up?
