Episode 6: Fitness for Dads – Staying Strong, Healthy, and Present for Your Kids
This one’s for the dads in the trenches tired, busy, maybe feeling out of shape, but determined to show up stronger. In this episode, we dive into the chaos of fatherhood and the challenge of reclaiming your fitness, not for abs, but for energy, mobility, mental clarity, and longevity.
From 5 a.m. runs to Friday night Muay Thai, and working out through back pain and dad guilt, we get real about what movement looks like in the middle of modern fatherhood. We share personal fitness stories, hard lessons (ego lifting and steroids), small wins, and the power of finding a rhythm that works for your life.
We talk mobility, accountability, consistency, and community. We get vulnerable about the shame and motivation behind getting started again and how moving your body is an act of love for your family, not just for yourself.
Plus, hear how our new fitness habits are impacting our kids, our moods, our marriages and even our grocery lists.
We’ve also created something special for this episode: a curated set of personal workout playlists from each host. Visit Playlist – The Dad Edit, enter your email, and we’ll send them your way. No spam, just motivation.
