Dad life!

So almost  two and a half months have passed since

Sorry interrupted by one of the boys...where was I?

Yeah two and a half months and what can I tell you? Father hood is an energy drain. BUT I believe that the work I put into my fitness over the last five years has paid off.  Ab strength, leg strength and core strength have given me no end of talent for holding and caring for these guys in the most awkward positions. Even the constant up and down from the couch becomes wearysome.

Currently I do a Grit styled HIIT session in my garage with my pupil and wife. And at least two other targeted weights sessions through the week and weekend utilising my new gym additions.

Besides fitting in around 3 home gym sessions a week, I have set myself 2 daily challenges.
1. 100 pushups a day
2. Plank beyond PB each day.

The pushup and plank challenge is easy to get in each morning while taking care of the boys, because I only have to be present to tend to their needs, the rest of time would normallybe spent killing time watching the Food network...

To attain the push ups, batches of 25 are used and I vary between wide mid and close hand positions as well as on raised fist and flat palm. The variety helps work a wider range of muscle fibers.

My journey of Fatherhood is still only young, but I remain determine to enrich my boys life with fitness and health as well as encourage momma to stay fit also.

It's not easy and not always convenient for the boys to get that workout in, but in between it all, I'm making it work!
