SPECIAL SUPERBOWL EDITION OF WTF IS A DAD BOD PODCAST!

This episode is being released on the Monday after SuperBowl as an exception.

Whether it’s after the Superbowl or any other weekend where you went a little overboard with the food and drinks, I’m here to tell you that….It’s ok!

There are days in the year where it’s perfectly ok to turn it off and just enjoy being with friends and family and to indulge in a great meal and a few drinks.

The SuperBowl has become one of those events that brings people together in the US, Canada and around the World. And an opportunity to reconnect, discuss and maybe argue for a little while before going back to the grind.

These are the “Good Old Days” of the future.

Enjoy!

Love it or hate it, the push up is the most quintessential and all round exercise that can be performed anywhere.

It also has variations that allow you to make it easier or more difficult as you get better and stronger.

What if I told you that the easiest way to get into strength training is to choose an exercise that works a whole slew of muscles and can be beneficial on so many levels?

The push up is the answer.

How many can you do? Find out using this simple, one exercise workout plan. Complete as many sets as you want throughout the day, just make sure you get to 100.

Today’s episode discusses consistency and motivation and how we can experience this exponentially once we get started in fitness.

The more progress you make, the more motivation you have. We simply need to channel it to the right places.

Here we go! The First, Introductory episode of WTF is a dad bod podcast!

What better way to kick this off than talking about how it started for me.

A friend and I were both in our late 30’s and had put on a few pounds.

Slacking off by not exercising and perhaps eating more than we should.

Realizing that we were getting older and not feeling good about ourselves or how we looked, we had a choice to make.

You either let yourself go and deal with the consequences later OR you start doing something.

Hold each other accountable to the work AND get a reward from it!
