I Am The Fit Dad...Read If You'd Like.

I am the Fit Dad and I am here to rescue you from your fatty ways. I'm a mild-mannered personal trainer and proud daddy by day, but when danger strikes I transform into my alter-ego, The Fit Dad, to defeat the Evil Dr. Fatty and his legion of goons. Basically what I'm saying is this is a bunch of mindless ramblings, with some workout and diet tips thrown in for good measure.

Monday’s Workout and Diet

Today’s workout was pretty sweet.  I FINALLY bought a weighted vest because things like dips, chin-ups and push-ups are too easy, and this was my first chance to bust that puppy out.

First thoughts are that it’s a bit cumbersome and too “baggy” in that it flops around a bit too much, and I have it cinched up as tight as it goes…but it was still awesome.

I did a warm-up for about 7 minutes and then moved into…

Superset #1:

1) Dips (with vest) - 10 reps

2) Inverted Row on Jungle Gym XT (with vest) - 10 reps

I did 4 sets of that and moved on to…

Circuit #2:

2A) Push Press - 6 reps

2B) Chin-up - 10 reps

2C) Ropes - 30 seconds

Did 4 sets of that, and it kicked my butt.  I finished up with a bit of “arms” work…

Circuit #3:

3A) DB Triceps Extension - 15 reps

3B) Lateral Raise - 15 reps

3C) Curl - 15 reps

I did 2 sets of that and was finito.

The diet today is going to be pretty routine.  

I started the morning with my usual smoothie loaded with blueberries, flax, raspberries, protein powder and greens powder.

Snack was an apple and homemade protein bar.

Post-workout snack was trail mix

Lunch is going to be a big spinach/romaine salad with various nuts, boiled egg whites and sunflower seeds.

Beyond that I have no idea what I’ll be eating.  I’m trying to do some type of produce load this week where I remove any and all processed foods and eat lots and lots and lots of fruits and veggies (especially berries and broccoli).

good times.
