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.

Love me some pull-ups

Is it weird that I’m really excited for my workout today?

Maybe…

But the sad part is I have to wait until I’m done training clients to do it!

I’m excited that I’m getting my pull-ups back up to where they were early this winter.  Love me some pull-ups and chin-ups and it’s mostly due to the fact that through my teenage years I couldn’t do a single f’ing pull-up…not 1!

Now I do sets of 8-12 2-3 times per week. 

If I’m at the park with the family, I’ll jump up on some of the playground equipment and bang a few out - this is actually pretty fun because you can do all sorts of styles on playground equipment with the different positions you can get your hands in.

If you’re not doing pull-ups, you NEED to…even if you can only do 1 or you need assistance from resistance tubing - put them in your program.  They are too good of an exercise to leave out plus there’s nothing more gratifying in the exercise world than being able to pull your own weight and it’s an awesome incentive to lose weight!
