Our baby boy has arrived — and @Jaclyn Parras and I are beyond blessed, thankful, and yes… completely exhausted. 💙 This is why we do this. This is why we train. This is why we fuel our bodies and sharpen our minds. So we can live strong, long, and present lives — not just for ourselves, but for the people who matter most. Every rep, every meal, every drop of sweat… it’s all about building the strength and resilience to show up for our families. Thank you for being part of our Ignite family. I’m not stepping away, but I’ll be slowing down just a little this week to soak in this special time. If it takes me longer to reply, know it’s because I’m right where I need to be: with my family. Stay strong. Stay focused. And remember why you’re doing this. — Alex & Jaclyn
