Lack of time is the #1 reasons parents and more specifically fathers don't stay consistent in the gym and with their nutrition.
Here's my basic system to stay on track as a busy dad.
The 4 Walls
- Keep 80% of training sessions (strength or endurance) between 30-45 minutes.
- Spend 1 day per week meal prepping ALL meals for the week. Pre-track your meals/macros in an app so impulsive meal planning is off the table.
- Schedule your workouts into your week. If you have a family calendar put them on the calendar so your wife/family knows you have this time set aside.
- Find 1 brother to hold you accountable to the days/times you plan to workout and share your weekly progress with.
My mantra is Keep it simple and execute relentlessly.
