Listen "#24 The Truth About Getting Fit After Kids (5 Things No One Tells You)"
Episode Synopsis
Being a father changes everything—including how you approach fitness. In this episode, Sam and Cole get real about what working out actually looks like when you have young kids, a demanding job, and zero hours to spare.
They break down the uncomfortable truths nobody shares: there is no perfect schedule, your progress won't be linear, and you'll have months where everything falls apart. But here's the thing—that's all part of the deal.
Sam and Cole challenge popular fitness culture that ignores family life entirely, from Instagram influencers with 8-hour training days to CrossFit programs that leave people burned out. They make the case for why every dad should be lifting weights (not cardio), building a a simple home gym, and lowering expectations while staying consistent.
Topics covered:
Why time isn't given, it's created
The benefits of working out in street clothes at home
How lifting weights impacts everything from mental health to patience with your kids
The dark truth about cardio culture
Building a prison gym 2.0 in your garage
If you're tired of fitness advice from people who don't have kids, this one's for you.
Key Topics: fatherhood, fitness for dads, home gym, weightlifting, staying in shape with kids, parenting, men's health, testosterone, workout motivation
