As a father, I have no doubt you want to look and feel the best you possibly can. And when we're at our best, we become better husbands, better fathers, and better men.
If you're serious about getting fit and staying there, my advice is to stop chasing quick fixes, fad diets, and promises of easy abs.
Instead, take responsibility for your decisions and follow these
6 very simple rules and I promise you'll see progress.
1. Stop making excuses. Your excuses are keeping you fat and lazy,
period. We all have sh*t to do and there never seems to be enough
time. There is. Always.
2. Make yourself a priority. If you aren’t making yourself a
priority, start. Simply put, you cannot be the best husband or
father you’re capable of being if you aren’t at the top of your
daily “to-do” list. It’s not selfish and I’ll argue that the most
selfish thing you can do is to neglect yourself. Why? Because
everything in your life suffers when you do. And your kids deserve
the best version of their dad.
3. Eat like you give a sh*t about your body. You don’t need to
“diet”, starve yourself, or eliminate all the foods you love. That
doesn’t work long-term anyways. But what you do have to do is eat
like you care about your body. We literally are what we eat, so
choose wisely. Stop drinking f*cking soda. Avoid any restaurant
with a drive thru. Eat a veggie with every meal. It's not rocket
science here
4. Life is hard, get over it. Life can be a f*cking bitch and
sometimes we’re thrown curve balls and immensely difficult
situations. It happens. You can either handle it or complain about
it. Life doesn’t owe you a thing. Accept that and move forward.
5. Put in work every single day. Get your ass out of that comfy
leather chair and into the gym. Or outside. Or for a walk. Or to a
park. Doesn’t matter. Put work in every day of your life. Train
hard. Move as much as possible. Embrace the outdoors. Stretch
daily. Life sucks when you feel like sh*t all the time.
6. Realize that life is short. Do you want it spend it being fat,
immobile, and tired all the f*cking time? Or do you want to wake up
feeling amazing and 15 years younger than your age? Recognize that
your time will come sooner than you think and do everything in your
power to improve the quality of your life. One day it will be too
late.
