The Feel Good Workout

TGIF! I am excited that it's Friday today as I am off from work until Monday.

I am writing this today from my parents house while enjoying a hot bowl of homemade moose stew for my post-workout meal! Mmmmm. Immediately after my workout I had my 500ml of chocolate milk and a banana. Just as effective as any of those overprices buckets of junk at your local supplement shop.

Today is also a Mr. Mom day for me as my wife is gone to the office for the day as she is only working one day a week right now while still on maternity leave.

I started the day early at 4:40am this morning as baby Matea woke up crying as I think she must of had a bad dream, poor little girl. Daddy gave her nice warm bottle and she went back to sleep.

I managed to drift off for a couple more hours and then we both had breakfast and I got ready to head to the gym. So I dropped Matea off at my parents as they always love her to visit, while I was at the gym. Which is only across the street from where they live, nicceeee!

For you busy dads, there is ALWAYS a way to get your workouts in while balancing work, family and friends. You just have to make exercise a priority!

Todays workout was a high rep day in the 20 rep range. I find this to be a great change of pace as somedays I don't feel up to training real heavy. The program I am doing now I do 4-6 reps one day, 10-12 another day, and 20-22 reps for the 3rd workout.

I am focusing on TOTAL reps, this workout calls for 25 totals reps. However many sets it takes to reach that is what I do with 60 seconds rest periods.

This was today's Dad Fitness Workout:

High Pulls, 20 reps, 5 reps
Incline DB Press, 20 reps, 5 reps
Front Squats, 20 reps, 5 reps
Hammer Curls, 20 reps, 5 reps
