Ditching the Dad Bod Collection – Adjustable Dumbbells

As men, and especially as fathers who are responsible for our own lives and also the lives of our children, we owe it to our families to take care of ourselves through exercise and proper nutrition.

Think about all the things you do as a dad that require - or at least are made far easier with - a fit body: changing nappies in one of those cramped bathroom stalls, leaning over the side of the crib to pick up your child, playing with them in the backyard or at the park, running after them if they get away from you at the supermarket.

Do you need to have six-pack abs and 20-inch biceps to do these things? Absolutely not. But what good is it if you are so busy "providing for your family" that you neglect your health and end up with heart disease at age 45? High Blood pressure or diabetes? Or bad knees?

If dads are ever going to reverse the course of where our health is headed in Australia, it means you have to redefine what it means to have a dad bod and hold it up as the new standard for which to strive. The beer belly brigade has got to go.

Say goodbye to the "Dad Bod" and enjoy the energy to play with your kids and feel great in the process!
