How I lost 20-40+ lbs (as a busy dad)
A few years ago I gained 40 lbs and was the most stressed I’d ever been.
HR responsibility for 4 manufacturing plants in 3 states
Regular 5:30am commutes
30% travel
I was a young husband and dad who was prioritizing work over everything else.
Including my health.
I tried fixing it with Paleo. HIIT workouts. Dumbbells.
Nothing stuck.
But what actually worked was very simple.
Kettlebells
I started looking forward to exercise (whaaaaat?).
I had fun in my garage again.
Movement
I started craving walks. Made my mind sharper.
Took my kids with me too.
Simple nutrition
Repeatable meals, protein targets, and simple target.
And flexibility that always allows pizza nights.
If you do these 3 things…
Your body will look and feel entirely different.
