I played sports and did martial arts\u2014and just felt my best when I was active. I\u2019ve dealt with depression for pretty much my entire life and exercise helped me cope. When I didn\u2019t move my body, I just didn\u2019t feel as good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">As a result, I stuck to a pretty consistent routine through school, then work, and then married life. For me, it was never about getting jacked or looking a certain way; I just wanted to be my best, both physically and mentally. So, five or six days a week, I\u2019d go to the gym, work out in my garage, or run to the park to do sprints and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/pullup-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pullups<\/a>. I wasn\u2019t always motivated to do it, but discipline kept me going\u2014and I\u2019ve never regretted a workout.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Enter: Fatherhood<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">When I became a father, things changed. Falling off the bandwagon wasn\u2019t an option for me, so in order to get some movement in, I had to be flexible about my routine. I was teaching high school during the day, college at night, and spending my time at home changing, burping, and losing sleep. Some days, I got to work a little early or stayed late so I could exercise\u2014even if it was just for 20 minutes. I tried not to think about how tired or busy I was, I just did it before I could waste time or talk myself out of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Though lifting weights helps me work off my stress the most, I mixed up my workouts to match whatever I could (and wanted to) do on those busy, busy days. As long as I moved, I considered it a win. Mapping out a specific schedule would have just set me up to feel like a failure. Again, flexibility was really the secret sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/staying-healthy-on-busy-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 Tips For Staying Healthy On Your Busiest Days<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">What also really kept me going: Around that same time, I watched my own parents begin to deteriorate\u2014and promised myself that I\u2019d stay healthy for my children. I wanted to be able to keep up with them well into their adult lives and didn\u2019t want to ultimately have to rely on them like my parents had to rely on me. Sure, I needed to be healthy enough to work and provide for my family\u2014but I also needed exercise as an outlet in order to be the best dad and husband possible. Now, being strong inside and out was about so much more than me.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Leading By Example<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">As my kids have gotten older, I\u2019ve tried to lead by example. I want them to see that, sure, I enjoy a few slices of pizza on Friday nights, but that I also take care of myself, that being healthy makes me feel good\u2014and that they can have all the same things for years to come, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Of course, we go out for ice cream and watch movies, but I\u2019m proud to see my kids now interested in eating well and spending their free time playing outside.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/how-to-stop-skipping-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Tricks That&#8217;ll Help You Stop Skipping Workouts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">If there\u2019s any advice I\u2019d share with other dads or fathers-to-be out there, it\u2019s to find some sort of movement you really enjoy. Whether you go for a run or a bike ride, do yoga, or just jump rope in your basement, whatever gets you moving on a daily basis is all you really need. Even if you can only do 10 minutes here and there throughout the day, it all counts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">My other advice: Even if adding a workout to your day <i>seems<\/i> like just another stressor, I can say from experience that having a way to work off your own stress and frustrations will truly improve your relationship with your kids and your partner. Kids can push you to your limits sometimes, so having a healthy outlet is good not only for <em>you<\/em>, but for your entire family. Give it a try for a week or two and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll notice the difference for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up, exercise was always part of my routine.
