Step 1. Teach your kids to love movement 😄🙌💪

Getting your kids to embrace exercise can feel daunting. Start by helping them fall in love with movement. One of the best ways to do that is to make a “workout” feel like a game.

Try this:
1. Grab a deck of playing cards; the more colorful and themed, the better.
2. Choose a few active movements like hops, jumps, or sprints.
3. Have them pick a card, and whatever number they get, that’s how many they have to do. Face cards count as tens.
4. Let them choose three cards per movement. Adjust that number as needed.

Why it works:
1. It makes exercise feel more like a game than work.
2. Choosing their own card gives them autonomy and ownership over the activity.
3. Seeing a stack of completed cards gives them a tangible sense of accomplishment.

Try it with your kids 💪

The problem with excuses is that they’ll make you feel better temporarily, but they won’t get you any closer to your goals.

The day you stop making excuses and become consistent is the day your goals are as good as accomplished.

Family. Relationship. Parenting. Fitness. Business. Life. Stop making excuses. Just show up, and you will accomplish your goals in every area of life.

Follow for more fad-free motivation 💪😤

Pause rep deadlifts will make you REALLY strong 💪

👉Use your traditional deadlift form, but pause partway up, then continue to the top. You can adjust where you pause to build power in whatever part of the movement needs the most work. Do two to three sets in the two- to six-rep range.

👉Build strength, power, and muscular control for life 💪

Don’t sleep on this challenge! It took me several weeks of trying before I first finished 200 pushups in under 5 minutes.

I used to think I needed a big gym with a full arsenal of equipment to get a proper workout, but now I think differently. I’ve never encountered a more active culture than here in Vietnam, and they use very little equipment. It's been a blast to join them for some morning movement. I bet most of them could beat my push-up challenge with time to spare.

Most guys think working their arms will make them look like a superhero, but shoulders are actually doing the heavy lifting visually.

Save these three supersets so you can have shoulders that look super 🦸‍♂️💪

👉Y raise and reverse fly on an incline bench set at a 32° angle

👉Seated alternating neutral grip dumbbell press and seated, leaning forward, reverse fly

👉Seated, palms-forward lateral raise and palms-down lateral raise

Bonus 👉Standing, alternating, upright dumbbell row

My dad passed down something more important than money. He left us with generational wealth in the form of grit, perseverance, effort, and a few pounds of iron.

The world is obsessed with amassing wealth, but amassing character is far more valuable.

My dad left us an irreplaceable legacy that goes beyond a few iron plates. He left us with a pattern to follow. He gave us a blueprint to build from. He left us with an anchor to depend on. He passed on generational health.

I’m striving to be the dad who does the same for his grandkids. I want to be that dad. You can be the dad who leaves a legacy of strength for your kids too. Be THAT dad 💪

I’m a 90s kid, so I don’t know if kids these days still play “My Dad is stronger than your Dad,” but if they do, I gotta make sure my kids never lose. As a youngster, I was undefeated. My dad never left any doubt, so it's my job to keep the tradition going.

Let's go, fit dads. You are your kids' first superhero! Show them you are the strongest dad on the block. It's your job to make sure your kid is the Michael Jordan of “My Dad is stronger than your Dad.”
