Strong, Lean, and Athletic: Diesel Dad 30 Days Challenge w/ Anders Varner and Doug Larson- Barbell Shrugged #535
“We help busy dads get strong, lean, and athletic without sacrificing family, fatherhood, or fitness.” - Diesel Dad What you want: A strong, lean, and athletic body that you are proud of. What you are missing most right now. Confidence - Believing in yourself is hard when you don’t feel good in your body. Discipline - When time gets tough, you fall off the wagon, and struggle getting back on. Competence - The lack of confidence and discipline bleeds into every area of life. If you can’t take care of yourself it makes taking care of others even more challenging. These are the traits of leaders, role models, and every dad deserves to have them. Fitness, Family, and Fatherhood are essential to happiness and busy dads should have a fitness program that ensures the success of all three. Join the Diesel Dad Challenge Now.
