In this episode of The Fatherhood Fitness Podcast, we’re talking about why you should train for the life you want, not just what fitness influencers say you should be doing.

I share my journey through two hip surgeries, how injuries and life changes have shifted my perspective on training, and why being the strongest guy in the gym isn’t always the goal.

For busy dads, fitness isn’t just about lifting heavier or getting shredded. It’s about having the energy to play with your kids, keep up with daily demands, and feel good in your body.

I’ll break down how to build a realistic workout routine that fits your lifestyle and how simple strength training and a weekly cardio challenge can help you feel your best.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be training a certain way, this episode’s for you. Tune in and learn how to align your fitness goals with your real-life priorities.

Listen now and start training for the life you actually want.

In this episode of The Fatherhood Fitness Podcast, we explore the powerful concept of "Discipline Equals Freedom," inspired by Jocko Willink’s Way of the Warrior Kid.

Anthony shares how he’s introducing this lesson to his young son, applying it to daily routines, and how it’s shaping their understanding of responsibility.
