The scariest thought for me as a dad?

Having to look my kids in the eyes and say, “No, Daddy can’t play with you.”

I’ve seen firsthand what pain, stiffness, and poor health can do, not just to people, but to families.

I saw it as a PTA, and I saw it in my own dad and I dam near became that dad broken down from training the wrong way and trying to out work a bad diet.

That’s why I don’t chase six-packs or ego lifts anymore.

I train in a way that keeps me pain-free, mobile, and able to play full out with my kids.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about looking jacked for Instagram, it’s about being the kind of dad your kids can count on.

👉 Comment below, what’s YOUR reason for staying in shape and what's one small habit you can start tomorrow to live a healthier and active life?

I feared not being able to get up and down off the ground when I became a dad.

Because before I became a dad at 33, everyday I was in so much pain and could have never sat like this.

The years of training like an athlete and doing CrossFit, my body and joints were breaking down on me.

Growing up as a kid and even as an adult, people told me I would end up with bad knees just like my dad.

And I believed it for the first 30 years of my life.

And because I feared that, I had became that person with painful and bad knees.

But I made a decision one day, when I was sitting stuck on the ground that I would not accept having bad knees that would limit my ability to be a dad.

And thank God from that point on and my past experience and expertise allowed me to fully heal and rehab my knees to be 100% at the age of 39 without having surgery or taking any pills.

I hit this rock bottom point in my joint health that scared the s**t out of me...

And thats when my mindset, nutrition, and fitness changed to have me in the best shape and pain free as dad.

Its not too late and anything is possible if you decide and put in the work.

If you're over 40 and still training like you're 20, this might hurt to hear.

8 years of CrossFit.
Dozens of competitions.
Personal bests I never thought I’d hit.

And by 30… I was falling apart.

Knee sleeves just to squat.
Wrist wraps to pick up a barbell.
Elbows, shoulders, and joints screaming every morning.

I’d been “training hard” for over a decade…
But the truth?
I was spending more time managing injuries than building real fitness.

And here’s the part most guys won’t admit…
The big, shiny gym muscles from endless chest days and bicep curls?
They don’t mean much if you can’t wake up, move, or play with your kids without pain.

Then life changed.
My first kid was on the way.
And the thought of spending 2+ hours in a sweaty gym under fluorescent lights…
Just so I could flex in the mirror?
Hard pass.

So I made a scary decision…
I quit CrossFit.
I quit bodybuilding splits.
I quit chasing gym numbers just to say I lifted “X” amount of weight.

I was terrified I’d lose all my strength and muscle.
But what happened shocked me:

✅ No more joint pain
✅ More muscle definition
✅ Better mobility & athletic ability
✅ More energy and time to actually live my life

All from training at home with:
A 10, 15, and 20 lb steel mace…
And bodyweight movements designed to protect my joints, not destroy them.

Now at 39, I’m fitter, stronger, and more confident than I ever was in my 20s, without needing stepping foot in a gym.

Every man over 40 has a choice.

You can be the dad training like a 20-year-old in the gym…

Or the dad getting functionally fit at home in half the time.

I love all the car ride jam sessions we had this week!

This was the hot song for week 1 of school.

We'll see what it'll be next week!

I did something this week that I had never done...

Worked out early in the morning!

I've always kept my workouts anytime after 9 am.

But instead of making a time excuses, I just woke up earlier and got in my 20 min workout in my garage and had more energy to do all the other things that will always take up our time.

Fill up your cup first so that you can be the best dad and perform at a high level because you feel good and have the energy.

Santa Roasa Beach 📍 The beach is one of our favorite places to be!

Put many miles on the beach wagon and had a lot of fun beach time.

Got in a little fitness each day and even had pizza and ice cream. No regrets.

I'm so grateful for the adventure I get to have and the family I get to experience it with.
