Fitness is the lens.
Not the subject.
Most training advice is built for men with more time, more sleep and fewer people depending on them. The Whole Dad Project is for the years when none of that is true. The training still matters. It just has to survive the week you actually had.
The plans were not the problem.
The assumptions were.
Gym floors, the Bay Club, then a coaching business. Hundreds of clients. I used to look at the ones with kids and think, just train, what is so hard about it. What I did not understand is that with kids everything takes planning, and every kid is different. The plans all assume time you do not have and energy you spent hours ago.
You never start over.
A missed day does not erase the work that came before it.
Who started it.
Tony. Dad of two.
Trainer since 2012.
I'm running on the sleep I can get, with a corporate day job that has nothing to do with any of this. There is no set time. It happens when it can. I don't go back and forth trying to convince myself to do it. I just do it.
I'm also a veteran, and I'm sober. Neither one taught me discipline. I had that already, and so do you. They taught me the only standard that compounds is the one you can hold on your worst week. And they picked the cause the first race runs for.
Fatherhood is an athletic endeavor.
It is the thing everything else in your life runs on top of.
They are not listening to you. They are watching you.
Show the work.
Every factual number in a Whole Dad plan has to earn its place before it is printed. If the work cannot survive real life, it is not finished.
This project makes no money on charity or donations, ever.

I read everything myself, and I answer. It is one man and an inbox, so give it a day or two.
