There was a good thread the other day about staying Veeky Forums as a parent. I was the user who's going to be a dad in two months time and got some good advice.
This thread is about advice for parents. Work out routines for limited time, like 3 days per week and general bants about family.
Other urls found in this thread:
I'll use my kids to do drop sets on some exercises like pushups and skull crushers. I can get a workout in and they are entertained. I usually work out at work but want them to see that fitness is fun and essential. As a former fat kid and want to make sure they learn early about taking care if themselves.
My oldest got me back into working out after getting out of the Navy. We were sitting on the couch and she mentioned how my boobs are as big as mom's.
I have around an hour at work so most of my workout are superset so I can hit a different body part and cut down on rest time.
>tfw 24 kissless virgin but my fatherly instincts are kicking in
ill probably nut in some first chick that will fall for my dick and regret it right after but what the fuck do i know.
Lately i spend a lot of time with my nephew and at first it was awkward but now i kinda enjoy it, teaching him things and stuff
I have a three year old. Hasn't really affected my routine.

What's it like having a functioning family?

Did you backhand that little bitch?
No it wasn't meant to be mean just a legitimate kid question. Made me take a hard look at myself though and how fat I had become.
I hope you never spread your seed
One of my fitness and parenting goals is to always be able to OHP my daughters.
How can I make sure my strength gains keep up with their growth rate?
You stupid selfish narcissistic cunt. You brought a child to the world without being in a stable relationship?
You deserve to be burned alive.
>baby mama
lol fag
I lift 2 times a week and try to get 10,000 steps a day. Been drinking less beer and eating less fast food. Kids are 4 and 1 so they keep me pretty busy but despite that I was surprised to see I had not lost a lot of strength and will probably set a DL pr in a month or two. My daughter wants to work out with me: "when I get older, im too little now dad!" we keep the kids active at the local park so it is my hope we stay a Veeky Forums family.
Congrats bro. Are you married? Age of you and your wife?
True story:

>Kid
>Family invites me to dinner, sit at the table
>Sister 1: Wow user you look like you work out a lot!
>Feelsgoodtobetheking.psd
>Sister 2: pick me up!
>Not sure how to handle this. Figure I might as well have some fun
>Spend the next thirty minutes OHPing LMAO1CHINK, lifting the sisters off the ground and holding them overhead
>They're loving it, so am I
>Sit back down, Mom scoots her chair closer to mine, squeezes my shoulder
>ShewantstheD
>Look over at Dad
>Eyes narrower than usual and fuming
>Didn't get invited back
In conclusion: make sure you can at least lift your kids so they can mire you and not the studly tutor.
I've been doing this with a nephew. He's 11 so it's going to get real in the next couple years.
I work out at lunch for 30 minutes max and do minimalist strength workouts inspired a lot by Dan John's "Easy Strength" articles.
Kids can really get you like that. Just that pure innocence to force you to see things objectively.
the kid ain't yours and everybody knows
OP here, this is seriously what I'm hoping for. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am married, I will be 30 in June and my wife is 25. She does some yoga and we both fell for the fitbit meme (i got a voucher through work for them) and she gets in over 10,000 steps a day.
Not going to lie to you it is very hard to get the time in when they are baby babies, like 1-4 months. Unless you have a home gym of course. Once things normalize you can get right back into it, thankfully my wife likes me strong and is very supportive of my lifting goals.
It is a good life and it looks like my kids are on track to be tall and wide (I am 6'4 and broad), so i hope they will take an interest in lifting or at least a sport.
Good luck with the kids and many happy returns.
OP, get a simple home gym. I have a baby and a two year old so most of my workouts happen in the basement after I put the kids to sleep. I'd of course rather be in the gym but I value the time I spend with them after work.
The feeling when your dog looks at you like that.
Post your wife, faggit
