Why I Workout (Even When I Don’t Want To)
Share
Let’s be honest — some days, the only thing I feel like lifting is a remote control.
Between the school run, work calls, dishes, tantrums (sometimes mine), and late-night snack negotiations, finding time (and energy) to work out can feel like trying to dunk with dad knees.
But I do it anyway...most of the time.
Not for the abs. For the aftermath.
I’m not chasing a six-pack (let’s be real — I’m chasing my kids).
I do it because one day, my daughter will bring home someone who calls me “Sir,” and I want my biceps to respond before I do.
I do it because:
- 💪 I want to be strong for my kids, not just around them.
- 🧠 It keeps me sane when life gets loud.
- 🎯 It reminds me that showing up — even imperfectly — still counts.
- 🥤 I want to age like a fine protein shake: lumpy but effective.
This isn’t just about fitness.
It’s about fatherhood.
About being present, energetic, and setting the tone.
We’re not just lifting weights — we’re lifting futures.
So, to the dad fitting squats between bedtime stories, or turning push-ups into peek-a-boo breaks — I see you.
You’re doing the work. You’re showing up.
That’s what makes you a Dadthlete.
