Fit Dad Fitness Podcast

This week's topic: My shutdown period after my hernia surgery is over, and I'm ready to ease back into training. Today, I talk about what the last two weeks has been like, what my training will look like moving forward, and what the future looks like for me personally. The Friday Reflex is a roughly 10- to 15-minute episode each Friday of my thoughts on a particular idea or issue that's been on my mind lately. It's short but — I hope — powerful.

Three-time PGA tour winner Scott Stallings joins the show this week to give the backstory of how he went from being 50-plus pounds overweight and in poor health to being one of professional golf's fittest athletes. Everything changed for Scott several years ago when a routine doctor's visit snapped him into the reality of his health situation. From there, Scott set about making little changes each day to bring about a radical transformation that has not only positively affected his health, but also his career as a pro athlete and his family life. We also discuss what life during coronavirus has been like for professional athletes at a time — as of the recording of this interview — when most sports are shut down. Don't miss this episode!

It's a new Fit Dad Q&A episode for your ears to enjoy this week, and I've got some great questions to answer! Questions answered this episode: - How have you kept up your fitness goals during this pandemic? - My left bicep/arm is weaker and smaller than my right. How do you "catch it up?" - How long and how many days a week do you workout? I'm wondering if I worked out more if I would see results quicker. - I seem to have lost all motivation to get in shape. My main goal is to put on muscle. I have been trying all sorts of variations and programs and nothing seems to work.

In this pre-Father's Day episode of the show, I am joined by Matt Fox, an Australian-based husband, father, and bodyweight training coach. Four years ago, Matt ditched the frustrations and mundane-ness of going to the gym in favor of do-anywhere bodyweight training, and he's thrived ever since. Not only is he feeling better and stronger than before, but he's also found new time to spend with his family while inspiring others to do the same. In this episode, Matt and I discuss what that transition was like, what his results have been, and the myths he hears most often about bodyweight training.

My guest this week is Justin Murphy of iCoach Nutrition (https://icoachnutrition.com/). Justin and I cover a lot of ground during our conversation, from his insights into how his nutrition coaching clients are sticking to plan during stay-at-home orders, to how he came to figure out he wanted to be a nutrition coach, the digging into his past and how he set his life straight after an incident that could have easily derailed him.
