I Was the Dad Who Couldn't Keep Up With His Own Kids

At 42, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise the guy staring back. I was tired all the time, carrying weight I didn't want, and using "I'm too busy" as my excuse for everything.

I didn't join a fancy gym or hire an expensive coach. I figured out how to get fit around real family life — early mornings, home workouts, eating food the whole family actually likes.

Now I share everything I've learned — the workouts, the nutrition, the mindset — so other dads don't have to figure it all out alone.
