I hope you are enjoying March Madness as much as me!

…and NO I am not talking about basketball.

I am talking about enjoying the start of the spring season with your family by getting out and being active, no matter where you live.

Spring is still a ways away here in Labrador, Canada, but any days above zero is good for me!

So this weekend my family and I headed down to our friends cabin for the night to enjoy the warm March temperatures, do some snowmobiling, snowshoeing and even a little ice fishing…but we didn’t have much luck with the fish.

I had a few nibbles on my hook but the fish just weren’t hungry I guess.

But everyone else sure was… so when we got back to the cabin I fired up the BBQ, opened up a cold beer and grilled everyone steaks and turkey sausage, Mmmmm…

Good Food, Good Times…That’s what the Dad Fitness Lifestyle is all about!

Our 10 month old baby daughter Matea really enjoyed her FIRST snowmobile ride and also loved watching the Grey Jays land in Daddy’s hand for a bite of cheese!

Stop eating like a bird to lose weight and start LIVING the Dad Fitness Lifestyle…

I am going to have to make this post quick as I am only running on fumes today…..zzzz…

..oops almost drifted off there…

Our baby 10 month old daughter is in the painful process of teething and I was up most of the night with her last night.

I can’t imagine how painful this must be for a baby as I have been having some pain with one of my wisdom teeth the last few weeks myself as well.

What’s the point of getting wisdom teeth anyway!…I am wise enough

So after us watching lots of late night TV and with only a few hours of sleep for the both of us I still managed to get to the gym today when my wife came home for lunch.

The key to long-term consistency with your workout routine is sometimes you just have to go do your workout anyway without thinking if you feel up for it or not.

Once you start you will start to feel better and be glad that you did.

I usually get my Dad Fitness workouts done in about an hour but today I never had that much time so I supercharged my workouts with SUPERSETS.

By working opposite muscles back to back, such as chest and back without rest I saved time and had an intense workout and was finished my normal one hour workout in half the time!

Working opposite muscles in this way actually allows the opposing muscle to recover faster in between sets because the opposite muscle has to relax for the other to contract.

I was soaked after this 30 minute workout and even had to time to drop into the convenience store on the way home for a post-workout chocolate milk.

Here is what I did today.

A Incline Barbell Bench Press, 1 max set of 3-5 reps
B1 Flat DB Bench Press, no rest, 4 sets of 6-10 reps
B2 Bent Over DB Rows, 4 sets of 10 reps
C1 Rope Cable Upright Rows, no rest, 3 sets of 12-15 reps
C2 Hanging Leg Raises, 3 sets of 10-15 reps

So for days when you seemed too rushed to get a quick workout, take your normal workout and superset the exercises to get it done in half the time.

All 16 weeks of the Dad Fitness workout program use supersets to save time so you can be a super dad and get on with your day.

Ahhhh…f$%* that hurts!

That’s how I felt this morning as I bent over to pickup my baby daughter off the floor this morning.

After getting back to the gym after a week off and doing my first lower body workout in almost 2 weeks yesterday my legs are pretty sore and stiff!

For the best way to relieve muscle soreness check out the video below.

We have all experienced this one time or another, muscle soreness or what the exercise geeks (me included) refer to as DOMS.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness…

This can occur whether you have been working out for years or are just starting to exercise.

Basically its the microscopic tearing of your muscle fibers that causes the inflammation and swelling of the muscles putting additional pressure around the surrounding joints.

But I bet what you really what to know is how to avoid it or even relieve muscle soreness when you do get it.

To prevent it, try not to do much too soon and ease into any exercise program wether its lifting weights, running or your favorite recreational sport. Whatever workout routine you are starting, just do half of the exercise volume to introduce your muscles to the exercises.

Warmup properly BEFORE you workout and stretch AFTER you workout to remove the lactic acid from your muscles and start the recovery process.

To help relieve it when you do over do it from doing too much or doing something new, get some “active rest” by going for a walk with your family or playing with your kids at the playground (lying on the couch watching 24 is not considered active rest!).

Also take rest days from your workouts which means don’t work those sore muscles with heavy weight training until the soreness subsides.

Make sure you are eating high quality protein throughout the day to provide your body with the nutrients it needs for muscle repair and stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.

Vitamin C has been shown to aid in muscle recovery as well as hot saunas and deep tissue massage.

Getting lots of omega 3 fats in your diet through fish oils, mixed nuts and avocados will also help to scavenge free radicals and reduce inflammation in your muscles and throughout your entire body

These recovery tips all help…

But for the BEST way to relieve muscle soreness watch this quick video.
