FACT:

A lot of gym rats might be able to load up the bar with hundreds of pounds for endless sets of the bench press but can’t even do 10 correct push ups…

I don’t think you have any business bench pressing if you can’t properly perform 20 perfect pushups.

If you can’t handle your own bodyweight, how functional is it to lie down on a bench and press additional weight?

Don’t get me wrong, the basic barbell bench press is a great upper body exercise for building muscle, but it’s depended on WAY too much to build a strong chest and shoulders.

Most people consider Pushups and Bench Presses both chest dominant exercises. But there is a big difference between the two…

The bench press is an open chain exercise and the pushup is a closed chain exercise.

The “chain” just refers to the kinetic chain of your body, which simply means that all of your body’s muscles are inter-connected in a “chain” and therefore the movements you make are also part of a that kinetic chain.

Open chain exercises allow your feet or hands to move freely like in a bench press, dumbbell curl or leg curl.

Closed chain exercises keep your feet or hands in a fixed position like on the ground during pushups or squats and even chinups.

Closed chain exercises are safer and more effective for real world functional strength because they allow your bodyweight to move through space in a full range of motion while distributing muscular stress through many muscles instead of isolating and stressing single muscles.

A big reason why so many bench press addicts develop shoulder problems is because of not the shoulders directly but due to the lack of movement in your upper back when pinned to a bench during bench presses.

The muscles in your upper back surrounding your shoulders blades and scapula play a crucial role in stabilizing and allowing movement of your shoulder girdle during pressing movements.

Pushups eliminates this problem by allowing your upper back to contract in a full range of motion when you lower yourself to the ground.

Plus for busy dads bodyweight exercises are great because they can be done anywhere without any equipment!

(here is my favorite pressing exercise)

So if you want to incorporate a simple but intense pushup workout into your workout routine give the 100 rep pushup workout a try.

Once or twice a week at the end of your regular workout aim for performing 100 pushups and time yourself to see how long it takes you.

Do as many reps as you can and do however many sets it takes you to reach 100.

For example if you can do 20 pushups at one time before failure start with 20 but as you fatigue you will probably drop down to sets of 10. You will obviously need more rest between sets as you get closer to 100.

Take as much rest as you need to get at least 10 reps for each set until you reach the 100 rep mark.

Most guys in pretty good shape will be able to complete 100 reps anywhere between 5-10 minutes.

Don’t worry how long it takes you. Just record your time and push hard to beat it the next time around.

Before you know it you will join the pushup century club and have the perfect pecs to prove it!

Perfect Pushups Tips

*Keep your abs braced tight and your hips in line with your body.

*Tuck your chin in like a “double chin” and look straight down at the floor to form a straight line from your head to your toes.

*Push your elbows and upper arms back in a 45 degree direction opposed to straight out to your sides.

PS. Be sure to check out my training article in the April/May issue of Inside Fitness magazine!

No matter what level of fitness knowledge you think you may have, you always need to look and learn from other trainers and coaches to improve your mind and body. As the author of Dad Fitness, I still strive to learn and improve my knowledge to help others get the fastest results possible.

After spending 5 days hanging out with guys like Craig Ballantyne of Men’s Health and fitness icon Shawn Phillips, I started to pick up on some of the secrets these guys use to stay in awesome shape even while traveling.

So here are 5 Tips To Stay Fit While Traveling.

1. Workout No Matter What. After a busy 5 days of sitting on my butt in meetings and seminars I still managed to workout 4 out of the 5 days while in Florida. Which is even more than I workout at home!

The first day I got together with Rommel Acda of FitInAHurry.com, and Deb Froehlich of CelluiteCircuits.com and we trained together in the hotel gym. It wasn’t very big but had enough to get a great workout using our bodyweight and a few dumbbells.

Then the next day along with Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training we all headed to the local Powerhouse gym to get a great workout in a more upbeat gym atmosphere.

Wether it’s a quick hotel room bodyweight workout, a hotel gym workout or a Powerhouse gym workout, just make sure you do some exercise while traveling to offset all the sitting down on airplanes and in meetings.

2. All You Can Eat. The great thing about travelling to new cities is experiencing new places to eat. But if you’re not careful you could be paying the airlines extra weight on the way home, and I am not talking about your luggage…

So do what all the fit trainers did every morning to start their day off right; eat a nutritious breakfast. Even though our hotel served a FREE buffet breakfast every morning, most everyone who is in great shape skipped the bacon and breads and had a huge freshly prepared omelet stuffed with veggies with a little fruit on the side, me included. Keep lunch small with a salad or whole grain wrap so you don’t get sleepy during the afternoon meetings, and enjoy a nice dinner with some lean meat and veggies and even a glass of wine.

3. Drink Up. I don’t mean spend your nights at the hotel bar getting sloshed. I mean drink lots of cold refreshing water. It will keep you full and focused and your mind off the donuts and croissants sitting across the conference table.

It’s really easy to drink lots of H2O during these hotel conferences as they usually serve you pitchers of water in your meeting rooms and in the big conference rooms. Just to be sure you always have water on hand, pick up a couple of litres of spring water at the hotel gift shop and keep on ice in your room.

4. Ditch the Cab. If you are up for some sight seeing or heading to a nearby restaurant for dinner, ditch the cab fare, get some directions and walk there instead. Google Maps on your smart phone works great for this!  Walking is a great way to see a new city and burn some calories. Strolling back to the hotel after dinner is a great way to end the evening and ease the guilt from that decadent dessert.

You can also try to find a park or gym a couple miles away and walk or run there to get your heart pumping and your warmup out of the way.

5. Recharge. If you’re traveling solo, staying at a hotel is a great way to get some extra rest and relaxation. You get the bed to yourself, and you have no worries of the kids jumping in the bed at the wee hours of the morning.

It’s also a great time to catch up on some work or read that book you have been trying to get through. A dip in the hotel pool and a hot sauna afterwards might be just what you need to recharge your batteries before you get back on the road.

So there you have it, 5 Travel Tips To Stay Fit so you’re wife still recognizes you when you get home…

How do YOU stay fit on the road? Let me know and leave a comment below.

You might remember this from your old high school math class.

It was Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

Despite Einstein’s well known brilliance, what amazes me even more was he was also a busy dad of 3 kids.

Einstein was known for challenging the status quo and I think if he was alive today he would tell us busy dads who continue to waste time on long boring workouts that leave us even more exhausted to smarten up and fly right!

Einstein doing his interval training

So let’s do the math…

A typical workout may look like this.

Pushups, 3 sets of 12-15 reps, rest 60 secs
Deadlifts, 3 sets of 6-8 reps, rest 60 secs
Bicep Curls, 3 sets of 8-10 reps, rest 60 secs
Shoulder Press, 3 sets of 8-10 reps, rest 60 secs

With each set taking almost a minute to complete and resting a minute in between sets this workout would take you about 30 minutes on paper.

But in reality, this workout would take even longer as you would have to move around the gym setting up each exercise and changing weights, not to mention actually getting to the gym.

Even a 40 minute workout is not bad compared to most endurance type workouts found in the muscle mags on your local newsstand.

What if I could show you how to get this same great workout using all the same exercises in half the time and without all the equipment?

Would you be interested? If your a busy dad, you should be.

Enter the Dad Fitness Theory of Efficiency, which is
E=Dad ^Fit

I am so smart…SMRT

Where E is Efficiency, Dad is well… you!, and Fit is what you will become using this workout routine

So it’s time we pulled a General Motors with our workouts by getting rid of the excess junk and focusing on what works…no offense Saturn owners.

Check out this video to see the same Dad Fitness workout using the exact same exercises done in all in one movement but without the wasted time.

Plus all you need is a simple set of dumbbells!

Click here to view the embedded video.

*Warmup with 10 reps of bodyweight burpees.

Dumbbell Pushup, no rest, go directly to
Dumbbell Deadlift, no rest, go directly to
Dumbell Bicep Curl, no rest, go directly to
Dumbbell Shoulder Press, rest 60 secs

Complete this circuit 8-10 times before resting, and repeat the circuit 3 times.

Total workout time is about 15 minutes. How’s that for efficiency?

So lets get smart with our time and put the “work” back into our workouts so we can spend less time with the dumbbells and more time being a dad…

Do you like playing cards?

Personally I never enjoyed playing cards, I just couldn’t get into it…

But that is about to change because I just discovered a cool new workout routine that fits in great with the Dad Fitness Lifestyle and also fits in your pocket!

Have you ever heard of FitDeck? FitDeck is a unique deck of 56 playing cards containing illustrations and instructions describing over 50 different exercises, stretches, and movements.

These ‘no-equipment’ FitDecks contain exercises that require only your bodyweight to perform. ‘FitDeck Bodyweight’ is also the most popular series of ‘no-equipment’ FitDecks.

If you’ve never done a full bodyweight chin-up before, don’t worry! With the right training, just about anybody can work themselves up to performing one or more full range chin-ups. In this article, you’ll learn all the steps and progressions you need in order get from zero to one! And it’s NOT going to require pull-downs OR self-spotting machines like the Gravitron (I’m not going to take ANY resistance away from you!). So first off, we need to distinguish between a chin-up and a pull-up. A pull-up is generally done with a wider grip and an overhand grip on the bar. This is actually a HARDER exercise to perform than the chin-up. The chin-up is done with a close grip on the bar (hands only a few inches apart) with an underhand grip. If she can do it, you can do it! The reasons the wide-grip pull-up is harder is that first, the biceps are not able to contribute as much to the movement because your arms are directly out to the sides. Second, the lats (the muscles of the back) don’t have as good of leverage with the arms out in this position. The chin-up places the lats in a better position to contract and allows the biceps to contribute more to the movement. And this is what we want, because to do that first chin-up, you’re going to need ALL the muscle power you can get! The first consideration to look at when it comes to chinning is your overall bodyweight. If you’re carrying a lot of extra weight, it’s going to make it that much harder to perform a chin-up because obviously, you’re going to have to lift that extra bodyweight up, too! Dropping extra weight is definitely going to help you achieve your goal of that first chin-up, though it’s not 100% necessary…it just means you’ll have to build up that much more strength in order to perform the exercise. When it comes to building up strength for that first chin-up, I prefer to do it over the long-term rather than trying to get there all at once. The only thing I ask is that you NOT try and perform a full chin-up until I tell you to. That’s it. I don’t want you trying and failing and getting discouraged. So take it step-by-step, build the foundations…I’ll let you know when you’re ready. PHASE 1 So the first step you’re going to take is one that is very simple and straightforward…you’re going to grab the bar and just HANG from it for as long as you can. That’s itThe reason? I find that a lot of people simply don’t have the necessary GRIP strength to perform a full chin-up and building it up with a very specific drill like this helps tremendously. So at the beginning of every single workout and at the end of every single workout you do (NOT just back workouts but EVERY workout), you’ll stand under the chin-up bar, reach up and grab it with a close, underhand grip, then just hang at arms-length for as long as you can until your grip gives out. This is going to help you get used to supporting your entire bodyweight on the chin-up bar and it’s going to build up that very specific grip strength we’re looking for. Repeat this drill until you’re able to hang from the chin-up bar for at least 30 seconds before your grip gives out. Once you can do that, you’re ready for Phase 2. ** One tip I find very useful is to cross your feet when doing any chin or pull-up related exercise. For some reason, this locks your body into the position more and gives you more pulling strength. PHASE 2 The second phase of training is going to be partial reps in the bottom range of motion of the chin-up. Now that your grip strength is built up enough that you can support yourself on the bar for a good length of time, we’re going to start adding in movement. Assume your hanging position. Now pull yourself up 2 or 3 inches and hold for several seconds. Lower yourself back to the hanging position then immediately pull back up a few inches again and hold for several seconds. Repeat this until either your grip gives out or you can no longer pull yourself up those few inches. Remember, it’s a VERY short range of motion but we want to hold that position for at least a few seconds to get target stress on the muscles. You’ll do one set at the beginning of every workout and one set at the end of every workout you do. I’ve found this high-frequency approach to work extremely well because it allows your body to gradually adapt over time. You don’t set giant goals that you get spooked about and don’t think you’ll ever achieve – you set small, achievable, repeatable goals that build on each other to get you to the end result. Once you can do at least 10 reps of this partial-range and pause training, then it’s on to Phase 3… PHASE 3 Now we move on to Negative Training. You may have heard of this before…now you’re going to put it to use! We’ve built up a foundation of grip strength (which is HUGE) and a foundation of pulling power in the strongest range of motion of the exercise (the bottom few inches). It’s time to test yourself against gravity. Set a chair, bench or box in front of the chin-up bar. Ideally, it should be a height where you can stand on it and put yourself into the top position of the chin-up (chin just above the bar) while still standing on it. Because what you’ll be doing next is gripping the bar, getting into position then lowering yourself down slowly. This is called a “negative rep.” But here’s the key that a lot of people miss when it comes to Negative Training… The idea is to not just passively lower yourself down…the idea is to ACTIVELY FIGHT GRAVITY all the way down! So when you take your grip on the bar and take your feet off the bench, I want you to try your darndest to pull yourself UP, even though gravity is pulling you DOWN. This generally will result in a slow downward rep, with you fighting it all the way. When you get to the bottom, let go of the bar, climb back onto the bench and repeat. In your negative set, perform reps in this fashion until one of two things happens… 1. You grab the bar, take your feet off the bench and can’t slow your descent at all, dropping right into the position within a second or two. 2. You get to 6 reps of this negative training in your set. What do those guidelines mean? In the first one, it means your muscles aren’t actually doing any more work and there’s no reason to continue. In the second, when we hit 6 reps, that’s plenty when it comes to negative training. If, on that sixth rep, you can still control your descent, you’re doing well! So here’s the deal…in your workouts (again one set at the beginning and one set at the end of every single workout you do), do this negative training. This will probably amount to 3 to 5 times per week, depending how frequently you’re in the gym. Keep going in this fashion until you are able to do 6 negative reps and on the SIXTH rep, you can still pretty well control your descent and don’t just crash down. Now, for one calendar week, NO chin-up training. You’re going to give your muscles a break from the specific training and allow them to recover. PHASE 4 The last step before hitting chins on your own is the Flexed Arm Hang. Now that your muscles have recovered from the Negative Training, we’re going to set that bench back up and get you into the top position of the chin. Take your feet off the bench and HOLD that top chin position for as long as you can. Hold it until your arms start to straighten and your lats start to give. Now FIGHT that all the way down until you’re hanging at arms-length on the bar. That’s it! Just one set and one rep, done ONLY at the beginning of each workout (when you’re strongest), not at the end. Repeat this procedure (one set of hanging at the start of each workout) until you can hang for at least 30 seconds before you start to lower down. Once you can do that, it’s SHOW TIME! YOUR FIRST CHIN-UP Give yourself a few days off from the Flexed Arm Hang phase before doing your first chin. You want to be fully recovered and feeling strong! Grab the bar (at this point, you will be so used to grabbing the chin-up bar that there will be NO fear associated with it, as there may have been before). You’ll KNOW you can do this. Tighten your grip, tighten your muscles, then PULL! Because of all the background work you’ve done, I have a feeling you’re going FLY right up! Heck, when you get the first one, if you feel good, try a second one! And finally, if you do go through this chin-up program and WHEN you do your first chin-up, send me an email and tell me your story! I want to hear from you!

1. Leg extensions- Unfortunately this exercise seems to be the extent of most guys leg training. Probably because sitting down and pumping out reps of leg extensions are a lot easier than squatting down with hundreds of pounds on your back.

They all involve sitting or lying down, (which we are all experts at already) and they work only a small section of muscle, allowing you to pump out endless reps without much effort.

For you busy guys who want to get the most out of your short fat loss workouts, stop wasting your valuable time on these old school exercises that break your body down instead of building it up…

I have very little interest these days in all the media-hyped stories of dramatic, rapid losses of body weight. “Big losers” don’t impress me, for numerous reasons. For example, weight is not fat. “Weight” could be composed of mostly lean tissue, or it could be mostly water weight. In fact, I would go a step further and point out that rapid loss of bodyweight correlates very highly with a greater chance of relapse, weight re-gain and long term failure.

So what does impress me? What gets my attention?

I pay attention to what the “long term maintainers” have to say – those are the people who have maintained an ideal weight for over a year… preferably even 2-5 years or more.

The difference between losers and maintainers

As I was researching the subject of long term weight maintenance recently, I was surprised at the huge amount of research that’s already been done in this area.

One paper that caught my interest was published by Judy Kruger and colleagues in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, titled,

“Dietary and physical activity behaviors among adults successful at weight loss maintenance.”

This was not an experimental study, but a compilation of data from the “Styles Survey” which was representative of the U.S. population and asked respondants questions about strategies to aid with maintaining an ideal weight.

In this particular survey, only one-third (30.96%) of the respondents said they were successful at keeping their weight off. The researchers wanted to know the difference between the small group that was successful and the majority that were not.

Both groups reduced the amount of food they consumed, they ate smaller portions, more fruits and vegetables, fewer fatty foods and fewer sweetened beverages.

Not really any surprises there, but what we want to know most is not what losers and maintainers have in common, but what the maintainers did that the losers didn’t.

Some major differences emerged between losers and maintainers:

First, a significantly higher proportion of successful maintainers reported exercising 30 minutes or more daily, and they also reported adding other physical activity to their daily schedules (recreation, sports, physical work, etc). In addition, more of the successful maintainers included weight training in their exercise regimens than did the losers.

Reducing sedentary activities (TV watching, etc) was also a significant difference between those who successfully maintained and those who did not.

The next big difference that separated the successful maintainers from the unsuccessful was in their “self-monitoring behaviors” including:

• tracking calories
• tracking body weight
• planning meals
• tracking fat
• measuring the amount of food on their plate

Unfortunately, these types of self-monitoring behaviors, especially weighing and measuring food and counting calories, are among the most avoided and even criticized weight control techniques. Some weight loss “experts” even claim that it’s detrimental to count calories, weigh yourself or measure and weigh your food.

However, these self monitoring behaviors are being identified more and more frequently in the research as part of “the difference that makes the difference.” I agree, and they have always played a major role in my own Burn The Fat program.

A final difference was that people who reported self-perceived “barriers” to their success were 48-76% less likely to be a successful maintainer.

For example, they said they had no time to exercise, they were too tired to exercise or it was too hard to maintain an exercise routine. I interpret this as: the unsuccessful losers were excuse makers!

THE TOP 5 STRATEGIES TO BE A SUCCESSFUL MAINTAINER

So let’s recap and turn these research findings into some practical action steps you can apply today.

1. Increase your total daily activity level, including formal exercise as well as sports, physical work or recreational activity. Exercise improves weight loss, but more importantly, it is critical for weight maintenance.

2. Decrease sedentary recreational activities by cutting back on TV watching, computer games and web surfing. Take up physical recreation such as sports, boating, biking, walking, hiking, gardening, physical hobbies and playing with your kids, if you have them.

3. Include weight training as part of your formal exercise program, throughout the fat loss phase and even more seriously during maintenance.

4. Track and monitor everything! Count calories and nutrients, measure your portion sizes, weigh your food, plan your menus in writing and monitor your body weight and body fat percentage.

5. Avoid excuses and maintain positive beliefs and attitudes towards your environment and what you perceive as “barriers.” For example, say, “I can always make time for what is most important to me” instead of, “I don’t have time to exercise.”

If you’re currently on a fat loss journey, and you want to know how good your odds are for being a successful maintainer, it’s pretty easy to predict using these 5 strategies. If you’re not using all 5 of them yet, then when would be a good time to start today?

There are limitations to survey results such as these, including the fact that they are cross sectional, and therefore cannot prove causality. However, I believe these findings are important and significant.

Not only do they confirm previous similar studies and agree with the findings of other groups of successful maintainers (such as the National Weight Control Registry), I found that these results match precisely what I’ve seen among my most successful “Burn The Fat” clients.

Dad Fitness is my innovative exercise method of doing strength training and high intensity interval training in one workout. You workout only 3 days in an entire week! You can get your workout done in under an hour so you can spend time with your family and even have some time left to meet your buddies on the golf course.

The Dad Fitness workouts starts with a short bodyweight warm up (this should take no more than 5 mins) and then we do strength training for 30 minutes with full body movements using basic barbells and dumbbells or just your bodyweight – no
fancy equipment needed.

Then we finish with 16 minutes of interval training. We are using the most efficient and effective training methods, that is backed by science. The stuff that gets you the most results in the least amount of time. So we are not doing long, slow cardio sessions and we’re not doing 5 or 6 day per week bodybuilding magazine programs.

It’s focused on giving you the most efficient and effective workout in the shortest amount of time. Your a busy dad, you don’t have time to be spending your whole workout curling dumbbells in front of the mirror.

Do only what you need to do and then get out of the gym.

Dad Fitness was specifically designed FOR busy dads BY a busy dad.

Q: Do I have to eat like a bird to finally lose this gut?

Answer:

Absolutely not!

Following the Dad Fitness nutrition guidelines you will be eating more than you are now. But, you will be eating fat burning foods, at the right times to send your metabolism into overdrive. I am a guy who is known for my huge appetite and I like to eat hearty great tasting food that keeps me full and satisfied. So you will not be a hungry man no more! Plus, I have even included a dessert book that gives you mouth watering sweet treats that can be whipped up in about 5 minutes.

With the Dad Fitness system you get 3 incredible nutrition resources with quick meal plans and recipes to burn off that belly blubber once and for all.

Q: I’m sick of doing the same ol’workout, how can I make my workouts fun?

ANSWER:

I hear ya. Everyone seems to be stuck in the exercise rut. Go to any gym on a Monday and you won’t be able to get near a bench press, cause Mondays seem to be chest day for all the bodybuilding crowd.

Some of the major reasons for quiting exercise include:

- Using the same workouts over and over and over again for extended periods of time with no results.( or as I like to call it, INSANITY)

- Not including the most effective exercise like high-intensity strength training and interval training.

- And choosing inefficient isolation, machine-based exercises instead of standing, multi-muscle exercises.

The best fat loss workouts are designed with variety, intensity, and efficiency in mind so that you get more results in less time.

That’s why the Dad Fitness workouts change every 4 weeks, and you’ll use only exercises that train multiple muscle groups at the same time – thus burning more fat with each repetition.

By changing the training intensity of your workouts, as well as using a variety of repetition ranges for your lifting, and including interval training, I guarantee that you will start having fun with your workouts and fat loss plateaus will be a thing of the
past.

PS. Remember, there’s no risk at all to at least TRY my Dad Fitness system because you have an 8 week guarantee.

That’s more than enough time to take these programs for a “test drive” and see for yourself just how much fat you can burn or how much lean muscle you can gain.

Make this the summer that you step up to the plate and become the best dad you can be for your family and yourself!
