This Saturday marked a special day in our house.
Our baby daughter Matea turned the big #1 on Saturday and celebrated her 1st Birthday!
Days later…I am still cleaning up cakeUsed Cars move I can’t believe a whole year has gone by since I became a dad.
I have to say it’s been the most challenging AND the most rewarding year of my life.
Looking back I don’t know how I survived on such little sleep!
But when you are suddenly responsible for another little life, you find a way to do what you have to do to be the best damn dad you can be.
Which also involves not forgetting to take care of myself…. I don’t want to be huffing and puffing and out of breath when I am running around the backyard playing with my daughter because I neglected to take time for myself and stay fit with just 3 short workouts a week.
Despite being a busy dad working full-time up to 60 hours a week and running a business on the side , with my Dad Fitness workouts the only weight I gained during the past year has been my 25lb beautiful baby daughter.
I am actually down a few pounds to about 175lbs and a little leaner, compared to this time last year. But I am feeling healthier and stronger than I have ever been thanks to paying extra attention to my warm ups, mobility and my flexibility during my workouts.
I keep things pretty simple with short intense workouts and eating REAL food most of the time.
I work hard in the gym but more importantly work hard at home being a dad, a husband and a man.
That weight on my shoulders is something that I never want to lose…
Happy Birthday Matea.
Enjoy the ride…I will be there every step of the way;-)

Make sure you watch this video below. It really has a powerful message!
Forrest Gump dvd As for me, I had a great workout this afternoon. I got to the gym at 11am instead of my usual 12pm this morning as my wife came home for lunch early so she let me out early, lol
Thanks to my properly designed Dad Fitness workouts I can get to the gym, warm up, workout, stretch and drive home, all within an hour to be back home to resume my daily duties as a stay at home dad with my baby daughter so my wife can head back to work.
…and I only need to do this workout 3 times a week so I don’t have to worry about fitting in a workout everyday!
Here is Day 1 of the new workout routine I started today that I will do for the next 3 weeks.
Day 1-Max Effort Upper Body
Weighted Dips, 1 max set of 3-5 reps
Flat DB Bench Press, 4 sets of 6-10 reps
Bent Over BB Row, 4 sets of 10-15 reps
Bent Over Cable Raise, 3 sets of 10-12
BB Side Bends, 3 sets of 8-12 reps
I have been feeling really good lately with my workouts and I am thankful that I have found the proper balance between family, fitness and fun by following the Dad Fitness Lifestyle.
If YOU find yourself feeling stressed about your health, wealth and happiness during these tough economic times you need to watch this video!
There is nothing like a little perspective to show you that if you take a minute to just look around, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING…
Let me know what you do to keep things in perspective by posting a comment below.

When people see me eat burgers and pizza, the first question they ask me is
“How do you eat this stuff and stay in such great shape?”
My first answer is with 3 short and simple, BUT intense Dad Fitness workouts each week.
These build strength and lean muscle which is a must if you want to increase your metabolism and force your body to burn fat 24 hours around the clock, even while your sleeping!
…which seems to be a commodity here lately in the Barker household with our teething 10 month old daughter. Poor baby…
Then my second answer is that MY homemade pizza and burgers is not the same as YOUR pizza and burgers that you feed your family.
They taste better and are actually GOOD for your health!
So sit back, relax and watch me fire up my BBQ and show you
how to make the best burgers Dad Fitness style!
WARNING: This video may contain really good food!

It’s good to be home.
I was in Toronto all week attending some business meetings and networking with some of the top fitness professionals.
We also had lots of fun as we checked out a Toronto Raptors basketball game and had a great view from our own skybox. The players even looked big from that distance, they must be monsters in person!
For times when you are away from home for work or even vacation, you can still stay on track with your workout routine by doing quick bodyweight workouts in your hotel room or if you have the time you can get a great workout in at the hotel gym.
I actually did both during the week as I knew that the gyms would be closed on this long weekend when I returned home.
So check out this quick hotel room bodyweight workout for times when you are on the road.
No excuses!
