The Weekend Workout
Whatta’ weekend!
Friday night we had to take our 13 month old daughter Matea to the emergency room after a gust of wind blew the front door of our house that was open, unfortunately hitting her in the front of the head.

Sporting her bruise like a champ!
She started to get a huge bump right away so we played it safe and took her to the ER just in case. Thankfully the swelling went down rather fast after we applied an ice pack and it was only a minor boo-boo and she hardly cried afterward, she’s a trooper!
Then Saturday night my wife and I had date night and we went out for some fine dining. I had the wild mushrooms to start and then ordered the herb crusted rack of lamb that was fall-off-the-bone delicious.

That's some good eatin'...
Sunday brought on more fun, food and family with a BBQ at the in-laws house. I enjoyed a burger, more ribs, and a couple Cuban beers that Kathy’s parents brought back from their vacation awhile ago!

Almost as good as our Canadian beers!

If you want to see how I workout on the weekends when I have a busy week and can’t get to the gym, READ ON…
The Weekend Workout.
Is a 2 day workout plan that only requires 2 back to back workouts on Saturday and Sunday. This program also requires that you are willing to dedicate time on your weekends to 2 intense workouts.
Yes…I did say intense because what you miss in QUANTITY, you will make up for in QUALITY. These workouts will not be your 10 minute fluff workouts using soup cans.
These 2 workouts will take at least an hour each and require some real-man hard work and intensity, so don’t complain or make excuses, after all, you have all week long to get over it!
I also recommend that you workout in the morning if at all possible for mainly two reasons.
#1 . You won’t have any chance of blowing off these workouts if things come up during the rest of the day. These are your only scheduled workouts for the week so you have to make them count.
#2. You want to take advantage of maximizing your metabolism early in the day so your body will be primed for burning fat and building muscle all weekend long. So if you are going to be a weekend warrior, you have to save your energy for your weekend workouts, so staying out late at the bar with the guys from work when you finish up on Friday isn’t going to put you onto the path to being the fittest dad on the playground .
A man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do. So it’s time to step up to the plate and knock out the excuses with the Weekend Workout…
Out of all the different workout routines I have done over the years there is one that I keep coming back to, the one that never fails me don’t matter how many curve balls life throws my way.
It’s called the AB Split.
It’s simple and effective and best of all it is easy to work into any busy dads schedule.
You just have two different workouts where you train half of your body one day and the other half the next.
Now the beauty of The Weekend Workout is that you can workout on back to back days, in this case, Saturday and Sunday because you are not annihilating and isolating specific muscle groups.
You will be using the classic compound exercises that work many of your body’s largest muscle groups revving up your metabolism to burn fat and increasing Testosterone to build strong dad muscle.
Saturday: Workout A
The Barbell Squat, 5 sets of 5 reps
Flat Dumbbell Bench Press, 3 sets of 8 reps
Bent Over Barbell Row, 3 sets of 8 reps
Close Grip Bench Press, 3 sets of 6 reps
Front Abdominal Plank, Hold for 30-60 secs
High Intensity Interval Cardio:
Use a treadmill and perform intervals for 6 rounds of 30 secs sprint, 60 secs walk

Chin-Ups, 3 sets of 8 reps
Standing Barbell Shoulder Press, 3 sets of 8 reps
Standing Barbell Bicep Curl, 3 sets of 6 reps
Standing Calf Raise, 3 sets of 10 reps
High Intensity Interval Cardio:

*The Mid Week Bodyweight Booster Workout
Yeah I know this is supposed to be a TWO DAY a week workout plan. You CAN make progress on this plan if you only have 2 hours a week to dedicate to some serious lifting.
BUT, if you can find another 15 minutes sometime during the week, do this Mid Week Metabolism Booster Workout with just your own bodyweight to boost that metabolism and get the blood flowing to your recovering muscles that you trashed on the weekend. I would recommend you do this short workout on Wednesday preferably to allow for maximim recovery from your weekend workouts. This bodyweight workout can be done anytime anywhere so it’s hard to find a reason to not squeeze in this little workout that can make a big difference in burning off that gut and buidling some strong lean muscle despite your busy schedule.
Prisoner Squats
T-Pushups
Lunges
Cross Body Mountain Climbers
Burpees
Do 10 reps of each exercise without rest. Then rest for 1 minute and repeat the circuit 3 times.
