SingleDaddy

Hello, fellow singledads and men striving for a healthier lifestyle! In my first blog and video, I'm excited to share simple yet effective ways to kickstart your fitness journey. Let’s dive in:This ist the first blog about men’s fitness. So I will write and make it step by step. If you alrteady have this first steps done, wait for the next blog or video. I will give ou just some ideas for you to start and follow your progress from video to video. There are many step for you to get where you wan, but if you start doing everything at once, you probably won’t get here. I don’t know where you are now, but if you absolutely don’t do anything you have to start slow and be resilient. That’s the secret.INTRODUCTION:

1. Don’t start your journey in the gym. Why not? Althoug going to the gym is a good thing, if you are not doing anything you probably will pay and never use it. It will be a time in your journey, where you can enjoy being in a gym and give that to yourself as a gift.

2. Talk to your wife and family about the changes you wanna do. Try to make them understand that you need to change to keep the energie throught the years to keep being a good Father/husband and stick with the energie of your kids. 3. We will still talk about diet, which is maybe more important than exercise (?), but write now, just keep in mind that talking with your family about that is also telling them to remember you to don’t eat all the time. So try just for now to observe what you it. Also a perfect deal ist write everything you it dow. You will see that you will get tired writing.HOW TO START

1. Start Your Day with Movement: -Start your day by stretching in bed. This gentle awakening of your muscles can be done while you’re still lying down.-Upon waking, begin your day with simple movements like lifting your blanket 10 times. This small action wakes up your muscles.


2. Incorporate Exercise into Routine Activities: -As you head to the bathroom, do for exemple, lunges. After brushing your teeth, follow up with 1 to 5 push-ups. It’s all about adding little fitness moments into your daily routine. Make yourself a short list about things like this you could do just to keep moving.


3. Stay Active While Cooking and Eating: -Prepare and eat your breakfast standing. This keeps you more active than sitting.

Facts about that:Calorie Burn: Standing burns more calories than sitting, aiding weight management.

Improved Posture: It engages core muscles, alleviating back and neck discomfort.

Enhanced Digestion: Gravity helps food move through the digestive system.

Blood Sugar Control: May stabilize blood sugar, vital for diabetes and weight management.

Reduced Sedentary Time: Combat our sedentary lifestyles with more standing and movement.


4. Workplace Fitness: 

-walk or ride your bike to your work, walking is just the best exercise to keep you fit and free your mind.-If you work from home, alternate between sitting and standing. Use a homemade standing desk setup to keep active. I’ll share a photo of my own setup for inspiration.


5. Incorporate Weights into Daily Chores: Add light weights to your wrists while doing household chores like washing dishes. This adds resistance and strengthens your muscles.


6. Weighted Vest for Added Challenge: -Use a weighted vest during home activities. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase. Remember, don’t start with too much weight!


7. Small Steps for Big Changes: -Begin with manageable activities, like a 10-minute bike ride. If you’re dealing with emotional challenges, walking is a great way to clear your mind. Always talk to a professional if you’re struggling with mental health issues.-Measuring your progress is a big thing. It’s not a musst, but getting a smart watch, where your can count your steps is an amazing thing. Give that also to yourself as a gift 2 months after you show yourself that you can stick to YOUR plan.


8. Seek Professional Advice: Consult a doctor or nutritionist for tailored advice, especially if you have specific health concerns.


9. Remember, Your wife, kids or friends aren’t Your Therapist: -While it’s important to communicate, don’t rely solely on your partner for emotional support. Seek professional help if needed. Doing that you will save the good things for your partner.


As we embark on this journey together, I'll share more tips and personal experiences to help you become the healthiest version of yourself. Stay tuned for more!
