The Busy Dads Essential Fat Burning Tool Kit
Through my own experiences with training and
helping Dads get in shape
Great results are not directly correlated with
how often you get to the gym
But how consistent you are with the basics
One of those basics IS working out
But for a busy Dad?
Stuff often comes up with family or
work
Or both
And the gym needs to dip out
This often happens with guys on my Dadformation
program too
And although the progressive strength work we
use IS a game changer in the results we produce
Shorter, simple and effective workouts at home serve
as a great back up when stuff comes up
And they serve as an even better way of complimenting
your main strength program
By TURBOCHARGING your fat loss results
(Even if it’s only a 10 minute workout)
Here’s a few ESSENTIAL pieces of kit every busy Dad
who’s committed to self improvement will benefit from..
#1: Jump Ropes
Skipping is great cardio that helps you burn fat
and level up your conditioning
The cool thing about these is you can always find
a place to do some skipping
Carry them anywhere (even on holiday)
Mix em up with some burpees
And you don’t need a lot of space nor time
So even on those days where motivation is low and
you really can’t be bothered working out and lifting heavy?
You could always convince yourself to some jump ropes
Even just for 10 minutes.
#2: Kettlebells
These things are a complete gym in the palm of
your hand
Make any 10 minute workout intense
And PROVEN to burn tonne of calories
You could even build a solid level of alround strength
with just these alone
The downfall?
The movements are pretty technical and take some time
to learn
Would be worth your while getting some coaching with
them first
A set of 12, 16 ,20 & 24kg for guys is perfect and
probably all you’ll need for a long time
#3: Resistance Bands
Another piece of kit you can pack snug into any bag
So you can always get some work in on the move
Or even just at home
Use them to make press ups harder
Do triceps push downs, extensions
Or train a lot of upper back muscles that are hard
to work without gym equipment
With face pulls and pull aparts
#4: Suspension Trainer/TRX
With this thing, your body weight is all you’ll ever
need to get lean and build a great body
And allows you to training those pulling movements
so that you’re not just banging out push ups all
the time
Which leads to muscle imbalance and shoulder injuries
Again, this something that packs away barely noticed
#5: My Fitness Pal
Of course, if fat loss is your main priority
None of this stuff matters at all if you’re
not getting your nutrition right
My Fitness Pal is FREE app that helps keep
you on the right side of the energy balance
So all that money spent on kit, gym memberships
and coaching
And all that time spent sweating it out
Isn’t a complete waste of time
You can download that to your phone right here:
If high quality kit is important to you?
It’s not difficult to find all of this online
from the top brands
But alternatvely?
You could probably get every bit of this for around
£100 from Decathlon:

The only thing for it after that?
Is YOU
Committing anything from 10-30 minutes a day
to bettering yourself
Have an awesome journey
