Dads Who Feel Guilty For Hitting The Gym...

Dad guilt... we all know when you go to the gym or try to put more time into taking care of yourself...

Sometimes you feel guilty

In your mind you know that you being the healthiest and most disciplined, energetic, strong role model version of yourself is better for your family

But emotionally...

There's that dad guilt

Family first

Yet you put yourself last

Only to give a 30% version of yourself to your family

The key is to choose a strategic time for the gym that doesn't conflict with family priorities

If your wife needs you most to help with the kids from 5 PM to 9 PM that's probably the worst time for you to go to the gym

If the only quality time you get with your kids is after 5 PM that's also another reason why evening time is not the most ideal time for most of us to hit the gym

This is part of why with our clients I've noticed that early morning around fajr is one of the most popular consistent time for most dads

Best part is the rest of your day is smooth and easy once you get your health dialed in

Instead of giving them the 30% version of you

You give them 100%

Working out for an hour is not even 5% of your day

Yet it helps you show up so much better

So you tell me

Is 100% or 30% or 95% of 100% better?

Invest 5% of your time into fitness and you'll show up at least 3x better to your family

I know it isn't easy and I know it takes Discipline

But being too tired to give them the high energy & strong male role model they deserve hurts even more than the pain of putting in the work and discipline

So suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret

I learnt that going to the masjid was this for me. Especially when my wife was struggling with the kids. I later realised (years later) that I shouldn't have compromised the going to the masjid
