Try this FAST and EFFECTIVE 18 Min Dad Bod Workout
All you need is some free weights.
Pick a weight that you will be able to rep out for ONE MINUTE… but that still challenges you.
Try this 18 MIN DAD BOD WORKOUT – 30 secs each
Dumbbell Squat Presses
Squat Jumps
Dumbbell Rows
Push-Ups
Dumbbell Curl Holds
Close Grip Push-Ups
Dumbbell Reverse Lunges
Jump Lunges
Toe Touches
Russian Twists
Rest for 1 min and then repeat this 2 more times!
You. Are. Done… (sort of)
This workout is intense. Make sure you take at least 5 min to lower your heart rate with a low incline walk.
If you have extra time, this would be a great opportunity to get in a little extra fat burn with some steady-state cardio. Kick up the incline to about 10 .. speed about 3.5 to 4.0 and finish things off with a 15 to 30-minute incline walk!
DAD BOD may be a funny name but the real reason behind this body shape is NOT a laughing matter!!
The defining feature of a “dad bod” is a midsection with a little extra cushion.
You may be totally fine with having a bit of a spare tire, but that big belly is most likely a type of fat that can be very dangerous to your health.
It’s something called VISCERAL FAT.
This type of body fat is stored within the abdominal cavity, which means it accumulates around several vital internal organs.
Storing higher amounts of visceral fat can increase your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
Laugh about the “name” all you want … but take getting rid of it seriously!
If you are ready to get rid of your “dad bod” for good, it is best to incorporate a full training and nutrition plan that caters to your “official” body type.
