On Episode 12 of the Slimming Down Dad Podcast I talked a little bit about my wife and I going to visit CustomFit Training – a new Fitness Studio in Gilbertsville.

The event was a Community Field Day at Hickory Park and was being hosted by the local wellness council. It …

This week on the Slimming Down Dad Podcast I had a last minute change of plans. The interview that I hoped to conduct had to be pushed and I decided to replace it with a barrage of topics ranging from Personal Training to Fitness Classes for my Wife to Dealing with Injury.

The luster is mostly gone but on the rare occasion, when a letter or card shows up, the magic returns and correspondence seems fun again.

Last week I had my very first session with a Personal Trainer. It was an eye-opening experience that showed just how effective simple exercises can be when done correctly. This week I met with my personal trainer for a second time. This time we worked on building strength in my chest to increase my bench press numbers. In addition to discussing my training session, I also touched one some truly terrible Isolate Protein Powder I picked up at Walmart. I …
