Fitness Is a Family Habit | Getting in Shape After 40 as a Busy Dad

from The Nick Burns Show · host PetroFit

Can you actually get in shape after 40 with four kids and a packed schedule? In this solo episode of The Nick Burns Show, Coach Nick breaks down why fitness has to become a family habit, not a solo project.Nick shares how he went from 270 pounds and an Oreos-and-milk habit to a household where his kids look up and ask, "Dad, where's the protein?" He covers meal prep for the whole family, why he stopped doing cardio in favor of steps (NEAT vs EAT), how to train in 30 to 45 minutes by doing less and recovering more, and the real family cost of working in the energy industry. Plus the myth that you are too far gone: metabolism and testosterone drop only about 0.01 percent a year after 30, so age is rarely the problem. Your habits are.If you are a busy dad, executive, or energy industry leader who keeps restarting your health journey, this episode is your nudge to build the systems that actually last.Ready to build your systems?
