This program is designed for the daily dad. This isn't elite fitness. However, this IS general physical preparedness, mixed with some body-building-feel-good workouts. We aren't maxing out lifts, and we aren't training for The CrossFit Games, but we are looking to stay in shape and look great while we're at it. This is a 4-6 day per week program. Workouts last anywhere from 20-60 min. There is progression, and it does change every 5-6 weeks. This is the program that I currently do every single day. You will be following along side myself as well as the other dads that are driving this program with me. Most* of the workouts can be done at a regular CrossFit Gym, or a regular commercial gym. If you have some dumbbells/barbell and a little bit of space, you can do most of this stuff at home as well. Check the equipment recommendations if you're not sure what you need! There are substitutions for exercises in case you don't have the appropriate equipment handy.
