Slow and Steady Gains: How Fit Father Da...

Fit Father Project
About this episode

Episode 124 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is all about slow and steady gains and how small changes can lead to significant results.

In this episode, you’ll meet Fit Father David, a man who has been able to turn around his health history and drastically improve his life. 

David’s father and grandfather both died in their 40s of heart disease, and David himself suffered a heart attack in his 40s.


Thankfully, he didn't have major complications from it, but it was certainly a wake-up call.


David has a wife and two daughters, and he wanted to be around for them, so he started looking for a sustainable health and fitness plan. 


He found the Fit Father Project, and fast forward a couple of years later, and he’s down in weight and body fat, off his CPAP machine, and seeing so many emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits. 


David shares his story of how he made slow and steady gains and subtle mindset changes that were the keys to his success.


It’s not just about losing weight and sustaining it; it’s about looking at your whole life holistically and bringing it all together. 


You can turn your health around and set yourself up for an amazing future!


In this episode, you’ll learn: 


  • How to make your own slow and steady gains.
  • How to get into fitness, even if you’ve never been very active.
  • The interconnectivity of all aspects of health, fitness, and wellness.
  • How to make your nutrition work for you.
  • The keys to staying focused and motivated.
  • And so much more!


So, if you want to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this episode on slow and steady gains, take some notes, and check out FF30X!
