BALANCING FATHERHOOD AND FITNESS has never been easy. You’ve got less time, less sleep, and less mental bandwidth. Most workouts just aren’t made for the daily grind dads face. But this isn’t most workouts.
This is the program that’s kept one of the fitness world’s most shredded trainers ripped while raising three kids. Meet Dad Bod Shred, your new go-to video workout program built just for busy dads by Cory Gregory.
Gregory is in the best shape of his life, and he’s done it after he turned 40 and had kids. And he’s gotten here by overcoming his own daddyhood challenges. Like plenty of dads, Gregory’s beaten injuries, battling back from a torn rotator cuff to bench press more than 300 pounds. He’s also learned to maximize his gym time, developing a system of muscle-building sessions that can have him in and out of the gym in less than 45 minutes.
