Zach,

Its nice to see other people in this world who want to make there children not the couch potatoes that so many parents have made their children become.Its very sad, and I get extremely upset when I see children overweight with their overweight parents.

My daughter is 15 months old, and she already runs around with me at the park when Im training. Today she blew me away, when she started dragging my 14 lb sledgehammer around that I use to beat the hell out of Mr. Michelin!

My goal is to instill the same things in my daughter, that you are with your son.

Just want to say good on you, and keep spreading that positivity to your kids and the world!

being a dad is the greatest thing that had happened to me.
There are some hard times but so much fun. Some dads here had 3 babies in one time… Waouh!!

In Japan we use the word “oya baka” which means “my kids are always the best”. (^.^)

I just don’t know what’s going to happen if my son says “I want to train in a commercial gym”…

Zach, thanks always fo sharing.

Rich

congrats on the triplets, AWESOME!

Yes, it’s crazy, but hang tough and represent brother

if you have a kettlebell and bodyweight you’re golden!

even if you can only do the ‘grease the groove’ method – hit a few presses and pull ups scattered through the day

you will likely be crazy for the next 3 yrs, so, you will eat for survival to say the least – don’t lay low on top foods like veggies and fruits – keep it healthy

time flies fast so be grateful and keep crushing it bruddah!

I really enjoyed reading your post. I have recently become the father of triplet daughters and life has changed completely. While I love the little ones, it’s pretty tough at times. One of the things that’s keeping me sane during this period is getting out into the garden with some kettlebells, the TRX or just doing some bodyweight stuff. I find you and your site inspirational. Keep it up!

Zach, you continue to be a shining example of how things should be done. I myself just spent an hour running around with my 2 1/2 year old daughter. Fitness has already become part of her life. I custom made her a 5 lb sand bag so she can train with daddy (I’ll have to email that video to you sometime) when she hangs out at my studio.

Keep up the good work. I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to take your certification.

i grow up with he-man(i have the power),A-team(i petty the fool)G.I.joe,the hulk and the cartoon,and we let our kids watch he man and they love it.and there is a good moral to the stories.not like today.and to day when the wife and i were working out the kids were working out too.we use them for weights for squats just so they can part of the work out. so have good work outs and keep the family involed.
