To say that I can't believe the results is an understatement.

Being the father of 2 girls and being in fitdad was definitely not easy at times.

As I work in construction I was up at 4:30 am sit-ups then get home kids, train and cook for next day. That would all finish about 9 pm… big days!

Saying that, I never missed a burpee, a sit-up or a hill sprint in the 8 weeks. I was surprised at how much I learnt about myself during the Fitdad programme.

To smash out a training session at the end of the day when you’re already exhausted time and time again was no mean feat.

I have never been fitter. I'm smashing my PB's in all my time trial runs 5 and 10k each run and will be doing a 1/2 marathon soon.

Although the I earned this through determination and bloody hard work, I thank you for giving me the tools and the inspiration to do it.

My wife is currently on Fit mum and we are both enjoying our new healthy lifestyle.

There is nothing more important than creating a healthy environment for us and the kids now. Even my 3 year old talks about exercise now.

Today is my dads birthday so I think after 8 weeks I have earned a beer or 2. After that I'm taking a week or so winding it back a bit with some light training.

I have signed up for Iron dad so I'll start getting my head around that! Once again thank you and keep doing what your doing and let's hope more dads get inspired.
