Taking time for mental health, setting a
positive example and ways to be active with your kids are key tips
for Dads to live healthier, impactful lives
CHANHASSEN, Minn., June 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As Father's Day approaches, Life
Time (NYSE: LTH) is celebrating and sharing wisdom from Dads
who make their health and wellness a priority.
This year, we're highlighting tips from three of our top
personal trainers who are not only fitness professionals, but
dedicated fathers of babies to adults. From mental health to
setting a routine and healthy eating, these trainers have several
tips to help inspire positive change.
Tip 1: Consistency Trumps Perfection with
Workouts
Cliff Edberg,
Senior Director of MIORA Performance + Longevity at Life
Time
"Life changes each stage of your children's life and you need to
be nimble with your expectations," Edberg says. "Workouts might get
shortened or missed and that doesn't mean you fall off or throw
your hands up. It means doing your best each day to adapt and do
the best you can for yourself and for your family."
Edberg has been a personal trainer at Life Time since 2009 and
is now Senior Director of its new MIORA performance and
longevity program. He's a father of two, ages 3 ½ and 12 weeks, and
is currently focused on being consistent with his workouts versus
having them be perfect.
Tip 2: Remember to Ask for Help When You Need
It
David Freeman, Senior
Director of Alpha
"Giving yourself grace and asking for help truly unlocks your
true superpower which is being vulnerable," Freeman says. "You
cannot be optimal in what you are doing daily as a man if you are
spread thin."
Freeman is not only a busy father of two, ages 10 and 8, but has
coached thousands of people at Life Time through its Alpha
Signature Group Training programming. Freeman prioritizes
exercising 4-5 days a week and carves out time each day for
spiritual connection to stay centered and mentally equipped. His
biggest advice for men is a reminder that it's okay to ask for help
and prioritize your mental health.
Tip 3: Move Every Day and Remember You Can Set a
Positive Example for Your Kids
Bob Holper, Dynamic Personal Trainer
"Kids learn more from what they see from their parents, compared
to being told what to do," Holper says. "As a parent I feel you can
always have a balance in keeping your own health as a priority and
still being a good parent spending quality time with your
kids."
Holper has been a trainer with Life Time for nearly 30 years and
always wants to set a good example as a healthy father for his
three kids, ages 29, 27, and 24.
He emphasizes that dads should find time for themselves each day
to get movement in. Strength training should be a priority, but
taking a walk while focusing on eating clean natural foods can make
a tremendous difference. Also, Holper emphasizes to his clients who
are fathers that setting a good, healthy example for your kids can
set them up with healthy habits for life.
