In this episode of Leave No Doubt Fatherhood, we break down five critical fitness benchmarks that every father should be able to achieve. Why It Matters: Beyond looking good, these milestones directly impact your ability to play with your kids, protect your family in emergencies, age gracefully, and maintain quality of life as a father. We share personal stories about having to sprint after runaway dogs, carry kids to catch trains, and handle unexpected situations that required real physical capability. Key Takeaways: These aren't about becoming an elite athlete - they're beginner-level benchmarks Most men can't do these when starting out, and that's normal Each milestone can be scaled up or down based on your current fitness level Consistency beats intensity - 15 minutes, 3 times per week from home can get you there Your physical fitness directly affects your mood, energy, and patience as a dad We include practical progression tips for each milestone and emphasize that this isn't about discipline or looking jacked - it's about being the reliable, capable father your family deserves in any situation.
