Putting to bed the excuse “I don’t have time.”

Many of us struggle with time. We’re busy. We get tied up with work; our children seemingly demand our constant attention (which can be an amazing thing!); or, in some cases, we’re both a dual career-driven, child-caring father/mother. The #dowork Parent is an exercise program designed for those of us who lack time and need to squeeze in a workout.

Through structured training consisting of weight-bearing, body-weight, and running-based exercises, the program challenges the whole body. The book anticipates that you will work out 4 days a week, perform an optional steady-state run 1 day a week, and rest at least 2 days each week. Each workout is roughly 30 minutes in length. And you will proceed through The #dowork Parent day by day, just as you would a daily calendar. What you’ll need: Dumbbells, a Jump Rope, and a Pull-ups Bar.
