From Dad Bod to Rad Bod - An Insightful Session with Day One Caringbah

Join us in a refreshing and engaging chat with the head owner of Day One Caringbah, Matt, as we dive into the world of fatherhood and fit family living. With baby number three having arrived just two weeks ago, Matt offers an authentic and relatable perspective, especially to new parents who strive to maintain a balanced routine amidst their chaotic lifestyle. He draws upon his own experience to suggest effective ways of incorporating exercise and wellness into everyday routines.

As a newfound father himself, Matt acknowledges that it’s not always feasible to follow the same workout schedules as before. Thus, he emphasizes the importance of creating a flexible routine with open lines of communication and realistic expectations. Conversing about the struggle to make time for oneself post-parenthood, he provides practical tips, including how to avoid the common back injury caused by lifting newly grown babies, and shares beneficial home workouts for those who can't make it to the gym.

Switching to a lighter conversation, Matt shares his favorite (and spontaneous) dad jokes, tweaks the term ‘dad-vice’ to share profound life advice for new fathers, and discusses the joys and challenges of fatherhood. Cementing the importance of mental wellness, he discusses the connection between movement and mood, thereby positioning exercise as a cornerstone of treatment for depression.

As the conversation shifts to the gym and its services, listeners find out about the unique offerings at Day One Caring Bar including Mums and Bubs Classes and Sports Remedial Massage. Committed to making fitness affordable and accessible for all parents and their children, the gym boasts a nurturing family environment like no other. Finally, Matt shares the easiest way to connect with and find out more about the gym, before inviting listeners to share their best dad-healthy tips.

This stimulating discussion is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration as a new parent, especially fathers looking to keep up with their health while juggling the joys and responsibilities of parenthood.
