I decided this year to commit the rest of my life to being one of those guys who goes to the gym 6 days a week. I just turned 39, and it has become very obvious that healthy eating isn’t enough to prevent my destiny of having a dad bod.

This is me just starting my weight training journey. But if I figured it would be relevant and hopefully helpful to others if I share what I am learning along the way.

I understand that by gaining muscle mass, I will also be able to burn more fat as my metabolism has to work harder to maintain regulating more muscle.

Therefore, the post work out recovery shake I have been using for months now is Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. It has 60 grams of protein and only 15 grams of carbs.

To find the best deal on Amazon, click this link.

Also, check out my video below, which shows what all I mix in with my smoothie each morning after my work out:

I am also experimenting with tart cherry juice as a recovery supplement too. Here’s a link to Amazon for that as well.

One more thing I want to share is how much I love my new work out shorts. They are 90 Degree by Reflex athletic fit gym shorts with drawstring and zippered pockets for men.

Here is the link to buy them on Amazon.

And I also did a video review on them as well:

I look forward to reviewing more work out products in the near future, as I work my way further away from having a dad bod.
