About this episode

Jesse and Ben Barker discuss practical fitness advice for busy parents, including nutrition for kids and effective training strategies.

Jesse and Ben Barker are back for an Ask Us Anything together, tackling listener questions on how much time busy parents really need to train (the realistic minimum), how to talk about nutrition with your kids without giving them food complexes, what's actually in their supplement stacks (no sponsored answers), how much weekly time it takes to check every fitness box (strength, muscle, cardio, mobility), whether you really need to squat-bench-deadlift to get strong, how to know if you're training for the wrong thing in a Hyrox-and-CrossFit world, what really works to drop the last five pounds, and how to navigate a spouse who thinks your training is excessive.
