A little while back I had a run in with personal issues. At the time I thought I could juggle both the podcast and what I had going on in my personal life. I was wrong and Slimming Down Dad was placed on the back burner while I handled more pressing business. Now that it [...] You're reading Slimming Down Dad Episode 14: Podcast Reboot by Walt White, originally posted on Walt in PA.

Just like last week, the perfect opportunity to record an episode of the Slimming Down Dad Short presented itself as I drove over to my daughter's soccer practice. The episode runs about 13 minutes and covers a handful of topics. From yesterday's gym session. Pretty soon I'm going to need to buy smaller workout shirts.

Yesterday I hopped in my car, immediately after a grueling gym session, and began my usual scramble to get things done. I raced home, grabbed a really quick bite to eat, hopped in the shower, whipped up a protein shake for the road, and headed back to the car. While driving over to my daughter's [...] You're reading Slimming Down Dad Short: Routine Tweaks by Walt White, originally posted on Walt in PA.

If you've been following along with the Slimming Down Podcast, you have probably noticed things slow down a bit recently.

This week on the Slimming Down Dad Short I decided to do something a little different. I'm always trying to come up with ways to reward those signed up for the Slimming Down Dad Newsletter. Initially it was an early release of the Slimming Down Dad Short but this week I pulled out my handy-dandy [...] You're reading Slimming Down Dad Short: Updates and Stuff by Walt White, originally posted on Walt in PA.

This week on the Slimming Down Dad Podcast I had a last minute change of plans. The interview that I hoped to conduct had to be pushed and I decided to replace it with a barrage of topics ranging from Personal Training to Fitness Classes for my Wife to Dealing with Injury.

Episode 11 of the Slimming Down Dad Podcast will go down in my memory as the episode that almost never was. I've been battling some personal issues over the past two weeks and for the first time ever, I just couldn't motivate myself to sit down and record an episode.

Last week I had my very first session with a Personal Trainer. It was an eye-opening experience that showed just how effective simple exercises can be when done correctly. This week I met with my personal trainer for a second time. This time we worked on building strength in my chest to increase my bench [...] You're reading Slimming Down Dad Short: Another Personal Training Session by Walt White, originally posted on Walt in PA.

I was listening to a podcast the other day on podcasting (I know, that sounds weird) but the host threw out a pretty interesting statistic. Something like the majority of new podcasts never make it past episode 7. I suppose there is a variety of factors involved. Low listener count, it becomes more work than [...] You're reading Slimming Down Dad Episode 10: An Interview with Lindsay Heller by Walt White, originally posted on Walt in PA.

Yesterday was the first of three meetings I have scheduled with a personal trainer at my local gym. In this episode of the Slimming Down Dad Short I discuss how that meeting went and what we'll be focusing on next week.
