David Wayne Fish on how parenthood affects physical activities for men

I, David Wayne Fish, live by the fact that a physically active lifestyle does not only foster physical well-being but also improve mental health. Now this is one good reason for me to always engage in various blood-pumping outdoor adventures. However, a lot of men don’t have the luxury of time to do this due to the valid force that pushes them to put aside physical fitness – parenthood.

Becoming a dad alters the male lifestyle; this affects the dad’s involvement in physical activities or exercise. Parenthood has been associated with the decrease in these activities and the increase in health risks like hypertension, obesity, and heart diseases. The reason: dads like your very own David Wayne Fish would rather have family fun than personal moments to make-up for missed time with kids due to work commitments. If fathers don’t view an activity as appealing, they don’t do it for the benefit of the children.

Here is a David Wayne Fish list of activities that is both gainful for dads and fun for kids. This includes activities that keep the balance between the demands of fitness and your obligation to your kids:
• Go swimming.
• Play Frisbee.
• Do mountain biking.
• Learn and play your child’s sport – soccer, baseball, football, or basketball.
• Make time for wall or mountain climbing.
• Engage in mountain boarding or surf boarding.
To end, these fun activities can bring restorative effects on health and strengthen family bonding.
