BALANCING FATHERHOOD AND FITNESS has never been easy. You’ve got less time, less sleep, and less mental bandwidth. Most workouts just aren’t made for the daily grind dads face. Until now.
That’s because now you can follow the program that’s kept one of the fitness world’s most shredded trainers ripped while raising four kids. Meet Dad Bod Shred, your new go-to video workout program built just for busy dads by 46-year-old Cory Gregory.
Gregory is in the best shape of his life. And he’s gotten here by overcoming his own daddyhood challenges. Like plenty of dads, Gregory’s beaten injuries, battling back from a torn rotator cuff to bench press more than 300 pounds. He’s also learned to maximize his gym time, developing a system of muscle-building sessions that can have him in and out of the gym in less than 45 minutes.
He’s sharing those secrets with you in Dad Bod Shred, which includes five 30-minute muscle-building workouts, one quick cardio session, and countless hacks that can help busy dads everywhere get jacked in less than an hour a day.
The program is available exclusively to Men’s Health MVP Premium members, so if you’re not already a member, sign up NOW!
