Now, with his newfound knowledge of nutrition, he’s able to prepare delicious healthy foods for his big family at cookouts and weekend gatherings. You can INTEGRATE FOOD, FAMILY, & FUN into your health journey.
- DRAW INSPIRATION from the men who came before you. When Jesse joined the program, he drew inspiration from the other successful Fit Fathers in the program. He modeled their habits. He took their advice seriously, and now Jesse is in their shoes… massively successful and inspiring thousands of men.
- The best workouts for men 40+ are METABOLIC RESISTANCE TRAINING (MRT) workouts that we teach you inside the FF30X Program. These workouts combine strength, cardio, and flexibility all into one workout you can do in under 45minutes. Jesse does these workouts in his garage with a pair of dumbbells. Years later on the program, he’s still doing them and getting stronger & better.

- TAKE THE FIRST STEP. By taking the first step, you activate powerful forces of FAITH and ACTION (…and in Mark’s case God’s blessing) that will help you improve and move forward.
- Even if you have CHRONIC ISSUES like BACK PAIN that Mark suffered with for 20 years, you can still make massive improvements! In fact, by strengthening his core and losing weight using the FF30X Program, Mark no longer experiences back pain. Zero, gone! And he has 6-pack abs at basically 60 years old.
- LEAN INTO FELLOWSHIP in this FFP Community & Brotherhood. When Mark joined the Program, he got into our private Facebook Page for members and began to read stories, gather tips, and connect with likeminded guys. The inspiration Mark drew from these men helped him succeed massively.
- 60 CAN BE THE NEW 40. Mark is now in better shape at basically 60 years old than he was 20 years ago. With the proven methods, you can get better with age!

- If you’re a really heavy guy, start with GOOD NUTRITION and DAILY WALKING. You don’t need intense workouts off the bat to lose weight. As you start to feel better and more energetic from the good nutrition, you can begin to do formal workouts to speed up the process.
- You can ASTONISH YOURSELF at what you can accomplish within 1 year. Start with small goals like completing the FF30X Phase #1 Program, and as you

TONY SHIVERS
Centreville, VA

- Job:Associate Marketing Director (non-profit)
- Starting goal:Get out of 300lb range into 200lb range to get healthy to take care of his wife & daughter

- Don’t be limited by a small mindset. Telling yourself “I can’t lose the weight… or I’m not the type of guy who is fit” is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just start taking ACTION and you will see RESULTS that will slowly and surely shift your MINDSET.
- Follow a STRUCTURED Meal #1 (Breakfast) and Meal #2 (Lunch) that’s using the Fit Father Meal Plan. Then you can have dinner with the family and whatever they are cooking. As long as you nail the beginning part of the day, you will continue generating MOMENTUM.
- You can LIFT WEIGHT and lose weight. You DO NOT need to do hours of cardio. Tony is the type of guy who loves lifting and he used the FFP “Metabolic Resistance Training” style workouts 2-3x per week to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously.
- RUN YOUR OWN RACE. This is YOU vs YOU. This is about becoming the best version of yourself.
- Understand that your RATE OF WEIGHT LOSS changes over time and that’s OK! At first, you lose fast for the first few months, which can be up to 30+lbs. Overtime, weight loss rates become more gradual and that’s perfect.
- A HEALTHY BODY leads to a HEALTHY, POSITIVE MINDSET. Both are completely connected. This path of getting healthier will lead you to more fulfillment at home and work.

THOMAS MESSER
Alma, Michigan
- Age:50
- Family:Married for 25 years; 4 great kids + 3 grandkids
- Job:Lutheran Pastor
- Starting goal:Get heathy after scary news at doctor’s office showing early signs of heart failure.
- Results to date:Dropped 90lbs; now has great cardiovascular health & fitness
Listen to Thomas' story for major inspiration and exact steps of how he transformed:

- DON’T WAIT FOR A WAKE-UP CALL or emergency health situation. Thomas is lucky he didn’t die from heart failure in the ER. That motivated him to make his fitness a priority… but it doesn’t have to come down to such a “close call” to refocus on yourself and your health.
- NUTRITION is 80% of the battle. If you are concerned about your heart health or are in pretty bad shape right now, simply eating healthier on a SUSTAINABLE meal plan will help you improve without overly exerting yourself.
- How we TREAT OUR BODIES reflects on us as LEADERS. For Thomas, getting his weight down 90lbs has led to him feeling so much more aligned spiritually, mentally, and physically. He now shows up LOOKING & FEELING like his BEST SELF.
- Pay attention to NON-SCALE VICTORIES (NSVs) along the way of your journey. These come in so many forms: affirming comments from friends/family, new ability to do things without being winded, new levels of energy, clothes fitting better, and feeling of inner peace and satisfaction that you’re walking a healthier path.

RUSSELL BATTLES
Waco, TX
- Age:51
- Family:Divorced with 2 great kids
- Job:Senior Director of Operations
- Starting goal:Quit booze; lose his gut & build muscle
- Results to date:Dropped 35lbs. Now completely OFF all blood pressure medicine & off his CPAP machine.
Listen to Russell's story for major inspiration and exact steps of how he transformed:
Play Video
- If you travel a lot for work with Russell, you need to have a STRATEGY for making healthy eating work on the go. Russell bought a blender that he brings to hotel rooms so he can make his consistent healthy FFP Morning Shakes to give him good nutrition. He also buys healthy snacks (protein bars, jerkies, fruit, nuts, etc.) ahead of time, so he always has a stockpile of good nutrition.
- You can get VERY STRONG (300+lb bench press in Russell’s case) in your 50s as long as you TRAIN SMART and follow a proven exercise program for guys in their 40s, 50s, & 60s. This often means form tweaks to key muscle building movements for optimizing joint health and getting plenty of rest & recovery.
- Getting healthy & strong at 51 has inspired Russell’s son and daughter to take their fitness more seriously. This Fit Father program is about becoming a better version of YOU and inspiring your closest family and friends along the way.

- Starting goal:Make health a priority in his life. Get healthy for his son Sean.
- Results to date:Dropped over 80lbs; from 40% bodyfat to 16%. Completely new outlook on his health & life.
Listen to Werner's story for major inspiration and exact steps of how he transformed:
Play Video
- It’s really easy to become successful in one area of life (career in Werner’s case) while completely neglecting your health. That eventually catches up to you mid-life and can be a major wake up call.
- WALK MORE! If you have some back pain/issues like Werner, walk as much as you can. Werner was able to lose over 80lbs – going months without doing any exercise besides walking paired with good nutrition.
- Be AWARE of your common traps & pitfalls. For Werner, he had a bad habit of snacking on sweets, so he used the FFP Program to design a nutrition system to feel full, energized, and satisfied and break the habit of eating sweets midday & in the evening when stressed.
- Measure your progress with DEXA body fat scans and pictures, because it’s so motivating to see your journey and have MANY different metrics of success.

- Mike started out feeling SO UNHAPPY with where he was in life. Although he has a great family and career, his health & energy was terrible. Mike used his unhappiness as MOTIVATION to join the FFP and start something structured that he could follow to align himself completely – body, mind, & spirit.
- Get your spouse/partner on board with your new, healthy lifestyle. It makes it so much easier to cook healthy meals together.
- As Mike got healthier, he became a ROLE MODEL for his kids who now model his healthy behaviors and are seeing improvements in their athletic performance and happiness too.
- Lean into the support & friendship of the fellow FFP Brothers doing this program alongside you. It’s incredibly motivating to be in a like-minded group of guys 40+.

- For big guys with 100+lbs to lose, it all starts with MINDSET. You must ask yourself, “How did I get this overweight? What habits, thoughts, and behaviors have I allowed to continue in my life that brought me here?”
- Then you must get CLEAR ON YOUR WHY POWER and your deep motivations for why you want to make this change.
- It takes TIME & PRACTICE to break sugar addiction and food cravings. The #1 key is to start the Fit Father Meal Plan that’s consistent, STRUCTUED, simple, and filling. After a few weeks of following the eating plan, the cravings naturally begin to diminish and new healthier habits are taking their place.
- Exercise is HARD AT FIRST when you’re really big. It’s OK to start with simple stuff like 20-min of manageable exercise. The key is that you continue to BUILD and GET A LITTLE BETTER every day.

- The first step to change is GETTING OUT OF DENIAL about where you’re currently at with your health to BECOME HONEST WITH YOURSELF by looking at how your current bad habits and behaviors are negatively affecting all important areas of your life… your body, mind, spirit, and your family.
- Nutrition is the key to success! To be consistent, Nick starts each day with the SAME BREAKFAST and LUNCH each day. Nick uses. The delicious FFP Morning Shake recipe for breakfast with our SUPER FUEL protein, then Nick has a low-carb protein wrap or healthy sandwich recipe for lunch and a “perfect plate” for dinner as outlined in the Fit Father Meal Plan.
- By doing the FF30X workouts, Nick became mentally tougher and now feels more equipped to tackle challenges and be more productive in all key areas of his life. He also built a ton of new muscle while losing fat because of the science-based aspects of the FF30X workout.

- Before the FFP, “getting older” was NOT FUN for Andre. Now that he’s used this program to create life-changing new level of health and fitness, he looks FORWARD to a bright future of possibilities. Yes, our bodies age… but with proper inputs we can actually continue to IMPROVE with age.
- Even if you’re in “decent shape,” there is SO MUCH MORE ENERGY you can experience by taking your consistency with nutrition and exercise to the next level.
- A 20-25minute morning routine of body flow stretches, foam rolling, prayer, meditation, and black coffee is key for setting Andre up for success.
- DAILY MOVEMENT IS KEY to sustainable fitness. Andre aims for 10,000+ steps each day and gets around 4 formal workouts in each week (a mix of weights, HIIT cardio, and outdoor sports/fun).

- The process of getting healthy must be viewed from a SYSTEMS perspective. Everything is connected to your health. And as you change your habits and behaviors, all your key relationships and habits must recalibrate too.
- It’s just as important to focus on your INNER EXPERIENCE (your feelings and relationship to this new path) as it is to perform EXTERNAL ACTIONS (like eating healthier and exercising). The most successful guys using this program make this an INTEGRATED TRANSFORMATION.
- When starting out, approach the Fit Father Program as IMMERSIVE LEARNING. Really take your time to read through the meal plan and review the materials. Once you gain the key knowledge, you have POWER that you can apply into your life.
- The FFP Brotherhood & Support team is essential to success. We don’t have to do this alone.
