of soreness, most people allow it to spread like a disease without taking any measures.  Missing a few days becomes missing a few weeks and the vicious cycle will begin again once they go back to the workout.  I can understand why some do not want to make this type of workout a lifestyle.  I can assure you, your children will not let you skip this much.  They will help you stay on track.

 

Is it safe? 

You know yourself and your capabilities.  Although you do not have to be in great shape to begin DADsercise, you need to be honest with yourself and your ability. You also know your kids.  Do not do anything that either you or your kids do not feel comfortable doing.  Determine sensibly how often and how long.  Some basic guidelines should be followed:

 

  • “No pain, No gain” is a myth (exercise should require effort, but not undue discomfort.)
  • Watch your form and technique 
  • Warm up and cool down 
  • Use common sense, remember, this is supposed to be fun.
    • Don’t exercise too aggressively 
    • Don’t go against doctor’s orders.  If you are new to exercise, consult your doctor to formulate a plan together.
    • Don’t endanger your child during any of the exercises (throwing them in the air)
    • Perform DADsercise in an appropriate environment, preferably a soft padded floor.  An exercise mat would be a great surface.
