The Dad Workout

Ok, quick for you dad's who wanna workout but don't wanna spend money on joining a gym or buying weights:

1. Have a child lay on his back on the floor. Standing with feet shoulder width apart, straddling the feet of the child, bend at the knees and grab the kid's ankles. Slowly stand up and pull the child up in front of you as high as you can. There's your deadlift and front deltoid raise all in one.

2. Sling a kid over your shoulders (kata guruma/fireman's carry style). Squat till it burns.

3. Line up the kids and carry them up the stairs, over and over until you sweat.

If you want, you can also military press your kids, and have a kid hop on your back during pushups.

When you become strong enough that your kids become to easy to lift, move on to your wife.

There you go, the Dad Workout.
