Craig Cahn

The real Craig Cahn. Dad of three, business entrepreneur, and fitness enthusiast. Did I mention BROffessional? Juggling work, family, and fitness is a tough gig, but somebody's gotta do it!

How have you been staying active during quarantine? I’m curious to know!

[thefitnessdaddy]

How are the kids feeling.

Quarantine’s been rough for everyone, but I’ll let them tell you themselves!

Briar: I’m great, thanks for asking! I’ve started some new hobbies and my dad’s been pretty creative with meals recently. He made a quinoa salad the other day and it was pretty good.

Hazel: bruh I’m tired of spending all this quality time with my family -_-  @ briar quinoa is meh

What would happen if you were dating someone who was jealous of you spending time with your kids

That’s a dealbreaker, sorry. My kids mean the world to me, and if my partner isn’t mature enough to understand their value, I don’t need them in my life.

When you get sick, do you keep exercising or do you take a sick day off to get better?

Depends on how sick I am, but usually I'll take it easy. Health and safety comes first, and if you're not at 100%, there's a higher chance of injury and bad form. Great question, dude.

Hey Craig, you hot

Gosh, thanks! I bet you are too, bro.

[thefitnessdaddy]

Hey dudes,

Sorry for the VERY long hiatus, but I'm back! Honestly, my work, the kids, and the daily hustle got me forgetting all about tumblr! Haha! Anyways, here's how I'll make it up to you guys: send me some asks and I'll reply ASAP! Maybe even drop me a private message and we can have a chat!

Have a stellar day, bro. Emojis!

How far do you run every day?

About 5k on average. It varies based on what other workouts I'll be doing that day/what I want to accomplish.

Fitness culture is following exercise and health-related tags on Tumblr, but seeing spontaneous half-naked bods on your dash at the worst times.

ME: *On Tumblr, scrolling through my dash before answering questions*

TWINS: *enter room* HEY DAD, WE’RE HUNGRY-

ME: *Turns around*

Does mun have any irl crush?

DADmin: A question for me? (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖) #1 crush is my bro, Craig. IRL crush? Not too sure. When I see someone I’m interested in, I’d ask them for their insta and be friends, but I wouldn’t go further than that. I generally “like-like” someone after I’ve gotten to know them for a while. 

[thefitnessdaddy]

I dont know about you but 👀👀dem abs

What, these old things? Thanks for the compliment, bro.

I’m sorry, I had to. I’ll go do a painful ab workout now.

I'm trying to get back into exercising after being away from it for so long; its hard for me to stick to a schedule. Any tips? Also say hi to River for me :)

Hey, dude! Great question. 

I’d say ease into it - you don’t want to overexert yourself too quickly and risk injury (i.e. lifting double your bodyweight after 3 weeks of no strength training). Test the waters with some lighter weights and set yourself some small goals if you have trouble committing. This would be like doing 30 mins of moderate exercise every day or so until you build up a habit. Then, you can move on to longer workout sessions or higher intensities. And it doesn’t have to be a solid, “Okay, I’m working out at 4:37 am every day,” but more like “Ah, I have thirty minutes before I have to head out, maybe I can get a quick bodyweight workout / run in!” Hopefully this can get you back into exercise, and if not, remind yourself of your goals and why you started exercising in the first place! 

Oh, and River gurgled back! :)

Which dad do you have the biggest crush on (to both Craig and dadmin ;)

Craig: Dadsona, maybe. 

Dadmin: C R A I G

[thefitnessdaddy]

your opinions on all the dads in the neighborhood?

That’s an awesome question, dude! Here are my thoughts:

Brian:

He’s good competition for literally anything. Sports, boasting, you name it. Plus, it’s never boring NOR quiet when he’s around! We’ve also gone on father-daughter fishing trips, perfect for our mutual passion for the outdoors. 

Damien:

Honestly, I thought he’d be a super edgy goth like the people I’d seen in college, but I was wrong; Damien’s a real team player and is always willing to help out when someone’s in need. Plus, I totally respect him for the stuff he does at the animal shelter!

Hugo:

Hugo always keeps it real and maintains a cool head. He’s great to go to for advice on general adulting and is super thoughtful about everything he does. Oh, and he’s given me tons of pointers on strength building from his wrestling days! Coolest thing ever. 

Joseph:

Joseph and I frequently share recipes and meal plans! He’s given me a ton of ideas for healthy, not to mention delicious, snacks. Great for my kids after softball practice! Also, we both relate to each other, having more than two kids! Haha!

Mat:

He’s got an awesome taste in music, and I always go to his shop when I need a cup of coffee. Mat’s also super friendly, chill, and we always hit off good conversation. AND we make a m a z i n g dad jokes, regardless of what our kids say!

Robert:

Hands down, spookiest dude I’d ever met. The man's an enigma, especially in poker. But nonetheless, we found a mutual interest in the History Channel and sometimes go out and drink with the dad gang (Kegstand Craig lives on!) … and his theories about cryptids are fascinating, to say the least!

BONUS!

Dadsona:

He was one of my closest friends during college and we created a ton of amazing memories together. He was always cheering for me during the good times, but also supported me during my lows. I appreciate everything he’s done for me. Not to be cheesy, but I’m glad he moved to Maple Bay and let us reconnect.

Hey bron can you lift me? for... science?

I mean... if it's for science, I'd gladly do so. EMOJIS *Flexes and lifts up the anon*

[thefitnessdaddy]

seeing your posts always makes me smile, Craig!! thank you for inspiring us with your positive attitude!

Aw, shucks, bro... It's great to hear that I'm making you smile! You guys always make my day with your thoughtful messages and funny replies, EMOJI!

[thefitnessdaddy]

Have you ever done what's called a "Polar Plunge"? I heard it's for charity sometimes, so I was just wondering if you did anything like that :D

Not yet, but I've run in marathons for charity!
