6th Annual “Fit Fathers Day” Celebration: Each One Teach One

Hype for the event was built from engaging social media campaigns and coverage from our media partners at Radio One, Fox 5 DC, News Channel 8, WUSA 9 and a host of media outlets. Additionally, with $2,500 in prizes at stake for our fitness challenges, over 500 attendees came to the celebration ready for action which resulted in an eventful morning.

2019 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition: Perfect for Fit Fathers

June 9, 2019 by Fit Fathers

It’s the week of “Fit Fathers Day” so we enjoyed rocking with the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition for promotions, utility needs and 7-passenger transport. Of course, for the boys only drive I found the path to Peirce Mill in Washington, DC’s glorious Rock Creek Park where we engaged in sports activities and enjoyed a hike on the trails.

This testosterone driven Pathfinder incorporates a hearty mix of brawn and functionality. From the black door handles and black mesh grill to the smoky dark alloy rims balanced within 18” all-season tires, the Japanese SUV will hit the mark for dads in need of space and functionality.

Ignite 4WD when it’s time to ride over and through, while the zippy 284-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 will transport your squad with efficiency. Since I travel with three teens, a toddler and my wife, EZ FLEX featuring LATCH AND GLIDE technology was a plus as the seats fold simply and literally slide forward for stress free entry into the third row.
The 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SV 4WD Rock Creek Edition will add only $995 to the base price of $35,960. It’s certainly worth it to be able to stand out just enough in a field of SUV clutter in today’s driving society.

Visit www.FitFathersDay.com for details on our fitness focused celebration for dads in the Maryland, Virginia and DC area on June 16.

Augusto Cangahuala on Fatherhood

June 8, 2019 by Fit Fathers

Fatherhood to me means living to become a better person and role model for my kids. Fatherhood also allows me show my son and daughter what true love and selflessness represents while focusing on taking care of Self. The Fit Fathers movement is a responsibility for teaching younger generations how to nourish their bodies, be mentally and emotionally aware, stay physically fit and showcase kindness to others. I love Fit Fatherhood!

Styves Exantus on Fit Fatherhood

August 5, 2018 by Fit Fathers

A Fit Father means being both the teacher and the student. One day my daughter stated, “you don’t know what it’s like as a kid!” We were in disagreement about a topic and that statement made a major imprint in my mind. I was born in 1983, my daughter was born in 2006 and my son was born in 2017. We will all experience different social trends, advancements in technology, job markets, education, etc. Now, my mindset is learning what it is like to be a kid in 2018 and help her be successful and create characteristics that will be impactful in today’s society. My son will go through a different world when he is 5, 10 and 15 than we all did. Specific moral codes will remain law but the way they move will change and vary differently in comparison to the generation before them.

As Fit Fathers we know that we are teachers, providers and protectors, but continuously learning about the world our kids are living in will be an ongoing journey. My children will look to me for guidance and I will look to them for understanding of the daily triumphs and tribulations they face. Together we will keep each other growing.

EJ Kaku on Fit Fatherhood

June 20, 2018 by Fit Fathers

When I ponder on what it means to be a Fit Father I think of the word “serve.” Serve, like “love” has so many connotations such as being present when your children take their first step. Other shining examples include offering words of wisdom, taking care of them when they are ill, holding them tightly during hard times and celebrating during good times. Fathers offer so much value within the family structure, yet the greatest asset for each is to be a shining example.

When we serve we are setting the bar high in a positive manner and that is what leaders do. Being a great leader for your family will do so much for your children. You may not know it but they watch everything that we do and strive to be just like us. Leading by example will allow them to carry your life lessons into their own character traits. Yes, every dad should be a leader and a server.
