Summary
In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis dive into the thought process and strategies we use to build a positive conversation around fitness and nutrition.
We dig into the proper framing of how to eat, the benefits of specific foods, and the steps we take to ensure our kids are eating well.
We also discuss the steps we take to ensure our kids see fitness as a healthy part of life by being outside, seeing us train, and celebrating an active lifestyle.
This show will give you insight into a subject we do not dedicate full shows to, however, is something we think about on a daily basis when raising our kids.
We hope you enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Shrud Family this week on Barbell Shrug, Travis Madge, Doug Larson, and myself digging into a subject |
| 0:06.4 | that is probably the subject and fitness that I think the most about. |
| 0:11.0 | I have a pretty good understanding of my own health, how to eat, how to work out. |
| 0:15.8 | All of these systems have been built in my life, I recall it the last two plus decades, two and a half |
| 0:20.1 | decades, where they're just kind of like the things that I do in my life. |
| 0:23.6 | But now I have two little children in my house, one five and one two. |
| 0:28.4 | And in that it's very important to me that I am raising not just good kids but I want kids to adopt a lot of the |
| 0:36.9 | strategies to living a healthy life that I have done and this show is dedicated |

| 0:46.4 | kids lives, whether it's from how to eat, how to talk about eating, the framework in which |
| 0:51.7 | we discuss specific foods, some of the goals that we have |
| 0:54.8 | around nutrition and how do we implement those strategies to how do we get our kids to work out? |
| 0:59.6 | What do we think is important from them seeing us working out, us working out with our kids, |

| 1:22.1 | Like these things are incredibly just at the core of |
| 1:24.8 | happiness to me it's just being outside and playing and running and feeling alive and I want my kids to have |
