Dad tips from celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak

If he can train Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Halle Berry and Katy Perry, appear on Oprah, and also have a book on the New York Times bestselling list, he must know what he’s talking about.

If he can train Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Halle Berry and Katy Perry, appear on Oprah, and also have a book on the New York Times bestselling list, he must know what he’s talking about. So when I got the chance to meet with Harley Pasternak recently, I knew he would put me through the paces and help me keep fit and active as a modern dad.

But what I didn’t realize was that he himself is a relatively new dad of a one-year-old daughter. So along with all of his numerous TV engagements, celebrity clients and writing he is continually trying to keep pace with his hectic schedule and balance his duties as a father. So to talk fitness and fatherhood with Harley was a perfect way to spend an afternoon! Here are the highlights!

Thanks so much, Harley, for the fitness tips and sharing your own fatherhood memories and viewpoints with me! I just have to ask: Since you’ve worked out Bono and Kanye West, could I hang fitness wise with those guys? Am I as easygoing a student?
