I have gained some weight since becoming a dad and want to get back into running and lifting once the nanny starts.

Any tips on good running shoes for a flatfooted man? Or any good weight routines?

I like kettlebells and there’s a lot of good advice in the responses on using a barbell which I def recommend

for running shoes I like Nikes but I’m sure there’s people who know more than I do in this area
