They’re two of the most influential names in the Australian fitness industry.

Speaking to BW Magazine, Commando revealed their two-year-old was already doing squats and used kitchen objects as barbells.

The former Biggest Loser coach revealed how his toddler needed no prompting when it comes to exercise.
‘They see what I do as the norm, we all exercise. My little one, Axel, is two and he picks up the empty clingfilm cardboard roll and pretends it’s a barbell and he’ll do squats and burpies as well,’ Commando said.
The fitness fanatic said he has no problems motivating his older kids to get outside and active.
