Letters: Pennsylvania dad agrees with Philadelphia Daily News columnist Solomon Jones: 'Swoling' creates domestic bliss

RE SOLOMON Jones' June 26 column on getting "swole":

You're right, fatherhood and age don't let us get swole like we used to. But all is not lost. If you still want some swole, try kettlebells. Used to be you had to order them online and pay a ton for shipping, but they're becoming more popular and stores like Sports Authority now carry them.

It's not the same swole as when you hit the gym, but it's better for dads like us.

First, it doesn't tick off the wife. You can get a good workout in 15 or 20 minutes. I often do mine while folding laundry. A hard set, fold clothes for two minutes, another hard set, and so on. My wife likes it this way. The chores are done, and I got my swole on.

And I can now carry seven bags of groceries at once instead of having to make repeated trips to the car. Seriously. The kettlebell: The swole dad's best friend.
