About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a rural South Dakota born and Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 4 kids and over 500+ videos. We also have a TV show on the Magnolia Network called Super Dad. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.

I'd love to see the following day reactions for the guys to see how sore they are 😂

[@DudeDad]

hahaha we were sore...just believe me

[@DianneAguilera]

I hoped for this, too. The 2 days after my first Barre class were excruciating.

[@cruiseny26]

Omg yes.

[@ashupershpie]

@@DianneAguilerasaaaaaame. I actually cried walking up the stairs at work the second day after.

[@megacatdragonk70]

Ohhh same!

[@PatricesProjects]

😂 The things Taylor comes up with! The Richard Simmons getup really made this so fun to watch. I'd say the guys killed it, but only until they didn't. 😂😅

[@stevelambert6404]

The husbands of target would be awesome doing this, you might have to bring in oxygen for Myles 😂😂😂😂

[@DudeDad]

Especially here in altitude...

This reminds me of when I joined a kickboxing class filled with women. It was great until I volunteered to wear the padded suit so everyone else could practice their kicks. A lot of aggression was painfully taken out on me that day. Women are tougher than they get credit for.

[@amberyoung4425]

🤣🤣🤣 them lil lightweight barbell's can start to feel like 100lbs if you hold em up in the air long enough!😂😂

[@leahklein6814]

When I was in personal training bootcamp, we had to try different classes for our grade.... all the dudes were adamant that spin class was gonna be a waste of their time. Not one made it past 20mins..... it was an hour long class, lmao. The guys gave up and the women left high fiving each other. It was glorious ❤😂

[@DudeDad]

Note to self...no spin class....

[@GollumHatesNastyChips]

Strictly metabolic work is great, and you’d undoubtedly beat me. But HIIT and plyometric based workouts are my dojo and I’d win that hands down. Different types of training.

[@Dakotabrewer166]

This is the biggest lie I have ever heard. lol you know guys are stronger then girls right? A spin class would be super easy for men.

[@GollumHatesNastyChips]

@@Dakotabrewer166 This isn’t strength training. This is purely metabolic

[@Dakotabrewer166]

@@GollumHatesNastyChips lmao I know what it is.

[@JustMyOpinion_1]

Heidi was not happy when the guys showed up. Then I’m guessing she thought about it for a moment and knew her and the ladies would look bad azz next to you guys! Heidi WIN!

[@MrEgofreak]

You know it! *finger-snap*

[@alext5340]

Richard Simmons is a national treasure for fitness.

[@DudeDad]

Sweatin' to the oldies is a classic

[@cindys.9688]

Yes he is! I've always loved him.♥️

[@liliarosales1961]

“That work out was bullsh**” total Will Ferrel Step Brothers line with a matching wig 🤣

[@theluxadventurer]

So glad the guys actually saw what it's all about. Pure Barre is addictive but it will kick your booty - and that's the best part of it. I was never in better shape than when I was consistently going to Barre classes. Love it.

[@whitneyfeldmeier745]

Clicked on this soo fast and I didn't even know what barr class is 😅

[@DudeDad]

A new form of torture LOL

[@primitivedaisy]

I know what barre class is and couldn’t click fast enough! 🤭

[@ashupershpie]

I clicked and then made my husband come watch because he has been asking what I do.

[@cindys.9688]

​@@DudeDad ~ LOL!😂

[@froissart1]

I always made joke about my wife going to the "Barre" but after I tried it, it was NO JOKE! I was humbled. Diamonds SUCK!

[@DudeDad]

I'm right there with ya...

[@k86_]

Omg the thumbnail very richard simmons 😂

[@sunshine8915]

Dressing up as Richard Simmons love it!!❤

[@MorganMcRory]

My Jazzercise studio hosts an annual "bring someone you love" class in February and most of us bring our husbands to watch them flounder and get a taste for how hard we work. Also to see how uncoordinated they are in comparison 😂 My husband can barely move the next day.

[@gregorystell6858]

Am I the only one that's actually expecting Richard Simmons to show up in actually teach the class

[@DudeDad]

That woulda been amazing!

[@user-es5om1gq1j]

Oh, why the video is so short? It was so much fun - I want more!!!

[@cindys.9688]

Heidi is truly The Queen!👑 Next challenge: let Heidi get a break. Have all 4 kiddos, by yourself, for maybe 6 hours straight, make one of her dinner recipes, including doing the dishes, have it ready when she gets home, and no kids crying when she walks in the door. If you really want a challenge...include doing one load of laundry, washing and drying. Bwah hah hah!☠️😆 You two are adorable and I love you and your family to pieces.

[@carrie402]

Now that would be epic!

[@heidilarson5109]

I'd love to see this!

[@joshstenz]

We've been waiting and you didn't disappoint! Well done! 👍

[@DudeDad]

Thanks! What should the husbands do next?!

[@joshstenz]

​@@DudeDad Good question. The husband/wife combo video is fun. I'm thinking either spa day or a women's self-defense class.

[@elc7795]

How’s your pelvic floor after that workout? 😂

[@chelseastephens2990]

I took a barre class without knowing anything about it too. Couldn’t sit on the toilet without quietly screaming for 2 days bc my legs were so sore 🤦‍♀️😂

[@aeriontaylor]

YESSSSSSS HES A MAN OF HIS WORD😂..."lets see what happens 😂" indeed 😘

[@caitg4065]

Barre is no joke!

[@DudeDad]

for real felt the burn

[@charisginn6932]

No not the 5s haha. I made that mistake too my first time at barre. Sufficiently humbled, I always went for 2s in the future

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

Yes! Been waiting for this!

[@emilyviehland3544]

I like how the guys were all interviewed beforehand about their expectations, and then those comments were inserted right at their failures! 😂 I have definitely seen this sort of attitude with my husband, and he has learned better, finally.

[@joeskinner6432]

Love the follow up to the last one!

[@dawnsutherland3461]

Omg , so funny , I love your videos. Way to go, guys .

[@denisecooper731]

Very cool video. I did have a good laugh. Thanks

Thanks for patiently waiting!

[@bettyruth9142]

Y’all do the cutest videos !!

[@milanobus]

I for sure went in with the 5# weights. Then dropped to 2.5# then gave up and used nothing. 😂

[@Maddie1116]

The first time I did a barre class I wound up sick with COVID the next day and the soreness from the workout combined with the body ache from the fever.... I had to use my arms to lower myself on to the toilet because my legs simply could not😂

[@charisginn6932]

This same exact thing happened to me!! My bf had had some kind of cold (can’t remember if it was Covid) for about a week, but I hadn’t caught it and was feeling great. Went to barre, came home completely exhausted and by the end of the day I was in bed with a high fever + barely able to move lmao. Not a good time

[@JohannaGordonPNWplantlover]

Where do we see the FULL episode? This is hilarious

[@KelsieCakes]

The video I needed to watch after going to barre class this morning 😂

[@jaywattman199]

The video we have been waiting for lol

[@neeks6446]

🤣😂🤣 LOVED THIS

[@createwithconfidence8094]

How about trying a session on a pilates reformer? Your beginner classes might be easy but try a handful of intermediate or athletic movements or even one or two advanced movements. Or use the magic circle throughout, especially between the ankles with feet in straps. You'll feel a little jelly-like afterwards, even if you are just doing essential movements with the magic circle added into the movements.

[@expo1403]

Heidi needs to complete the circle and go to a workout with Taylor

[@karlaruter3221]

😂 good one 🎉! You guys rock 😊.

[@DudeDad]

thanks for watching!

[@jordantorres2964]

cant wait to see heidis "husband does barre class"

[@christinashideler319]

Do Zumba or a step class! Also, are you just leaving the tags on for the heck of it?

[@kathybell4878]

I want to know how their legs/calves felt the NEXT day! I could barely walk after my first Barre class! 🤣🤣

[@Dakotabrewer166]

Because you are a weak woman. 😂😂 they are men they are fine.

Should have had them do the Pure Barre Empower class 😂

[@lauriellewelyn7023]

Or Reform!

Heidi, you look amazing girl! 🙌

[@kriscarr389]

I was waiting for something that looked difficult. Ive never even heard of barre class before and i dont think its something thats available in my small northern canadian town but id be willing to try it and im going for 10 lb weights

[@morechickentacos]

Taylor, im vehemently childfree but you guys are the only family i follow on youtube, thank you for always make me crack up ❤

[@loispetch]

I love when men find out the classes we do ain't all mamby pamby....happens EVERY time.

[@cate7540]

You guys should try aerial silks or a trapeze lesson.

[@tracitries9514]

I thought the mesh pocket was for M&Ms! Who knew it was for tamales?! 🫔

[@kathleenflorencewatson2530]

When I took Pure "Barre" I called it "Pure Torture." I wanted to see their muscles shaking like mine were.

[@erinkelly1234]

looks like they had fun

[@DudeDad]

it was a blast

[@7349yt]

What's the next video? Couples counselling? Divorce court?

[@Sldejo]

The way these women will get you all the way snatched is amazing. Your muscles will be shaking in the wind like a leaf.

😂👏🏻👏🏻💞💞 great video!!

[@dylansousa5571]

Good video

[@kolbywilliams7234]

For people who are into sport science/physiology, these exercises will fatigue you for sure. One thing to note about these exercises though, is that since men are heavier, any exercise that utilizes body weight in an isometric fashion is significantly harder for them compared to your average woman. Men are more massive on average and even have more bone density on average, which is what makes some of these exercises much harder. As for whether the fatigue is worth the gains, isometrics are the least efficient for building muscle mass according to the peer reviewed literature. So you can do a full body workout with weights doing concentric and eccentric actions about 2-3 times per week, for less time, and get the same or better results as doing something like barre every other day for a whole class. As for barre in general, it’s not going to really “tone” or “lift” anything because that’s not what working a muscle actually does regardless of workout. What we call “toning” is mostly a combination of diet and genetics. This comes from decades of research on the subject. The reason many women who do barre look much better than women who do no exercise on average is because they tend to be more health conscious in other aspects of their life, especially their diets. Remove these confounders, and any workouts you do will fail to tone when not accompanied by a proper diet. TLDR, muscle definition is gained in the kitchen, not the gym.

[@rkcpmr5991]

😂omg!! so funny

[@lonnybush5612]

Was tucking tape used in this episode.?😂🤣😅

[@TheDuddleyCo]

For the record mma gyms are barefoot and I wouldn't call sparring or rolling particularly chill haha😂. Still looks easy though.

[@tashihaley8524]

Barre is legit!

[@annmoore321]

If it makes you feel any better, I can’t handle barre either.😂 I’ll stick to my running program and weight training, thanks.

[@maggiemacha5552]

Bravo 😄

[@cayannap6752]

Quarter pounder is what you get at McDonald’s

[@hattivattiensaari]

Yeah. Barre is hard. Been doing it for four years (?) and I'm still so dead after every class!

[@GollumHatesNastyChips]

Its still hard for you because that’s not how the body gets stronger. Great for burning calories

[@jenniferrufli4635]

This is so awesome! Oh my God oh my God I wish men could give birth LMAO! They would never be able to get through one quarter of the first contraction😅😂😂😂

[@KJDogluv]

You guys. Richard Simmons is amazing. Don’t diss him

[@Thisorganizedmother]

More husbands try!

[@msharp6887]

Everything is difficult if u have ever done it. But realistically, getting good at this kind of exercise is not nearly as hard as a gym workout

[@suzannemccray3159]

Didn't Barre start as military rehab?

[@genericwatcher2439]

Who else didn't know what a Barre Class was...?

[@TheSchnoodlemom]

I would love to see all these guys with that machine that simulates labor pain or monthly cramps. LOL LOL

haha! I made that video!

[@WendyD78]

​@@DudeDadI thought that was hilarious, especially when Heidi took you grocery shopping 🤣

[@TheSchnoodlemom]

[@tonysmith8779]

Guys and gals just workout much differently most women can't workout like men do either

2nd?

[@justoutoftime511]

First

*HIGH FIVE*

[@jamiethomas3768]

Hey Taylor, Heidi, my Mom👩and I are big fans of yours. Just a piece of advice and a heads up🆙. Don’t let your kids watch Steven Universe! That show was created by a really powerful and evil woman named Rebecca Sugar who manipulates people and takes beautiful amazing characters and storylines from my Gem💎Titans Sagas Series and ruins them by remaking them into her woke playthings!

[@Dakotabrewer166]

How hard do you have to simp for a comedy skit? lol these “workout classes” are easy and a waste of time.

[@AllyCakes12]

Was waiting for this!! 😂

[@DudeDad]

Glad you liked it!
