This MMA (mixed martial arts) style workout I found in the June, 2010 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine is incredible! It's pretty hardcore though so I've adapted it slightly and I have recently added a weight lifting component. With the whole program in place I didn't anticipate gaining 7 or 8 pounds! It still baffles me when I notice my body getting smaller and more cut while my weight is moving in the opposite direction...

Positive motion
360 pounds. I'm happy to see that road trip bulge quickly going away. I am super excited for tomorrow! I'm actually going to be able to hit the gym and lift. I'll explain...
So I have been working at the Indianapolis Hub for FedEX Express for almost 2 months now and I work in the most physically demanding department. In my department, 3-ton metal cans are unloaded off the planes and are pulled to a catwalk where my teammates and I unload them and place the packages on a conveyor belt where they are to be sorted. I equate it to moving into a new apartment for 3 hours every night in an factory environment that, even when it is cool outside, it feels like a south Florida summer inside. So it has been so physically demanding that if I try to get a lift in during the day then I don't have the strength to do my job at night.
Luckily, I save all of my workouts and I remembered I had a workout routine that I pulled from the iFitness app when I had my iPhone. This workout concentrates primarily on my arms, which I can always use help with, and only requires two workouts a week. So, I can lift on Friday, since Friday night is our slowest night, rest Saturday, and then go again on Sunday and have almost 36 hours of recovery time before my shift starts on Monday night / Tuesday morning at midnight. Then the rest of the week I can do cardio and yoga.
I am declaring this my Rocky IV summer! I'll explain tomorrow...
