Q. Hi Fitz, I'm 26 years old and have never been happy with my upper body. My arms are lanky and my chest is soft. I have a demanding job as an attorney, and simply don't have the time nor the know how to get involved in a complicated training regiment. I know I have to "earn" a good body, so I was hoping you could dumb things down for me. A simple routine I can do in a hurry. P.S. I love your fit tip videos! Thanks. Tim

A. Hello Mr. Tim! Training for a guy with "no time" huh? That' my specialty! Glad you asked. Look pal, I wish I could pull off the persona as a rocket scientist, because I'm on top of this stuff ... but I can't. Fitness is painfully simple, and you can achieve your goals without much complexity.

Here's your fancy routine Tim. Push-ups and pull-ups. That's it! Those two exercises done on a regular basis will work every muscle from your hips on up, and some below as well. I suggest you begin with three sets of both. Do as many as you can on set one, followed by a 60 second break. Then do as many as you can on set two, followed by another 60 second break. Finish up with as many as you can on set three. Eventually the amount of reps in each set will increase significantly.

Start by doing this for each exercise twice a week. Once the soreness wears off, increase your frequency to three times per week. With this type of training Tim, your: chest, back, biceps, triceps, lats, shoulders, and abdominals should be bulging within two months. You asked for simple and quick, and that's what you got. Now get to work!

P.S.S.! I'm thrilled you enjoy my videos!
