I'm personally tired of magazines dictating unreasonable body types, and new diets that seem to pop up every other week. That said though, I've always been a big fan of working out, whether it was hitting the heavy bag to let out aggression, running to clear my mind, or what I'm most into now - Jivamukti Yoga, to keep myself sane and have an excuse to turn my cell phone off for an hour each day.

Instead of turning to some gym buff, I thought I'd try to make this more interesting - you know, things you can do at home - so I caught up with Craig Ahead of Sick of it All. When he's not touring, he's a certified teacher at Panza's Kickboxing Gym. These are some of the things Craig does when he's out on tour.

TOUR FITNESS ROUTINE - 2-day alternations

DAY 1
Shadow box 10 minutes to warm up (optional)
Do all upper body excercises (pull-us, push ups, dips) as well as 2 or 3 midsection movements on the same day. Start with the larger muscle groups and work your way toward the smaller ones (ex. Start w/pull-ups working through until you finish with abdominals). Do a "set" of a particular movements with a 30-45 second rest, then on to the next exercise until you finish all allotted excercises for upper body/midsection. Rest 1-2 minutes, then repeat, do 3 to 5 sets of this. Shadow box 5 minutes to cool down (optional)
DAY 2
Shadow box 10 minutes to warm up.
The next day do lower body excercises (jump squats, sissy squats) as well as 2 or 3 (preferably different) midsectoin movements. Again start with large muscles and work your way toward smaller ones. Repeat in the same fashion as you did on day 1. Shadow box 5 minutes to cool down.

If you want to take it to the next level, try doing all movements for a particular day one after another with no rest, then after the group of excercises are completed, rest 1-2 minutes, and do again. Repeat this for 3-5 sets. Done in this fashion, your endurance/recovery time will be greatly increased.

All 'plyometric' excercises (jump squats, plyometric push ups) can be done as regular movement(without the "jump"). If the tour is long these will be too high impact, so just do them in the traditional fashion. Drink plenty of water and try to eat soon after.
