I am looking for the perfect workout/nutrition program to fit into my corporate lunch slot of about an hour. I am 155 lbs 5' 7" with that stubborn little beer belly complete with love handles. My goal is to remove the belly, (hopefully w/o giving up the beer completely) show some abs, and increase muscle mass by about 10 - 15 lbs. I can workout about 4 times week at lunch and plan to start mtn. biking for aerobic this spring.

I think there are a lot of people out there with the same workout needs.

If anyone can offer a solid plan I would be greatful!

(I tried getting a plan via this site, but there were problems with the site.)

What equipment do you have available? Are you hitting the gym or working out in your office? Almost any plan will work if you are going to the gym.
Try the site again, usually there is no problem customizing.
Let me know if you can't get it to work.

If you use your hour at the gym and stock you office with decent foods and a good Meal replacement shake for post=workout, you should be able to get decent results.

About an hour before luchtime you wil want to have either a shake or a small protein and carb meal. This is to help you maintain energy during your workout.

If you warm-up five minutes and do a weight routine for 30-40 minutes you should have plenty of time to shower or do a litle HIIT for cardio.
Like I said, more info and check the routines, let me know!

It is a full gym with everything. What do you mean by HIIT? I finally got the routines to work, so I am following one of the site's workout programs. Thanks for your response! :dumbbell:

High Intensity Interval Training, which means performing your cardio at varying levels of intensity. For example, Walk 1-2 min., jog 1-2 min, sprint 30s.-1 min. and repeat for no more than 18-20 minutes. It will kick your butt, but that's a good thing.
