Down a dozen donuts, three large pizzas, a couple Big Mac?s, and a few plates of spaghetti over the weekend? If you?re fitness trainer (that?s right, fitness trainer) Paul James from Melbourne, Australia, that?s just a pudgy little walk in the park.

Gyms are home to an assortment of body types. There?s the hulking, muscle-bound guys with arms the size of California, the noobs with arms the size of California raisins, and everyone in-between.

It hides in the shadows.

Missing a day or two at the gym shouldn?t mess with your workout momentum (and if it does, you need to break up your overly strict routine).

I?m not a bike messenger, construction worker, waiter or janitor. I don?t lift heavy objects nor am I on my feet all day long.
