In the gym with Army Second Lt. Alan Adkisson to demo the next Military Muscle workout

We met Army Second Lt. Alan Adkisson this week at Vida City Vista in Washington, D.C., to shoot Bob Thomas' upcoming Military Muscle workout.

Adkisson, 23, is a military intelligence officer who will complete Airborne School at Fort Benning, Ga., before he ends up at Fort Bragg, N.C. Adkisson, a certified personal trainer, studied at the University of Texas.

"Nerdy," he said, "But my fitness hobby is helping others be more healthy."

Second Lt. Adkisson's workout will appear in the April 23 issue of OFFduty. Do you want to be in PT365? Find out how here.
