Bad news for you. Your genetics are going to determine how fast and where you lose the wait and the fat. Yes you can do exercises to tone it up but it will only help so much. Learn to embrace the new you congrats on your success so

Congratulations on your success what you did is unbelievable. Let me give you my background I was always the fat kid. I'm a 56 year old male six feet four inches tall. January 2016 my starting weight was 288. My current weight is 208 Which I've been maintaining for about 9 months. Your weight will fluctuate from week to…

I'm like you but for me it's not the next day it's when I get home after my workout. I work out later on in the day and I have protein right after my workout. Everything I've read and heard about protein intake it's really important to take it after you finish your workout within 10 or 15 minutes cuz that's when your body…

You really need to talk to a physical therapist about what you can and can't do. Please whatever you do don't take any advice from people on this website as far as a medical condition. Even though their intentions may be good they can give you some bad advice that could lead to more damage to your back. I'll give you my…

Before you do anything talk to your Orthopedic Doctor Who treated your broken ankle. He may tell you to talk to a physical therapist to see what kind of workout routine you can do. Please do not ask anyone for any medical related advice on this website. Even though they have the best of intentions without knowing your…

I'm not a runner. I can't because of my knee issues but I speed walk and I can do about a 16 minute mile. I also have the hard Orthotics they do have a little cushion but they are like a hard composite material. I had them custom fitted for me by my rehab facility and I haven't had any blistering issues with them. One…

My recommendation is Tony Horton new version of P90 DVD series. It's a combination of strength training cardio yoga Plyometrics. it's really a great all-around workout that's five to six times a week and the routines go anywhere from half an hour to forty minutes

Need to see an orthopedist. Vaneza very complicated joint and you don't want to do more damage to it then there is right now

Please don't ask advice from people on this site if you're having issues with your kneesperiod even though they may be well-intentioned they don't know what your medical condition is and they could be giving you some advice that can cause some serious damage. You need to talk to an orthopedic surgeon about your knee. I'll…

If you can only take 10 steps and your knee hurts just walking my recommendation is you better see an orthopedic specialist. Please whatever you do even though they may be well-intentioned don't take advice from people on this website. Their suggestions maybe valid in their own opinion but without knowing your medical…

It all depends on what your goals and fitness level is. I don't think there's a definitive answer on the time frame for the workout but it's more the efficiency of the workout. I see guys at the gym lifting heavy and they'll take a couple minutes in between sets. As far as I'm concerned I'm a big fan of Tony Horton and his…

One other thing a lot of gyms give reduced rates to high school and college students during the summer. Typically that's when a gym is the less crowded cuz most people are outside

Unless joining a gym is not a financial burden don't use time as an excuse. There are plenty of people who work full-time jobs and still go to the gym. It's just a matter of allocating your time. I work full time when my daughter was young I coached softball and basketball for her and I still make time to go to the gym 3…

I totally agree with you congratulations on your persistence it's just a matter of taking one step at a time 2 years ago I couldn't do one pushup period started with wall push-ups then progressed to couch push ups then knee push ups now I could crank out a shitload of push ups. My next goal is one-handed push-ups I did…

Seems like pricey $200 for a consultation for the trainer. As far as the kind of workout my recommendation is ask your doctor to set you up with a physical therapist.The therapist will be able to prescribe you any workout and explain how to do the exercises and what kind of exercises you do. Just to let you know I speak…

Please do not take advice from people on this website or dr. Google. Even though they may try to give you helpful suggestions without personally diagnosing your condition they have no idea what they're talking about and you can do some serious damage listening to their advice or dr. Google's advice. You may not want to…

As you lose the weight you'll get less stress on your knees. As another poster said if you've had chronic knee issues the best thing to do is see an orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist they'll be able to prescribe a routine or work out for you. I'll give you my perspective double hip replacement 2 years ago and…

Congratulations on making your choice to change. Unfortunately you can't control how where and when you're going to lose your weight. Your genetics will determine where the fat comes off. For me the last place it's coming off is around my waist but you know what I look a lot better now than I did 80 lbs ago. Just be…

I'll give you my experience with Beachbody. I'm a fan of Tony Horton I've done 10 minute trainer the old P90 the new P90 and multiple rounds of P90X. I'll give you my perspective 56 year old male double hip replacement and arthritic knee and an arthritic shoulder that eventually need to be replaced. Yes any exercise can be…

To me working out is more mental Than Physical. I like to tell people the toughest part of my workout is walking into the gym period once I'm in there the workout itself is As far as wearing nicer or better fitting clothes it probably does make you feel better cuz you're taking more pride in yourself and when we have pride…

Y please do not try to get advice on this website or from dr. Google. You need to specifically explain to your doctor what he wants to do and if he can't give you an answer ask him to refer you to a specialist who deals with blood clots. To put things in perspective I had a double hip replacement 2 years ago and based on…

As some others have said what are your goals for training and diet. Do you want to lose weight or do you want to run a marathon or do you want to gain muscle and tone up. Each one of these require different approaches. I'll give you my perspective for the first year I basically focused on diet and did some general…

First of all you're absolutely right nobody's really going to pay attention to you. As far as taking a lesson it's a great idea but eventually you're going to have to develop your own technique and feel for the breathing. My other suggestion to you is there's a great website called 02 1500. It's a routine for people who…

In my opinion it's a simple matter of staying within your calorie limit. You could lose weight eating Snickers bars and drinking vodka. On the other hand I wouldn't recommend that as far as what it would do to your body not the best idea. I'll give you my experience January 1st 2016 my weight was 288 lb. When on vacation…

Congratulations on your success. As far as if it's good or not that's something you have to determine yourself. the most important thing is when you look in the mirror if you're happy that's all that matter don't go by anybody else's standards. To put things in perspective took me 8 months to lose about 80 pounds and I've…

Congratulations on your success. When I went into maintenance my original goal weight was 220 pounds I would have been perfectly happy at that. screwed maintenance up totally and I went down to 204. For a while I thought what would it look like if I drop to199 or less. But the more I thought about it I didn't like how I…

I'll give you my perspective January 1st 2016 I weigh 288 pounds my current weight is 208 and I've been maintaining for approximately nine months. I decided to go into maintenance at 2:20 and I totally screwed it up my weight drop down to 204 pounds before I figured it out and my current weight is about 208 which I like.…

Based on what you said I guess you're not going or don't have access to a gym and you want to work out at home. There are plenty of good exercises on YouTube as far as working and toning your Some of my suggestions are squats, front lunges, rear lunges, side lunges, three position calf raises, wall squats, plyometrics…

As other posters have said you can't lose thigh fat specifically. Your genetics will determine where when and how the fat will come off. It's just a matter of eating at a calorie deficit and the fat will come off but you really can't control where it comes off. As far as leg exercises there are plenty. If you have access…

In my opinion BMI does not work. It's an Antiquated system and it gives you an unhealthy perspective of what you should look like. I'm 57 year old male 6 foot 4 approximately 208 pounds with a 35 inch waist. According to BMI index I'm overweight. PMI considers me healthy anywhere between 160 ish and 205. If I weighed 170…
