I am an amateur boxer. I just started in the last two years. The training constantly has me near my max heart rate of 190 in bursts. I burn from 1100-1500 in about a 1 - 1/2 to 2 hour workout. I am 30 years old, 6'1 , and around 235 pounds. I started off at 290 pounds. It has been coming off at a steady pace so I don't…

I lost all my weight from boxing. Its brutal cardio, (I was out of shape at 290 pounds) but I learned to love it. Drink lots of water!

Walking backwards with incline helps rehab certain knee injuries.

Hey Bowencandy. I'm not sure... My experiences with running was a some pain but not unbearable. I get a "wobbly" weak knee feeling If i run too much which worries me but isn't TOO unbearable in the pain department. Knee braces do take a little stress off the knee. I personally don't use them very often, but I probably…

I do lots of cardio and and drills on heavy bags for about 1hr 1/2. HRM shows I burn about 1150, but I'm also around 250 pounds and heart rate gets up to 190 at least. I accidentally had my wife's settings on the HRM one day, and it only showed i burned 770 for the same time. So I'm guessing it just has to do with mainly…

So i cannot compare myself to your son. He is a human machine. I couldn't do 15 chinups right now even if I was being chased by bears. That is great to hear. Didn't seem to slow him down at all. I have sparred with boxers and wrestled with wrestlers and I have no doubt he was in impeccable shape. Wrestlers always wear me…

That is amazing, and good to hear. How much did he weigh? I think my healing been dampened a little because of my extreme weight (250 currently). Its good to hear that his leg is even better. I look forward to it. I heard around 4-5 months the graft is physically healed, but its just strengthening your leg back up to its…

That is amazing recovery for your son! Ahhh to be 17 again.

I read a little on the TDEE method but haven't tried it yet. I am 6'1 - 30 years old. Sitting at 248 pounds down from 290. I am trying to lose 2 pounds a week and MFP has me on 1670 calories per day. BMR calculator = 2334.14. I have my settings at sedentary (i work out at least 3 times a week, but I work in the video game…

I also had patella tendon graft around the same time as tomeddington. so its been about 5 months. For me it seemed to heal in bursts. I would go weeks without much improvement, then wake up one day and be able to do something I was struggling with. Just don't skip out on therapy or exercises at home. They suck, but really…

Sorry it took so long for me to notice your post! I am active on here. Adding you. I have also just got the all clear for straight line jogging, but it still scares me a little. My knee gets tired really fast, and I get this weird feeling in it... Like it wobbles. Its not painful but it just feels odd. Weird that you lost…

You can use that nervousness / fear of failure to help you succeed. Everyone fails at points in their life, but it is not the end by any means. I think you'll do fine, just keep a positive outlook!

Thanks Abi! Added you.
