Ok, it looks like I'll be able to start training and exercising very shortly. I have been doing what I can, but it's been mostly upper body and not much cardio or lower body.

My question is, besides the obvious (eat less and exercise more), any good diet/exersice plans I might want to consider looking into? I have about fifteen-twenty pounds I want to get rid of asap.

Thanks for any advice,

Jeff

Stay with protien and remember to leave the bad carbs alone, try to do it at a slow rate so you can keep it off. I guess last thing is to remember when starting over from an ingury make sure the body can keep up with the mind.

I was given the advice to eat smaller portions of the things I like, to avoid cravings. And any time is a good time to exercise, like doing twenty pushups or situps when I come back from a bathroom break. Or do squats while the commercials are on.

My two stand-bys are P90X and Insanity. I sound like a broken record, but they really have done the trick for me. If those are too intense, there are others I can recommend.

I'd definitely recommend isometric and isotonic training. Don't start some crazy diet regime or your body will start to conserve fat rather than shed it. Goal setting is a must. Anyone who sets goals, writes them down, and follows through with them has a much higher success rate than those who don't. The best workout regime I have seen to date, IMO even better than "Insanity" and "P90X" is a something called the "Bully Xtreme" by Frank Sherrill. It is absolutely fantastic. Go to www.bullyxtreme.net and check it out. Wish you the best! :)

Never heard of Bully Xtreme. I will have to look that up later. Right now I am doing P90X 3 because with my time limits I can't do an hour each day. Each X3 workout is only 30 minutes long. So far it is packing quite a punch.
