Hey all... i'm new here, basically because i've decided i REALLY need to get back into shape.
I took 2 years of Police Foundations in college, which was VERY fitness intensive, then after college i kinda kept on eating the same, but i stopped the workouts because i was used to being told to do them at school. I guess I lost some motivation.
Also, I broke my ankle a few years back, and that's been giving me some pain. But even prior to that I've had a lot of pain in both my shins/calves, even just from walking home from school. I went to a sports doctor about it and the guy just recommended muscle therapy/massages, but there's gotta be something else I can do to avoid the pain. Could i just be walking/running incorrectly?
Anyways, I know what it takes to get in shape. I weighed about 210 in college, and i'm up to almost 240 now (I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall). I guess my weight goal would be 200 or less. Is there anything that will take the weight off faster? Cardio vs strength training?
Thanks for reading and for your help
