I ahve 5 months to loose my weight and tone up. I want to drop about 15 pounds. See here is my problem, I got my diet in order. But I CANT run. My body just cant handel it. Im 18, 6'0 and weigh about 170. What should I be doing? I plan on doing crunches every night before bed. I also am going to weight train 3-4 times per week and keep my good diet going. But what else can I do to shed some pounds? I cant do the tredmill,olyptical or anything. I try and i get a minute in and just want to kill myself slowly. HELP me out:eek:
 
Listen..I cant do it. I broke my right leg in half and running is exctremly painful for me. I do ahve a good weight training program with a schedule and all. Plus im going to do my crunches at night. I just wanted to know what else I should do to loose the weight
 
deffinatley! Im not going TO the gym anymore. I am building my garage into on. I have a real good setup in there now. I just like bing at home with the stereo there and my fridge full of water haha. More comfortable to. Nobody around. Im going to start road biking again. I went form my house to the beach in september. It was a 45 mile trip!
 
Have you tried using an elliptical machine? It's essentially the same as running, except you don't have the high-impact on your joints and bones. It might be worth checking out.

If you can't use that, I'd suggest either swimming or cycling. Congrats on your 45-miler! My first 50 mile ride was an experience to say the least. Sounds like you haven't had much in the way of training recently, though. If you plan to start up again, start slowly with some 5 or 10 mile rides with some good hills thrown in. Once you feel confident with those, move to 15 and 25 milers, etc..

I'd also suggest contacting your physician or physical therapist. I'm sure you had some sort of therapy following your injury - if you call their office or go in and talk to someone, I'm sure they can recommend a treatment or workout routine that will be effective in your weight loss goals. Remember, a good physical therapist designs a workout around the patient and his goals, so if your therapist tells you not to worry about weight loss, see someone else.
