Working out, Dr Ex in charge Options

[+Ed+]

Ok, guys, not to flood Ray's topic, let's discuss workouts right here and maybe Ex will be able to give us all some advice.

I need some badly. Used to be a professional vollyball player, but after aninjury and fucked up doctors had to give up

used to be playing football each week, but now I hardly have any time to do that.

I need to shape myself a bit up. With my 198 height I weigh only 80 kgs. And feel vry well.

Is there any possibility of a workout for me?

Atkins looks like the deal in the short term ... under 20 net carbs a day is hard. Been looking through shit that I have pantry and never realised how many carbs are in certain things. Do you know of any good links to places that have a good example of an atkins type diet over the course of a week or so? When you say no drink except water, would that exclude tea as well? I usually like tea with a drop of milk, don't drink coffee drinks, beer I can cut out easy enough, gonna cut the soft drinks too.

I'm also a bit of a retard when it comes to this stuff, with the fact that my metabolisim has been so good for all my life and I've been able to eat whatever I want and still look fine I've never really had need to pay attention to any kind of nutrional lables, which is stupid I know. When I see the lable and you have:

Energy, Protein, fat total, fat saturated, carbohydrates, sugars and sodium .. I think that's what most have. What are the ideal ones I should be looking at and how much of each would be my goal per day? Obviously you mentioned carbs and that's got to be under 20 a day ... still not sure how anyone does that without eating a solid diet of lettuce (andthe ? )

Also with the exercise I've been thinking I'll stick to the gym with a treadmill + bike combo. Hoping that 4-5 days a week in the gym with a 30-45min cardio work out will help too ... got a good tip that training yourself to run more using the balls of your feet can be better for impact/pain with your knees .. apparently a little difficult to get used to but once you get the hang of it you notice the difference.

the treadmill will crush your knees. try the elliptical, i didn't mention it before because i personally don't like it, but others really like it. no impact.
