Hey first and foremost i gotta say "well done" to your dad for quitting the cigs. I did the same this march after not missing 30 cigs aday for the past 27 years so i know how hard it is, I now spend 3 days aweek in the gym, have put on 15lb of weight and lost 2 inches from my waist line. started at 180lb and 5ft 9" and 34 waist so in a little over 9 months ive gone from being unable to climb 3 flights of stairs without stopping to running 3 miles every 3 days and blowing away a 1000 calories on the cross trainer and doing the weights to add 15lb of solid lean muscle mass. all at the ripe old age of 41. if you wanna help your dad , my advice is to keep doing what is best and thats supporting him and let him do what feels GOOD in the gym and let him enjoy the experience . That way he keeps going and keeps getting fitter.
