Help needed from the guru's.

Hello All,

I am browsing from another forum..hope you don't mind. Please advise me on what needs to be done regarding the pooch effect...I really dont' want to do a dramitic change like surgery..but I am also a person with back issues (that is what two car accidents back to back will do.) I really want to start working out again so please excuse any stupid questions that I might have. I used to teach cheerleading for years and since I stopped ..my arms have turned into major flab as well. Can anyone recommend any semi fast result building tips?

Thanks all!

Diet, exercise.

There's really no other better approach than that.
You need to make sure your diet is clean. And you need to exercise, cardio and weights or resistance training.
What are these 'back issues'?
What can you do and what can't you do?
'Back issues' is a very broad statement.

Can you run? Or is the jarring effect too much?
If so, do the elliptical machine or even a bike as your form of cardio. Can you squat, leg press, bench, do pull ups, dips, calf raises....etc. etc?
I'd imagine that there's a bunch of things that you CAN do. And...doing something is better than doing nothing.

Hi...thanks for the feedback. Definately no running due to basket tosses gone wrong knees are not what they should be. I am taking supplements for that. Sit Ups are really a killer on my back..I was looking and seeing "reverse" sit ups..aka..lowering your legs with resistance? I definately want to do some resistance training.
