[QUOTE="Battering Ram, post: 1354881, member: 89952"] Can you do Bodyweight squats or lunges? I’m guessing you can sit down in a chair and stand back up. If so you should be able to to body weight squats. You can stand next to a machine and as you squat down you can reach for the machine edge to help support you until you can fully stand up under your own leg power. It will take some time but you can regain some strength that way. At your age remember to listen to your body and what it’s telling you. True functional strength is full motion of any given joint without pain. Leg press and dead lifts (light) help with leg strength too. Replace running with using a row machine or an elliptical is you have them handy. Sometimes just walking helps. With the cardio a good goal per week is to not increase your workout more than 10% from the previous week. Take your time and get your body accustomed to moving for an hour or so. You will see the results happen for you. Mind your diet and be positive. Sounds like you are full steam ahead and I know you will be on the mountain in no time showing your kids how to get it done. Good luck [/QUOTE]
