Yeah i agree i'm trying to do the same with my mum but she complains alot when working out.

[futurebeast67]

if he is in that bad of shape just start out small short jogs and some simple exersises like crunches and stuff and start by just cutting out crap from diet like sweets alcohol etc

[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

get him swimming or cycling? He might hurt himself if you get him running with all that weight as his age, especially his lower back adn legs.

Start off slow, at that age you can't really be sure of possible problems within the body.i.e (bad heart,weak bones, bad joints) And he smokes!!?? that's gotta go before anything man..You gotta start slow. Walk a mile or two each night, get him to pick up some dumbbells to do some light lifting.Basicly get him to do ANYTHING, as long as it's not too strenuous

man is your dad filipino? filipinos and blacks are very similar diet wise and they have the same kinda health problems its that greasy food man.

i started eating healthy 3 years ago and working out i feel better.

if you on the westcoast just go to traders joes and buy organic foods,fruits and vegatables and avoid that greasy adobo chicken...i know cause i date some filipina girl and man the food is good especially the deep fried baby chickens damn **** is crispy.
but they bad for your health.

main things to look for...low soduim, low fat, no cholesterol, no transfat.

I dnt know much about getting people to lose weight but thing is you should go 2 a doc and make sure its ok. Then start lightly with jogs and stuff, dnt go too hard at first. Once he looses a good amount of weight you can make the workouts more intense. I dnt noe much but i think thats ok advice
