Need help, helping my brother lose weight.

Suggest that if he cannot or should not run to at least hituop a bike or rower, these should be better for his knees. well it takes dicipline to lsoe weight but lots of water, protiena nd excercise should do the trick, take it slow and gradually work him into a routine. eventually he may come to like the new lifestyle

jump rope
heavy bag



P.S. Jack_the_rippah - That sweat suit stuff is the worse thing u can use...

yeah i was thinking about putting him on a bike and maybe also give him a strength program.

He is going to start with jiu-jitsu so there is hope.

Why/How is it bad? The idea is just like a sauna..

They say that you only lose fluid, not fat & then just put the weight back on. Something like that, anyway.

The best thing you can do for your brother is to try to change his MIDSET. Unless he becomes a self motivator, you'll be battling him for years trying to get him off the couch. He has to want to do it himself, you can't make him do it.

Whats important is getting him to want to get thin!
