/fit/ I have been tasked with a challenge. My family has pressured me and I have cracked, I am going to try to get my brother-in-law in shape, mainly because he's 40 and has the heart of a 70 year old overweight camel.
It's been about three weeks and he's doing decent enough in the gym with one exception: legs. I've tried simple movements, such as lunges and box step-ups, just to get him some mobility. He's struggling with those, and I don't know what else to do to get him started working legs. Any Tips?

cityfags. Would treadmill on a high incline do anything to help him?

Struggling how? Maintaining balance or actually performing the reps? Maybe get him to do yoga once or twice a week. Would definitely help him with balance, mobility, and breathing. Then ease him into the leg workout you'd have him do as he loses weight. This is all assuming he's overweight.

maintaining balance as well as actually performing the reps. He isn't a quitter I'll give him that, just no luck

Try the leg press, Rippetoe even has a video about how he uses it for getting people into shape for squatting.
