So in the last 2 years I've gone from 650+ pounds to 480 last month the only exercise I get is standing/walking at work and walking on the weekend 30 or so minutes and occasionally doing cross kneed girl push-ups. I would like some advice on how to start a workout regimen that would preferably be not to hard on my knees and lower back. Pic related my fat body scrunched up

your body looks like a curious robot

If you have decent medical insurance, seriously consider consulting a Physical/Occupational Therapists. They're whole deal is exercises that are a simple starting place to getting stronger/being more mobile.
>>
>>42646992
My insurance is ridiculously expensive
>>
Just by walking your legs are already getting a godlike workout dude, don't worry about them.

Focus on mobility. Walking, swimming and doing arm and upper body light lifting.

Stretching is very important as well.
>>
>>42646992
Also I can get around pretty good I work an 8 hour standing/walking job and do yard work at home my knees just really hurt to bend too much
>>
>>42647018
Then I'd say to take up swimming, short of drowning it's hard to hurt yourself. Once you are more human sized you can worry about strength training.
>>
>>42647032
Thanks anon I guess I'm just impatient I want to be able to squat and workout hard and stuff but my body just doesn't seem to be ready
>>
Another question is how would I know what an ideal weight would be for me? I'm 23 years old 6 feet 3 inches tall with thick bones
>>
>>42647056

Anon you do a 480 squat everytime you get out of your chair.

Just walking down the street for 30 mins is a harder workout for you than I can in 2 hours in the gym. All in good time dude, you gotta lose 200 or more pounds before you worry about free weights.

Walk as much as you can, swim and do very light upper body work (machines would be great for this). You'll be fine.

>>42647063

Don't worry about ideal weight, when you get low enough that it makes sense, start tracking body fat percentage.

Thank you for being a genuinely helpful and good person :')
>>
>>42647151

NP dude, just keep at it and keep losing weight. You can do it man. You've already added years onto your life. Now add a couple decades more.
>>
>>42646976
That's really great progress, keep at it and don't give up and I can guarantee you'll be healthier and happier. Like others have said, swimming is great. Your diet is really important as well.
>>
>>42647018
roleplay, obama made it so that your fat ass wont pay more than twice what a healthy athlete at 20 yrs old pays.

But if somehow real... for you anything is exercise. You could sit there and rotate your arms in circles for 3 mins at at time without stopping and it will help. Lay on back, lift legs as high as you can for as long as you can.
Just roll around a bit

Thanks everyone who wasn't being an ass I'll post in a few more months when I've lost more weight I appreciate the advice, the support and with a few exceptions the human decency you've shown me tonight
>>
>>42646976
All you must do is literally walk everyday. Get something that can be used as a standing desk and put your laptop or something on there, so when you are browsing the web, you are standing. Standing is good for you. Watch caloric intake, that is the most important. All other forms of exercise are tertiary. Walk and stand until you are under 300 pounds.
>>
As stated, literally just walk little more or even move your arms just a bit. Keep your arm raised as long ad you can walking, then switch hand. Get some light weight dumbells and lift long sets. Once you get to like 250-280, consider workout regime.
>>
>>42647281
t. OP
>>
Walking and swimming would be great for you. Swimming especially.

How did you get so big?
>>
Man you just lost 200lbs all by yourself. Keep doing what you are doing. You are gonna make it brah.

You already did the hardest part, it will be easier now.
>>
>>42646976
I went from 290 to 205 (still losing) by mainly doing big walks and about half way through I started doing basic weights at home (dumbells - which I wish I'd started sooner because they're hella satisfying)

So yeah, for now just walking and weights will do you fine bud. Keep at it, you're going to make it if you want it bad enough.

Why are you suggesting light lifting? As long as he's sitting down and not stressing his knees, heavy lifting, probably with dumbbells, seems like fair game to use up a shitload of calories so he loses weight faster and comes out of a cut looking great
