OK, I posted what I need help with!!
Okay, now I see.
It looks like all four of the items are going to be most affected by one thing: The amount of fat you have around your midsection. The midsection will even get in the way on the sit/ reach and prevent you from doing many situps. Not only does it take more oxygen to carry around, it's an actual obstacle - it's in the way of you bending your body.
So, if you want this really bad, you've got to get out there and run or bike at all different speeds and levels of exertion. Try slow and steady a couple days a week, then try slow and steady five minutes, fast jog two minutes (no rest). Then a couple of times a week, go all out for 30 seconds and jog for a minutes.
Diet is going to be just as important. Either cut your calories to 1200 or your carbs to 20-30 a day. Try not eating three hours before you go to bed. Then, get up and exercise with no carb intake (eating only protein and fat).
Wish I could say that there's an easy way to do this, but think of all of the other guys trying that haven' had WLS. You've got it made in the shade, bro. 6 months?
A piece of cake. Just get out there and live like and athlete. The best cops are true athletes and really fit. This helps them gain the respect of the public and intimidates a lot of a**holes from giving them any sh**. So, go out there and do it!
Hope this Helps,
Dave
Derrick,
Just took a look at your weight. I don't know if you've even been of a medium weight in your life, but if you haven't once you get below a certain weight, all of those exercises will be easy to do (if you have been exercising). I'm 5'9 and huskily built, so for me the weight was about 220. Once I reached that weight, I could do everything on your chart, flying colors.
Didn't you say you are 6' 2 or so? That means, unless you get down to about 240, it's probably going to be tough.
So focus on getting the weight down and everything else will fall into place.
Just another note,
Dave
Nice and simple 6-month plan for getting lean and healthy (no gym required) -- 1. pushups 2. front ab crunches 3. side ab crunches 4. leg lifts 5. knee bends 6. calve raises 7. cycling or jogging Do these 5 days a week or more for six months and you will be amazed at the results. Best of luck, Boner
Hey Derrick,
Six months is an eternity, especially after you've had WLS. More than anything, getting any remaining pounds off and getting closer to goal weight are going to help you. Weight, and it doesn't matter if it's fat, muscle or whatever will slow you down in most of the areas on that chart, because you need to use so much more oxygen. Every 20 lbs you lose are going to make you a lot closer to where you need to be.
That's one side of it, sorry let me take a look at the chart and make another post...
