[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 548811, member: 503"] You know me man, I'm a fitness freak so here's my best advice. Get on your diet ASAP. You'll start losing weight right away and I'm sure a lot of your joint pain and problems come from excess weight. At the very least, less weight will help there. I also never thought I'd say this but after reading all your posts I think the best way for you to get in decent cardio is on an elliptical machine. I suffered a horrible ankle injury back in May which sidelined me from the gym for most of the summer. When I started getting back I couldn't run so I relegated myself to the elliptical machines that I typically make fun of on a regular basis. I would do 2 miles each day and would bump up the resistance as I got stronger. Typically this would make for about a 20 minute workout (I also do weights but if you don't just do the elliptical for longer). Believe it or not, this combined with a good diet, I got back in pretty good shape. I'm back running now but I liked the elliptical enough I actually work it into my routine a couple times a week when my knees are sore or I'm too tired to run. For some reason the elliptical makes you feel like you're not working nearly as hard but I still sweat as much as when I run so my unscientific opinion is that you're still putting forth close to the amount of effort as a solid run. Just don't be a douche and leave the resistance on 0 and glide back and forth like the fattys without ever breaking a sweat. If you need any diet advice let me know.
