I'm 275 lbs. w/ joint pain and gait abnormalaties. should I walk in water or cycle? Can you give me an examples of exercises I should do?

If you are wanting to lose wight, exercise is fine.

BUT, drastically cutting your carbohydrate intake will work much better. Continue to eat meat, fish, cheese, eggs, butter, leafy green salads, etc. Don't eat more than 2200 calories.

Also, drink water and not diet soda. No more fruits or pasta or potato or corn or anything starchy or having carbs.

I bet you'll see pounds drop off pretty quickly. But, you have to be disciplined.

water is better as there will be less stress on your joints. A variety of stretching and strenghtening things are best. I love running in water! Good endurance exercise

Both!!!

Water exercise takes the impact of the weight off.
A recumbent bike would help strength your legs.

I don't have water excersie available to me year round.
I excerise 3 times a week.

I've always been a fan of anything to do with water. You can get such a good workout and it's not that hard on the body. Join a water workout class at a gym.

both are great!....water aerobics...dont just stick with one workout..you'll get bored...make a variety....

I have similar problems as I have a dislocated left hip and spinal arthritis. My doctors both orthopedic and general medical all want me to swim or do go to the YMCA and do my exercises in the pool. Less stress on my joints and more resistance with out the pain. Cycling works if you're using a stationary bike, Because than you can focus on riding and not have to worry about using your muscles to stay one the bike. I find that water sports and exercises work best for me.

One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to
