Ok so im not going to pretend i know anything, honestly through my life all my workouts came in the ways of activities and playing sports and such. So please when you respond bear in mind a lot of the acronyms may be over my head.

I decided that I am going to start going to the gym and working out, i'm getting older i got too much belly fat, and i need help so i dont just feel like im spinning in circles without results so i got jefit to assist me.

Vital stats to get you aware of my needs/goals etc
6'5"
375 lbs
33 years old
knee and back problems limitations being squatting/kneeling, running (power walk seems ok but i'd like to limit that too)

I already feel overwhelmed with all this, I was over 600 lbs a couple years ago and through diet i was able to trim a lot of it, but now its time to move and get more out.

My exercise area i know has weight machines, ellipiticals (which from what i understand do great with knee injuries) swimming pool and sauna.

I want to make a workout that for at least a few weeks so that my body can get used to the extra stress of workouts can be limited in days but eventually 3 days a week tops just because of lack of ability to spend the time at the gym.

I'm not lookin to be cut in 30 days, i feel that i have a healthy weight in mind 250lbs which is less than my football weight was back in high school but not in the morbidly obese range which i currently am in... if i reach that goal then i can focus on new ones.

I'm not sure what else i can put in here to beg for the assistance of the community of people who know waay more about this stuff than i do.

I just want to stop feeling daunted and start moving forward.

Thanks from the big guy
J
