    Start him on this: 
     
    First, have your Dad visit my web site.  www.BodyBuildingSenior.com.  I am 65.  I believe he might find a little inspiration for himself there.
     
    Second, give him this:
     
    Maximum Fat loss Training Plan Diet:
     Day 1:
    Meal 1: 4 egg whites + ½ grapefruit
    Meal 2: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken
    Meal 3: 6oz turkey/fish/chicken
    Meal 4: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken
    Meal 5: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken + 1 cup lettuce + 1 TSP Flax + vinegar and spices

    Day 2:
    Meal 1: 4 egg whites + ½ grapefruit
    Meal 2: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 3: 6oz turkey/fish/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 4: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 5: 3oz turkey/chicken + 1 cup lettuce + 1 TSP Flax + vinegar and spices

    Day 3:
    Meal 1: 4 egg whites + ½ grapefruit
    Meal 2: 3oz turkey/fish/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 3: 6oz turkey/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 4: 3oz turkey/chicken + 1 cup veggies
    Meal 5: Carb up Meal: 1 cup oatmeal; 6oz sweet potato; 1 banana + 1 cup veggies
     
    Do day 1-2-3-1-2-3-1 for the diet.
     
    Workout and cardio
    Monday and Thursday
     
    Stepper: 10 min all out
    Then do the following circuit for four cycles:
     
    Pull Ups
    Squats
    Dips
    Rows
    Jump Rope (120 counts)
     
    Then do the following circuit for three cycles:
     
    Hanging Leg Lifts
    Dumbbell Press
    Close Grip Bench Press
    Jump Rope (120)
     
    Bike: 10 minutes, moderate pace
     
    Wednesday: Moderate cardio for 40-60 minutes
     
    Tuesday and Friday
     
    Treadmill: 9% incline at maximum pace 10 minutes
    Then do the following circuit for four cycles:
     
    Lunges
    Dead Lifts
    Incline Bench Press
    Military Press
    Jump Rope (120)
     
    Then do the following circuit for three cycles:
     
    Incline Sit Ups
    Upright Rows
    Curls
    Jump Rope (120)
     
    Precor: 10 min moderate pace
     
    The reps are 10 per exercise, done with a controlled negative and a 3-5 second positive.
     
    The jump rope is for 1 minute, it’s easier to just count 120 reps.

    ill make sure he will follow the diet but im pretty sure that he cant do dips or pull ups or hanging leg lifts. and a maximum pace for a treadmill for him is probably no higher than 4-4.5 mph. but i will get him started on it and will have him check out the website, thanks for your help.
