Extreme Weight Loss
Here's the scenario...
I have a student that wants to join SF Guard unit here in Florida. He's 21, 5'6, 247 lbs. His goal is to be down to at least 180 by September, which is the date he wants to sign up. He was originally 258 lbs but he dropped 10 in one week with the following plan:
Daily
treadmill - 30 minutes (run/walk combo)
pushups - 50 (goal)
situps - 50 (goal)
pullups - 10 (goal)
regular streatching for a martial arts workout.
3Xs a week
60 minute martial arts workout, very cardio
Calorie intake - 1800 min 2000 max - Balanced mix of carbs, proteins, etc, with emphasis on vegitables. Lots and lots of water.
My question is, is this plan dangerous to his health? Is there something else I should be doing instead of the above plan?
I don't want to kill him but I do want to give him the best chance I can to succeed.
Thanks
