creating a program for my dad and need help

[sidhu11]

So my dads 49 years old and has never lifted weights before . Plus he had a accident where he lost some of his fingers on his left hand so using freeweights (barbelles n dumbells) is a problem so he will be sticking with machines. I want to start him off with something simple.
I was thinking of trying a full body routine for him, but am very lost due to the fact im new with bodybuilding myself . Id like to try something like ..

Monday-training followed by 20 minutes cardio
Tuesday-30-45 minutes cardio
Wednesday- 3--45 minutes cardio
Thursday-training with 20 minutes cardio
Friday-cardio for 30-45
Saturday-training with 20 minute cardio
sunday-30-45 minutes cardio

i didnt add any rest days because he already does cardio everyday so that is pretty much a rest for him .

I need help thinking of a simple routine for him on the days hes training. Please help

You didn't mention any goals but with that much cardio I'm going to assume he's trying to cut some body fat.

Good thread to start with, Emma-Leigh's calorie/macro thread:: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=121703981

He can use Fitday.com or Livestrong.com to track his intake.

http://www.fitday.com/

http://www.livestrong.com/

Protein = 4 calories per gram
Carbohydrates = 4 calories per gram
Alcohol = 7 calories per gram
Fat = 9 calories per gram

Mix and match in order to hit his macros.
