How to get in shape after foot surgery for football?

The important thing when you work out is to strengthen your previous injuries, not hurt them. So it would be best if you didn't push yourself too hard. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no way you will loose 25 pounds in a month. You would literally have to run on a treadmill and eat nothing but carrots. It's not happening. But you could loose anywhere from 8+ pounds easily in a month. You are going to have to change up your diet plan and track your calories (I use a website called Live-Strong: www.livestrong.com) and you will have to find a routine that mixes up strength training, cardio, and weight training. If you have a great fitness center talk to your coach about a workout plan. Or -if you can afford one- try hiring a personal trainer, they know exactly what to do. I feel bad that I can't help you out more but I would need lots more information about your injury, your diet, your activity level, and a bunch of other routine stuff. I hope that helped.
