Hi Bob, good to talk with you.

Do you have any equipment at home or are you looking for a body weighted regime?

Is there any scope to increase what you have to use, by purchasing more, as those two dumbbells and that weight alone wouldn't be much use except for training your legs, as I wouldn't want to use the heavier things on the upper body, because it would be too much too soon.

So we could stick with a body weighted workout, unless that is more weight could be purchased :).

This sort of thing should work for you and it only requires your body weight.

Squats, 2 sets, 10 reps

Lunges, 2 sets, 10 reps

Deadlifts, 2 sets, 10 reps

Bent over Rows, 2 sets, 10 reps

Bench press, 2 sets, 10 reps

Shrugs, 2 sets, 10 reps

Planks 30 seconds.

As for the diet, what times do you eat at and what foods do you eat at those times?

This diet plan I've posted before might be of some use to you.

Breakfast

Option 1.

Bowl of Whole-grain Cereal and 1 rasher of Bacon, fat trimmed off and scrambled Eggs, (2 Egg Whites + Yolk)

Option 2.

Protein shake, small portion of Nuts, (excluding higher carb ones like Cashews, Chestnuts and Grapenuts), + Apple. Give the Apple 10-15 minutes to digest to improve digestion.


Snack

Option 1.

Portion of Turkey + Orange

Option 2.

Small Portion of Peanuts, some Chicken + Raw Carrott.


Lunch

Option 1.

Large Beef Sandwich with trimmings, I.E. Tomato, Lettuce, Cucumber etc.

Option 2.

Bowl of Chicken Soup, + Pot of yoghurt.


Snack

Option 1.

Turkey + Cashews

Option 2.

Ham + 2 large Tomatos


Dinner

Option 1.

Pork with mashed Potato.

Option 2.

Chicken and Rice

Option 3.

100g Halibut + Broccoli


Snack

Option 1.

Beans on Toast

Option 2.

Ham Sandwich, no trimmings.

Easy on the bread with both options.

You could add a few things to certain meals, like Sea Salt, Cracked Black Pepper, Parsley, Mustard, Herbs, Garlic.

Minor adjustments can be made if necessary.

As for the question about training, the training should take as long as it needs to, but it shouldn't take longer than about 40 minutes every time.

Depnding on what sort of leg injury, then there's no reason why you can't train the upper body.

You might even be able to train the lower body too, as providing you can a full range of motion with the legs, you could train anyway, however if you're on crutches with a broken leg, then obviously not, because you'll be doing body weighted stuff.

In addition to working out with dumbbells three times a week, do a full body isometrics workout. Pull on something sturdy with your hands and feet or interlock your fingers and toes then pull for a few seconds. Wrap your arms around your legs then pull. Push both feet against the other then push your hands against all parts of your body. Push your chest and stomach against your thighs then push your back and buttocks against something.
