Long story short, I used to be in amazing shape. ~5% body fat. I was a pretty hardcore skater and did that for hours upon hours every day.

Fast forward 10 years... I stopped skating and picked up martial arts... I did some pretty intense kung fu training for ~6 years. But te past 2-3 years I have been working 60+ hours a week with basically ZERO excercise. I had to stop MA due to work and other things.

I have lost a lot of muscle, gained body fat, and just have no endurance now.

I want to get back in top shape, but running is not pretty much out of the question. During my skating days I suffered a severe hip injury that just doesn't allow me to run for long distances. I can do some sprints, but it really irritates my hip.

So what are my options from getting off the couch and back into top shape at this point?
