Weights

Building muscle is very important in the fat burning process. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn all day long. Keep in mind that unless you are eating A LOT of food, your not going to look like a pro bodybuilder after a few months or even a few years. It takes a LOOOONG time to look like that. SOOOOO, after your morning cardio you should give yourself plenty of time to rest and recover. I'm talking like 6-8 hours. Cardio and weights need to be kept as far apart in the day as possible, if not then just remember that which ever you choose to do first, the other will suffer from pure fatigue. Most people are afraid of lifting weights because they just don't know how to and they are embarrassed. We'll forget about EVERYONE else there and start with one muscle group a day. For beginners start with two exercises of that muscle group and get a weight that your EXTREMELY comfortable with and warm up. EX: Mon-Chest: bench press and pec flys. If you don't know what those exercises are, you can google them or www.bodybuilding.com will show you. After you feel good and warmed up, step up the weight a little and try to do 10 repetitions. Now you can either increase the weight and lower the repetitions or you can keep that weight and repetitions, whichever you feel comfortable. Then do that two more times, then switch to the next exercise. Be sure to give yourself a minute or two in between the sets. Don't sit too long and get relaxed. Then the next day, choose back exercises, biceps, triceps, or legs. That is enough for five days, but the workouts will only be 30-45 minutes maximum. Try this for a few weeks then we can combine muscle groups and only lift around 3 times a week.
