Need some help here! I know not the first thing about exercise, but it is time for me to change this. What do you guys suggest as a good workout routine.

Any websites I can check out?

I wouldn't mind hearing thoughts on some good equipment to. e.g. Bowflex?

If you are fat and exercise, you will still be fat.

To lose fat, (at a reasonable rate) you need to go on a diet.

No P90x or Bowflex will change that...

I appreciate that. I fully understand that, and I also plan on changing my diet. I'm actually pretty well versed in how to do that, for me it's just a matter of doing it.

Curious, anybody have experience with one of these? [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Bowflex-100141-PR1000-Home-Gym/dp/B001AS697O/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1303514258&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym: Sports & Outdoors[/ame]
 
Calories in - calories out. Calculate your maintenance caloric intake, then subtract 300 - 500 calories from it. Doing this alone will help you lose weight. Add an exercise program and stick to it. P90x/Insanity is popular because it keeps things exciting which enables people to stick to it easier.

I'd recommend seeking further advice not from a marketing forum, but rather a Bodybuilding forum. There's good information regardless if you want to term yourself as a 'bodybuilder'. Be sure to check out the nutrition section, it's important.
 
I pay decent money for PLR bodybuilding articles on Bicep Workouts | The Best Bicep Workout Routines On the Internet!

I've personally been hitting the gym with this routine.

200lbs 6'2"

Warmup on bike on treadmill - 20 minutes

Find resistance equipment, and do drop 3's?

For instance (Butterfly machine you can do 100lbs on)
Do 100
Then 70% of that weight
Then 50%
Then 30%

Change machine.

Do that until your arms are jelly.

Cool down for 20 on a treadmill or bike.

I don't practice much ab or leg work as it seems to be slimming with my workout above. I've lost about 4 lbs in 2 weeks, 3 times a week at the gym.

Good luck!
 
This is no joke. Exercise is good for you and helps with heart health and general feeling of well being.

But for weight loss the real answer is in food/calorie intake.

1 lb is made up of X number of calories. To lose a pound you need to have a defecit of X number of calories.

lbs to lose * calories = calorie defecit needed.

calorie defecit / # days to hit weight target = defict per day.

The key then is to determine how many calories you burn naturally per day to figure your deficit.

Exercise your ass off and it barely equals the calories in a bowl of cereal.

Good luck.

X = 3500 calories...
 
Yep it's very simple just eat less calories than you burn. That's the golden rule, if you eat less than you burn, you'll lose weight.

If you follow this rule everything works and makes sense.

What you'll realise soon is that you'll need to avoid junk foods since they have a crazy amount of calories and it will be impossible to burn more than you eat unless you're running a marathon every day. So just focus on your diet and make sure you exercise every day with something like p90x.

-dont drink sodas or fruit juice, instead drink water and eat fruit/veg.
-for bread avoid white and bagels, and eat brown/wholemeal
-eat oatmeal in the morning instead of the shitty cereals. 1 cup oats, 1.5 cups milk in microwave for 3 minutes. Then chop up a banana and mix it in there. yum
-eat lean meats, fish, eggs. avoid processed crap and junk foods (but tinned tuna is good)

stay focused and determined. use p90x and just do it every day. easier said than done but it will be so worth it.
 
1 muscle a day, 4 sets of 4 different exercises.
25 minutes cardio after that.

I'm down 31 pounds since January without changing my diet.

Wrong.

Tim Ferriss ate some food and measured his crap. The numbers don't add up. The caloric model is outdated and plain wrong. If you eat as much ice cream to equal your calories of eating a regular meals, you aren't going to see the same results.

Tim Ferriss is an idiot, though... Someone who wrote a book called, "The 4 hour work week", and then jumped to something called "The 4 hour body" isn't really someone you should be looking to for fitness advice.

The caloric model is not outdated. It's called the law of thermodynamics...

While there will be a difference in body composition if you eat your daily caloric requirements from Ice Cream vs a balanced diet, weight loss will still be very similar...

That's why only ignorant morons want to lose weight. The objective is to lose FAT, unless you're completely ignorant.
