More than anything, lifting weights (with a proper routine and form) recruits the most muscle mass. This results in the best possible rate of fat loss. Ever wonder why that guy you see running at 5am every day looks like a fat, skinny guy? This is why.
To start, pick up Strength Training Anatomy. Find one exercise in each section, and PAY ATTENTION to the warnings about posture/form. How many reps and sets? Well, that depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For weight loss, the standard 3x10 is not a bad place to start for the self-trained. If you don't know what you are doing, or are scared of the weight room, pay a trainer for one session to show you around or complete one of our Weight Training Familiarity workshops.
