    Welcome to the forums Voritlas. Didn't Alexander come from Macedonia? Not planning on conquering the world anytime soon I hope.

    I hope you enjoy your time here. There's no food, but there's some great people!

    Kind Regards

    The only way to lose fat is with a calorie-deficit. You must eat fewer calories than you burn. This has to start with reducing your diet. Exercise enables you to burn more calories in your day, but if you don't control your calorie intake, this will not help. Sure you can accelerate your metabolism a little with regular exercise (and pound for pound, muscle burns more calories every minute just by existing than the same amount of fatty tissue does, so increasing the amount of muscle you have automatically means you will burn more calories.), but only by controlling your calorie intake can you truly lose that unnecessary weight.

    Eat more fruit and vegetables, reduce fatty foods in your diet. Change carb sources to complex carb sources rather than simple (or processed) sugars. Eat wholegrain foods rather than white bread/pasta, eat brown rice not white, etc.

    Burn off your excess carbs with plenty of cardiovascular exercise and work lifting weights into your regime so that you increase the calorie-burning potential of your muscles.

    Try using the treadmill at the gym for 15 minutes and then the elliptical trainer for 15 minutes after each workout. Slowly increase the difficulty and the time you spend on them.

    Hope this helps set you on the right track.

    Kind Regards
    Dave

    I meant do the strength/gym/bodybuilding workout first, then finish off with 15 mins Treadmill and 15 mins elliptical. Should burn about 400-500 calories at a moderate strength and more if you have more stamina than I have!!!

    Always do the cardio after weight training, not the other way around, or you will burn yourself out in the cardio and the weight-training will suffer and not be optimal.

    Kind Regards
    Dave
